Currently the two most winningest head coaches ever fired in NFL history are:
-
Marty Schottenheimer from the 2006 Chargers. Career 47-33, 0.588
-
Tony Dungy from the 2001 Buccaneers. Career 54-36, 0.600
Sean McDermott is now career 68-41, 0.624, including being 6-6 at the moment.
Firing him now would set the NFL record for most winningest HC ever fired.
This is a purely emotion based argument. That a guy has some black mark on his soul where he can never make it there, and some other mythical coach is waiting on the horizon who can.
The only supportable evidence for winning Super Bowls is to make the playoffs as often as possible. 0.624 McDermott does that.
Ice cold take.
What is your take as to why McDermott has presided over such an incredible number of last second collapses? It’s bad luck that has nothing to do with him as a coach?
