I think he fielded a horrible defense in Philly and got canned for it and a lot of people are probably wondering how much credit he really deserves for our D considering Rivera has built a top D everywhere he's been.

It wasn't horrible in Philly

He followed a legend. The Philly O didn't do anything with all the turnovers

Offense has a lot to do with D.

People are hyping McD up more than it should. This is still Rivera's Defense at the end of the day.

If anyone is going to get a HC job, I bet my money on Mr. Eric Washington.

Seeing as McDermott has already had a HC interview and Eric Washington hasn't, I said that you just put your money on a losing bet.

Not sure how much McD actually contributes to the overall D. When we had a sucky personnel we had a sucky defense and when we had really good players we had a very good def. It is actually really tricky to grade his overall performance.  With our current defense I think alot of coaches could make it look great. 

 

It like the Miami heat. You could give me the coaching job and I would still win the majority of the games. I just tell the Lebron, Dwade and Bosh to do their thang and get PAID

 

How much credit would you give the offense coordinator for the broncos?

Eric Washington might be one of the best overall position coaches in all of the NFL.  Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy, Dwan Edwards, Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short, Mario Addison, Colin Cole, Frank Alexander, Wes Horton, Antwan Applewhite.  Hell, that Roh guy looked pretty fuging good in preseason last year too even if he hasn't really seen any real game time.

 

Those are all average-to-good-to-great players, a lot of which were either fully developed here, or didn't show much until coming here.  Only real stinkers we've had were McClain and Fua, and that's because we didn't really have any other option at DT at the time other than Edwards until we picked up Cole, Star, and Short.

 

Hopefully the trend continues with Kony Ealy.

Either way we will be fine. If he bolts to take a HC gig, which I would if I were him, I doubt we even hire a replacement. Rivera has enough experience as a HC now that he can just take over as the HC/DC. They might hire a helper but Rivera will run the defense if Sean leaves.

McDermott is actually a very savvy smart defensive coach who is creative and imaginative.  He got little credit for what he did following a legend like Johnson.  McDermott came here to learn under Rivera and if he continues to put together top defenses he will be a lot like Mike Zimmer who eventually got his shot.  I said McDermott would be very good once he got the right players to play his scheme and he now has the front seven.  Once the secondary gels this defense will challenge for the best in the league and McDermott is a very big reason for that.
