Simon Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 If he just arrived from forming a Quaker militia in the Norhteast for the Continental Army, I'll be glad to call him Nathaniel. Otherwise, are we allowed to call him Nate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RkFast Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I am shocked people are so accepting of this hire. A 33 year old kid with a few years as a low level assistant in the NFL and TWO years in college is going to go up against a Bill Belichick and Rex Ryan defenses with either Fitz or a project rookie QB and succeed? ON WHAT !@#$ING PLANET??!!!!??? Edited January 9, 2013 by RkFast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I am shocked people are so accepting of this hire. I don't think very many are accepting. Stunned, maybe. He's younger than I am, by 8 months. That shocks me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 There's some interesting information about Marrone's relationship to Hackett in regards to running the offense at Syracuse, here: http://www.buffalobi...dinator-search/ The thing that hit me the most: "The amazing thing to consider about Marrone is how he was willing to change both the offensive and defensive systems basically in season. That shows a coach who is open minded and willing to listen to the advice of staff. Finding coordinators who he trust but who also bring the same kind of open mindedness is more important than finding a coach who is married to any one system" This was one of the major downfall of Chan Gailey. He refused to experiment. When Fitz is was struggling, he was stubborn and adamant that Fitz gave him the best chance to win. He did not give Jackson a chance. Flexibility is the key in today's NFL and unfortunately Chan did not have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Nathaniel Hacket kept firing at the Red Coats 'til his musket finally jammed. He thereupon made a final charge with 'is bayonet and slashed four score of 'em until he was blasted by a cannon. He bled out on the side o' the hill that they thereupon named for him.

BRAWNDO Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Brent Axe @BrentAxeMedia Hackett's offense set all kinds of records at Syracuse this season. One of the most prolific in the history of SU. And it was fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkKelso'sHelmet Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Marrone is a bald faced liar. Thorough NFL experience.... so it begins... I honestly think this guy seems like a liar, a phony, and a complete A-hole. That whole "I'm NY guy" angle is practiced and stupid and phony. It was a way around answering any questions -- and he didn't really answer any questions -- the ones he did answer are turning out to be lies. That's not to say that having a jerk as a coach is a bad thing. Belichick is the biggest jerk on the planet. Still, as one other poster said, this is either turning out to be a ballsy head coach -- or something is going terribly wrong. With Buffalo's track record, forgive me if I think it's the latter. we might be on the way to 0-16 here. Did anyone consider that?

Dr. Trooth Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Syracuse News at 6 pm said Schafer is Cuse new HC and that Hackett was staying on as OC.... the sports dude even said that the newly recruited QB Zach ??? from Texas had calls form K State and another school after Marrone bolted to the Bills and declined because Hackett called him said he was staying on with the Cuse.
