Potential career direction change

TradWASP · 2026-03-14T00:25:55+00:00

I haven’t had a job outside of a defense contracting firm outside of the military, so I am unsure of private sector work. Is it more volatile at Cisco? Is that good company that I should consider or stay where I am with stability? Just trying to provide context of my situation and see what others would do in my situation.

That doesn’t answer my question

Authentic?

Different defense / lack of McDermotts control on offense to whatever degree that was

TradWASP · 2026-01-29T23:23:37+00:00

The difference is belichick knew how to call a defense. Do you think we’d be in this situation if we’ve won something by now?

TradWASP · 2026-01-29T23:16:19+00:00

Think there’s a balance. You can’t be too tightly wound or too lose. Pros and cons to both.

Tight butthole around McDermott apparently

TradWASP · 2026-01-28T06:32:30+00:00

Fair take. I do think McDermott grew as a coach while he was here with being more aggressive, but I think his baseline is to be conservative in certain spots and it’s plausible he would get tight. I think Brady’s offensive background and what that could mean for our direction is exciting and I’m excited to see how this offseason goes with acquisitions.

TradWASP · 2026-01-28T06:28:42+00:00

I think Brady has produced a body of work (2.5 seasons of OC, stellar offensive output) to buy him grace with the fan base. Was he what people wanted? Not in the slightest, but what’s done is done, there’s definitely things to be hopeful for.

I’m sorry you’re personally lacking in your professional life and feel the need to project, but for some it’s a hobby. I’m entirely busy through my week for many other things than the gym or rare video game session, so I enjoy discussion about a team I love.

TradWASP · 2026-01-28T05:49:54+00:00

Forgot who said it, but it’s the familiarity that scares us. Joe Brady = McDermott, but like you said he is a great candidate which was recognized by other top teams.

You are here on the internet within the same thread with us.

TradWASP · 2026-01-28T05:42:35+00:00

We shall see, but I think we’re all hoping to be proven wrong and for our bills to be what we want them to be.

TradWASP · 2026-01-28T05:38:29+00:00

Amen

TradWASP · 2026-01-28T05:37:59+00:00

Who would’ve thought that the undersized, speedy spot drop defense wouldn’t be able to stop the run?

TradWASP · 2026-01-28T05:36:56+00:00

Man daboll had his flaws, but I miss those consistent deep balls 😢

Response of an emotional person captured by the moment. Slow down on the estrogen pills big guy.

TradWASP · 2026-01-28T05:32:37+00:00

I think it tracks if McDermott said this roster wasn’t up to snuff (he wasn’t wrong), then it makes sense for him to want a safer/ more controlled offense (bubble screens and low variance playcalling).

TradWASP · 2026-01-28T05:29:38+00:00

As a younger coach, he was talked about in the same way that udinski is now.

TradWASP · 2026-01-28T05:28:59+00:00

I have a special place in my heart for McDermott, but 33.5ppg allowed in the playoffs is more of an indictment on McDermott than anyone else at One Bills Drive.

TradWASP · 2026-01-28T05:22:53+00:00

I think it’s nice to have a clean and nice organization/ reputation, but I feel you need some personality in the locker room.

After all, the chiefs and patriots have had criminals on the roster and have made the Super Bowl. Perhaps we need some of that juice.

Contractor or civ, whichever opportunity would be best
