Original Title: [Gruttadaro] “Bills fans may have hoped that this press conference would quell their fears about the future of the franchise, but it only intensified them. The hastiness of this massive decision with massive consequences wasn’t debunked—it was confirmed.”
From How to Lose a Fan Base in Ten Hours:
Maybe McDermott deserved to get fired, but he didn’t deserve this. The carelessness with which the organization dispatched a man who brought legitimacy to the Bills—who loved Buffalo fans when no one else would, who made snow angels with Allen and declared, “I’m standing up for Buffalo” after the Broncos game, his last press conference ever as Bills head coach—betrayed a complete lack of comprehension of fans’ feelings, and a level of unthinking leadership that hadn’t been seen in Orchard Park since the days of Rex Ryan.
I’m getting some very post-Luka trade Mavs vibes after all of this.
