IMO = In my opinion.
I made a statement like that because I feel Rex Ryan would have found a way to get sufficient production out of his offense working with the personnel he had. Would Rex have punted on 4th and 1 in the Raiders game? I doubt it. Would he have gone more than TEN series of 3 and out before making a change? I doubt it.
Bottom line is Marrone is not ready. IMO, He squandered the teams chances of making the playoffs with his hiring/retaining his buddy N. Hackett. A good coach finds a way to adjust and mask his weakness through game planning. Marrones game plan all year has been to rely on the defense to win his games. Hell, why no just give Schwarts the HC job, Marrone offers this team nothing.
