Coaching Career
In July 2007 McDermott applied for the vacant manager's job at Boston United but was overlooked for the position, and United in turn appointed Tommy Taylor. In October 2008 McDermott distanced himself from speculation linking him to managing Grimsby Town after the sacking of Alan Buckley. McDermott then turned to coaching the Grimsby Institute Academy male and female football teams.
On 26 April 2009, John won the PFA Merit Award, one of the highest accolades in the game. In October 2009, he was once again linked with the vacant managers post at Grimsby following the sacking of Mike Newell. This time McDermott as well as Dean Windass expressed a desire to take the job. McDermott was appointed assistant manager of Harrogate Town ahead of the 2010–11 season.
