From watching Cuse games I hope he brings his defensive coordinator Scott Shafer... Very high speed blitz heavy defense.

 

The biggest concern should be Special Teams. Syracuse sucked in that phase of the game. That is my only concern.

 

Marv Levy was a special teams coach on George Allen's staff with the redskins. Just saying...

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.

 

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.

 

And you're right it's a save money move.

I totally agree. If he could bring Shafer, we'd be dandy on defense.

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?

Also Marrone played for 2 seasons in the NFL.

 

He was an O-lineman with Miami and New Orleans.
