Do we really need to worry about a grade from a guy sporting an haircut like his

Funny because it is true Funny because it is true

They have a lot of talent. And Pettine will get a better OC than we have. I would expect them to make the playoffs next year. They were closer than the Bills.

Can Crossman do it?

I am good with it. Buddy has always done a good job with talent evaluation and i command Whaley for using him that way.

We will finish under 6-10 next year if he leaves. Marrone has less than impressed me when he retained Crossman.

I saw an interesting thing on ESPN or NFL channel this weekend. It was a list of advice points Belicheat had given one of his coordinator who was moving on to a HC job. Number 2 was do not hire/thrust your friends, they will disapoint you. I hope Maronne caught that bit. But what I really hope for is that he won't be to proud to learn from it.

Agree with you and I no longer feel the need to be impressed when someone graduated from Stanford

Is this a joke I am not getting?

I like the idea of Kyle Van Noy in the second round if still available. Would be great compliment to Kiko.

Seeing the way Marrone is keeping a guy like Crossman, I have little faith the ship will turn around. So I am not gonna lose sleep on it.

Belichicky has to be in the top 5 best coach of all time. He could be number one by leaving NE and come to Buffalo, win 2 or 3 superbowls to prove he can win anywhere.

I would prefer a KC type turnaround.

I would not care about that if I was a GM. I am hiring a headcoach not a coordinator. I think that over and over, GMs make the same mistake of hiring people that do well as coordinators. The skils required to be a headcoach are significantly different.

so what is your point?

Anybody getting mad about this yet?

I had lots of faith in Marrone but lost it all when it was announced they would retain Crossman

This makes me mad every day i see this thread. Who is in for a billboard. I would spring some $

And don't point out Crossman's history at Detroit or Carolina. Maybe you all feel he should not have been hired in the first place, but Marrone disagreed and one year is typically not enough time to quit on someone trying to build something. If Marrone thought Crossman was a fail, he'd fire him now to save himself, not keep him around and have his "old friend" screw up his career-- that don't make walkin' around sense. Marrone might be wrong, but people have no quality information to judge the situation, and Marrone does. This a ridiculous statement. How can you not look at past history? Not only you have past history and then ad the fact that the team went fom 8th in league to freaking 30th. That is 30th out of 32. Or a drop of 24 spots. There is no excuse for that. If it was 15th, than ok, let's give it another year.

Can we get a "fire Crossman Billboard" ?

Agree. Serious mistake on his part.

So 2 more years of Marrone and we start over? Have to feel bad for the quality players that waist their career here

Is that the secret to get to 2000 posts?

Very impressive. Holds on to the ball for sure

The fact that he blames players for the terrible special team performance is super disapointing to me. Those more or less same guys were ranked 6th last year. I appreciate friendship but it should not come in the way of work performance. There is no question we need a better special team coach.
