    Current situation makes little sense. Where is this going?

    Point 7 is somewhat interesting, in the context you provide.

     

    Of course, it suggests that either (a) marrone has the owner's ear or, (b) marrone is trying to get the owner's ear, and either way, (c ) Marrone is running and end-run around Whaley.

     

    In a normal chain of command, Marrone's first and only call should be directly to Whaley. Because its not a coaching emergency, its an organizational emergency. Its not like Orton broke a leg right before the next game. Calling, texting, informing, etc. is Not a coach's job.

    The thought of Whaley being ousted makes me sick. Honestly, he kind of seems like a guy who believes in Merit over politics and is staying above the fray. I like Marrone a little less now (mostly because I dont like politicking)

     

    That stood out to me as well.

    Another point that I vaguely remember. Marrone said something about himself, Whaley and Russ will have a discussion about a personnel decision..but I thought russ was out of that now?

    Where was Cyrus K. this year? I dont get it.

    Hummm. Seems like just the player we saw this year--a 21 year old rookie who was overwhelmed by the big stage.

     

    BTW, the operative phase here is 21-year old.

     

    Seems to me we have a pro bowl DT who fit that description a few years ago...one who many TSW pundits labled a 'bust' after his second year (let alone his first).

     

    How'd those pronostications work out, fellas?

     

    These are really young guys who are making a major jump. We all have too many conclusions to their outcome, way too soon.

    Marrone is clearly angling for something, probably more money and who knows what else. The opt out in Marrone's contract was leaked on purpose. If this is true, forget about Hackett getting fired. If Marrone really has the leverage, he will not have to make any changes to his staff unless he wants to, and the only member of the front office in real danger is Whaley. Marrone's stock is up and Whaley's is down. Whether this is fair, it is difficult to say.

     

    Very short term leverage

    Marrone - "you're stuck with me"

    I heard his comments made at the end of his presser.

     

    He was just goofing around, but it does show some insight into his mentality.

     

    A bit.

     

    I wouldn't read too much into this.

     

    To me, when the camera shows him on the sideline of the games, he looks like a man heading for the firing line, and he knows it.

     

    We'll see if I'm right.

     

    I dont get that feel from him. I usually get a sorta uncomfortable(cant expain it better) feeling watching a lame duck coach.

     

    I'm not stuck with that idiot. If he is the coach next year and Hackett is his OC and Orton is still possibly the starting QB.....I'm not gonna watch this trainwreck. I have better things to do than watch these cluess clowns anymore.

     

    This year has been the first sliver of positive light thats hit this team in a decade. Even a chance to land the playoffs this time of year is something.

    I agree the O needs sweeping changes. I'm not sure id flush and reboot this year.
