And then when they're getting paid to talk, it's very different.

The prime example of that is one William Stephen Belichick, who has a very different demeanor when he's getting a paycheck to talk than he does when he's getting a paycheck to coach.

It would be a strange move though to replace a coach who has failed to take a generational quarterback to a Super Bowl with a coach who has failed to take a generational quarterback to a Super Bowl.

So Harbaugh for McDermott would be, I think, a tough sell.

They're opening a new stadium in Buffalo.

Owner Terry Pagula is going to have to make the call, but you only have so many years left of Josh Allen's prime.

And even though they're a low seed, this is arguably the best chance they have to...

to get to the place they've been trying to go since 1993, the last time the Bills went to a Super Bowl.

I think there's a question in Buffalo, and it makes the people in charge very nervous when we start talking about it, because I think they recognize they haven't done enough with Josh Allen.

A talent question?

Is it a coaching question?

And then that sets up the possibility of a half measure where McDermott stays, GM Brandon Bean goes, or Bean stays, McDermott goes.

Or look, I think the right way to run an organization is to have everyone on the same footing.

And we're either going to keep everyone or get rid of everyone.

But if the bill's job becomes open with Josh Allen,

I think that triggers the same reaction by the candidates as the availability of Harbaugh has triggered by the teams that are looking for coaches.

I think that becomes the number one job, no questions asked, if you can go work with Josh Allen and complete the job of building a team around him that turns the Bills into a Super Bowl champion.

Well, and it's possible there are more than one mystery teams because we're assuming that all six of the teams looking for coaches other than the Ravens made a call within the first 45 minutes.

It's possible it's more than one.

I ran through all the possibilities in an item that I posted an hour, hour and a half ago at PFT.
