Sean McDermott was beloved when Carolina’s defensive coordinator. Carolina fielded a Top 12 defense 4 out 5 seasons when he was a coordinator, and twice had a Top 5 defense in those years. Now that he’s the head coach of Buffalo, you would think we would wish him the best in the AFC in what will clearly be a tough nut to crack in a division owned by the Patriots.
