Just some numbers
Before moving on, here’s some fun numbers on McDermott’s time in Buffalo. As the Bills coach for three seasons, McDermott’s already moving on up the team’s all-time leader board in some aspects. And even in some that he’s not quite there yet, it’s still a nice time to know those figures, right?
For what it’s worth, we’ll start here: McDermott is the 20th coach in the team’s history.
- All-time wins: 25 (5th), trails Wade Phillips (29).
- Total games coached: 48 (tied with Wade Phillips, Gregg Williams, Chan Gailey, trails Dick Jauron’s 57).
- First coach to be extended since: Dick Jauron, 2008.
- Playoff seasons: 2 (tied with Wade Phillips, trails Chuck Knox (3).
- Win percent: .521 (4th).
- All-time sideline claps: Endless (1st).
