cmjoyce113 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 From watching Cuse games I hope he brings his defensive coordinator Scott Shafer... Very high speed blitz heavy defense. Â The biggest concern should be Special Teams. Syracuse sucked in that phase of the game. That is my only concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 but Lovie Smith has a positive reputation with NFL players, and could have attracted some free agents here. Lovie = #Credibility!!! Â Marrone has none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hater Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Everyone is not going to be happy with this choice, I wanted Chip Kelly but we went in a different direction & at least it was a bottom feeder like Hue Jackson, I say give him a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Anchorage Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Its on NFL.com and appears to fit the Bills criteria: someone that does not demand much money and will not be allowed to have much control. Â Brandon must think he can market this guy, but at best, he seems like a poor man's Chip Kelly. Unfortunately it does look real. Well I hope all the good god not Lovie Smith types are happy. instead of a proven winning NFL coach we get a 25-25 bush league collage guy. Â And you're right it's a save money move.

BigdaddyinOrlando Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I like the hire. I think coming from the college ranks that he would be able to get the respect from the players because he played and coached in the nfl as apposed to no nfl exp. such as chip kelly. Not saying he will be better but will win the locker room over easier, though I am hoping he is better. The curious part is who are gonna be the cordinators. Did they get the feel that some of the interviewees might be willing to coach or does marrone have a some good ones lined up already, maybe some guys from the saints?

cmjoyce113 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'm wondering if Buffalo might try to get Pete Carmichael from New Orleans to be the offensive coordinator? Would be a lateral move but could call his own plays here whereas Payton called them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddgurley Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 So we hired Doug Marrone. Are you happy? And do you agree? Â My opinion-so stupid. Have a guy like lovie smith who wants the job with a proven track record and you hire Marrone? Dropped the ball again ugh!
