I personally would have opted to keep McDermott and Brady. Fire Beane if you want, though I understand new GMs generally want to bring in their own staff too. But what's done is done.

I suspect we will hire a young offensive mind to replace McD. My main concerns about that plan are (1) likely a first time head coach with Super Bowl or bust pressure on them just doesn't feel good and (2) Think you need to find the right personality to get buy in from players that would run through a wall for McDermott, and some of the young offensive guys like McDaniel for example maybe aren't the right fit in that regard.

Point #1 makes me maybe favor Daboll over Joe Brady and Davis Webb if we're talking about the Bills/former Bills guys. At least Daboll has some experience to have learned from/had one good season as a head coach.

Another concern with McDaniel is his usual offensive style doesn't really mesh with what Josh does best. But he's smart enough to hopefully change his style to maximize Josh. Gut feeling is he just isn't the right guy for the job even though he's arguably the most qualified candidate.

Kubiak is a fine option. Some similarities in his offensive style and our current system. Has the nepotism/pedigree that folks obsess over. Think he did a pretty good job in New Orleans too.

Bummed that Stefanski is already off the board. I think he's probably the right combination of proven track record, offensive smarts, and personality for the job but alas, here we are.
