PearlHowardman Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The split second I found out that Russ Brandon was promoted to President/CEO of the Buffalo Bills I knew that Chan Gailey was gone and SU Orange football head coach Doug Marrone was a likely successor. I knew this because like myself, Russ Brandon is from Syracuse, New York. The hiring of Doug Marrone is nothing more than a regionalization of the Buffalo Bills football team in CNY. Marrone was only 25-25 in his career at the 'Cuse. Finally I get to see a SU football presence on the Buffalo Bills but that's likely all this will ever amount to. Even if Marrone drafts SU Orange quarterback Ryan Nassib in the NFL draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The hiring of Doug Marrone is nothing more than a regionalization of the Buffalo Bills football team in CNY. Marrone was only 25-25 in his career at the 'Cuse. Yes because Brandon realizes that it'll be easier selling a few more tickets in the mighty Syracuse-Utica-Rome market by hiring the Syracuse head coach than it will be by winning more games with a more-qualified person. Another pearl Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PearlHowardman Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Ask any non SU graduate here in Syracuse - they'll say the same thing. Russ Brandon was in the MARKETING of the Buffalo Bills. He's from here in Syracuse. Doug Marrone was never that good of a football coach. Having said that, I'm glad that the Bills selected Marrone, simply because of the Syracuse relationship. I've been biching for years for the Bills to select SU football players. Now we have the SU coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
