I agree. Making phone calls isn't too much to ask is it? Heck, at least make phone calls to the leaders of the team, like MW, KW, Wood, etc. Christ is that too much to ask? Theres no defense for it in my mind.

HAHA. Thanks for the morning laugh YOLO.

Bills 45 Marrone 3 A. Williams accidentally tackles Marrone in the sidelines during a play. Marrone goes down with a torn ACL. Cries about it. Contemplates retiring from coaching.

I would be OK with promoting Schwartz. Lord knows at least half the team responds to him, which is a lot more than couldve been said for Marrone

Its the NFL. Nobody is above reproach. Especially when your coaching record is below .500. If Tom Coughlin's skin was as thin as Marrone's appears to be, he wouldve left NY years ago. But therein lies the difference between 2 men.

Don't worry man, you should get a txt from him hopefully by tomorrow. He's gotta talk to Woody first. You know, priorities.

Screw loyalty. I get the whole "it's a business" crap. I get it. Would you quit your job after two years and simply send your coworkers/subordinates a txt saying "peace, i'm out". If I was close to a coworker and he pulled that, I'd think he/she was a POS and I'd be glad they were gone. But that's just me. And I know that happens sometimes in every sector, but it still says a lot about the person, regardless. Just my opinion. Marrone don't give a crap about my opinion, I get it. Just stating how I feel about Marrone. In the real world you'd have conversations with the people you were close to, and then send the obligatory farewell email to the rest of the coworkers you could care less about. Making 60 phone calls isn't too difficult. How many phone calls do you think he made to recruits when he was at Syracuse? Listen, this a personal stance. There's no wrong/right. Just how I feel. I'll move on now, as it's pointless to argue over it.

Personally, you can't make phone calls? A mass txt? He didn't have time to call the players - even if he only called the team captains/locker room leaders/veterans? I'm not "demonizing" him - I'm calling it like it is. There are right ways and wrong ways to do things. I don't have to like it, but it still doesn't change the reality of how he went about it. It was half-assed and weak.

It's simple man - he just didn't have an epiphany over night man. He must've had this in his mind for a while. Let the players know at the end of the season, in person, like a decent HUMAN BEING.

What checklist are you following? And there are ways to go about things - forget the money. Via mass text? LMAO. Pure class. But yeah, I guess that's how you would bounce too, bro.

What, take a severance package but have no job lined up? Or stay at the company I'm at? If I didn't have another job lined up than no, I wouldn't do the same thing Marrone did. Marrone either had a backdoor deal with another franchise or has an ego the size of niagara falls to think he'll be that much in demand. Lets also not forget that Marrone made over a million/year at Syracuse, so lets not pretend this was marrone's "last chance at a pay day". That's BS. He's not 80. He could've easily gone back to college if he wanted to and gotten paid in the millions probably b/c that's where he ultimately belongs - leading boys.

$$$ wise maybe it's a no-brainer, but who's to say he'll get another HC position in the NFL anytime soon? If his mindset is I'd rather cash out now after 2 years as an NFL coach (which he was very very lucky to land in the first place due to his lack of pedigree), then god help his prospects at landing another HC position. If you're on the outside looking in, I wouldn't be impressed with Marrone's commitment to his players or the franchise. Marrone isn't Parcells who's been there and done that and he can pretty much come and go as he pleases. Marrone still needed to earn his stripes in the NFL. Instead he cashed out and ran away from the challenge, like a little B*tch. Don't compare Hughes to Marrone - it's apples and oranges. Marrone hasn't done jack sh*t in this league as a HC.

Lmao. And signed them with his blood.

Seriously man. Hes a scumbag. Good riddance.

Its faster after we got rid of dead weight - Marrone. Happy New Year to us indeed!

Haha. What a scumbag of a human being. Go back to SYracuse and take your court jester of an OC with you. Im actually happy. I really am. What a clown. Who would want this pathetic scumbag leading men?

Media obviously creates a narrative, but the media is also driven by insiders who (some) have legit connections to officials within the league that you and I don't have. Fact remains, some nfl executives have interest in Rex or else he'd be on 0 interviews right now. And like I stated earlier, there are a plethora of reasons that Rex's time in NY was ultimately a failure - some of which were his fault, and many others were not. That doesn't mean he should never get another shot at the HC gig. It's not like Rex has been a HC now on 2 different franchises and we can begin to establish a pattern. He's been HC 1x with one franchise and he did have limited success which many coaches never achieve, that in and of itself will probably give him another shot at being a HC, if not this year then next.

Exactly.

I wonder what fans across the US would say if the question was posed two years ago: "Would you want Doug Marrone to coach your team?" It probably would been a 2% Yes / 98% No split, but yet here he is in Buffalo. He's getting interviews, so the interest is there at least.

I kinda like Shane Carden - has a bit of a weird arm delivery but I could see him maybe like a Chad Pennington type QB in the NFL (at best, which would still be pretty decent)

+1

I recognize that NH started also calling many more pass plays this year than last but there was obviously a disconnect between EJ and the HC/OC and it can't all be on the HC/OC. Fact is, EJ was grossly inaccurate and had issues reading the field, and those are two problems that are hard to fix. I'm not a NH fan at all, but EJ was their guy so we can't argue that we need to develop a gameplan for him b/c that goes without saying. Maybe the more difficult reality to swallow is that EJ can't perform to the level that's required to execute at the NFL level. We'll see (I agree 14 games isn't enough, I'm just not hopeful).

Who was the offense designed for, if not for EJ? NH and Marrone came here together. EJ was their guy. I don't get it.

Schaub has completely fallen apart, IMO. No thanks, at all.

LMFAO. Awesome
