Hey BPA, did you mean to attach a link?

Do we know that Pegula wasn't aware of Marrone's opt-out clause? Or is this just an assumption? I'm asking seriously b/c I haven't read an official article saying that the owner/mgmt was not aware of it. I'd assume that they WERE aware of it until I'm told/read otherwise. Whether he would exercise it or not is a completely different animal.

Seeing how he alienated other players, I don't doubt it one bit. Marrone seems like the type of human being who will continuously cut off his nose to spite his face.

That's fine. But how could a consultant have predicted that Marrone was going to opt out months later? There was nothing preemptive that could've been done about that until the opt out is actually exercised.

Marrone probably stormed out of the locker room after those games too.

Exactly what "ahead of the curve" actions did you want them to take? Are you assuming that they KNEW Marrone was going to opt out? I don't know that. I'm under the assumption that they DIDN'T know he was going to opt out. So if they didn't know he was going to opt out, what the heck did you expect them to do? Start interviewing candidates BEFORE he opts out, just in case? According to reports, an extension was in place with Marrone, but yet he bounced anyway. So what do you WANT? Elaborate. I for one, don't need the owner making an announcement saying "Everything will be alright, fans". We lost MARRONE not freaking Vince Lombardi for christ's sake.. No announcement needs to be made for that scumbag in order to make me feel better as a fan. But that's just my personal opinion.

I must've missed that. Where did he say he wouldn't have drafted EJ at 16? I was always under the impression that Marrone and Nix were both on the same page with EJ.

I would take any serviceable veteran QB to compete with EJ at this point. There really aren't many options. Foles would be awesome. But if we trade for Foles, EJ is essentially done I'd imagine. Would Kelly want EJ? EJ for Foles? We have to wait until we get a HC/OC (i assume NH is gone) before we can begin to talk about QB.

LMAO. I officially can't stand the guy. Rarely does someone I've never met get under my skin.

I for one believe in the Pegulas. In over their head? Nonsense. You don't become that successful in life and get in over your head. They're smart enough to know their limitations and hire the right people to make the right decisions for them. That's what successful people do. That's what they'll do. Give them time for christ's sake.

We've all lost someone to cancer. It really sucks. Poor guy.

I voted "yes" but I don't have a strong opinion and understand everyone's argument to keep him up there.

What I find interesting is that Marrone apparently was VERY happy with the EJ pick. But after half a season with EJ you're telling me he got so angry that we didn't draft another QB that he stormed out of the room? Marrone is either bipolar or a complete hothead. Or both.

What scum.

I personally dont even care at this point. To me NH is so closely tied to the FILTH that is Marrone, that i want nothing to do with him. How long have these two clowns been together for now? Ship him out.

So are you saying you wanted pegula to start their HC search before Marrone even opted out. Just bc the opt out clause was there doesnt he was going to use it. Everyone was paying attention and id like to know how many people expected it like you say. It was a surprise to everyone.

Maybe hes now a Ravens fan

Welcome to journalism. Youre going to have a short career if you start naming sources that dont want to be named. I agree

Haha. Can we PLEASE start bumping the threads from 1 yr ago where people started ripping Marrone bc of his demeanor? Id just like to keep tabs on who was right and who wasnt. Because i know many of us were right.

Not gonna lie, reading this thread makes me question some people's sanity.

Haha . CAM awesome.

Arizona done. I really feel bad for Arians. Got screewed last year and gets screwed again this yr

Arizona is not the same team they were 5 weeks ago. All of a sudden Cam should get props for winning a whopping half dozen games or so in a putrid division. Theres nothing superman like about that.

Really? And theres no denying Cam has had a disappointing NFL career to this point, considering where he was drafted and how much hype he had.

Yup. Cam is pretty inaccurate too, but can make up for it elsewhere to a certain extent. EJ is inaccurate and can't really make up for it elsewhere.
