26CornerBlitz Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Buffalo tension boils over in shouting match for Marrone, Bills officials Tension between Bills coach Doug Marrone and the team's front office spilled over recently in a loud verbal altercation on the practice field between the head coach and several team officials, according to numerous sources with knowledge of the situation, punctuating what had been a tumultuous preseason for the franchise as it awaits word on new ownership. The incident began with Marrone, who sources said has had a strained relationship with director of player personnel Jim Monos from their time together in New Orleans, getting into a loud exchange with Monos in which the men were cursing at each other to the point where others noticed ("they were more or less MFing each other," is how one source put it). General manager Doug Whaley then intervened. The expletives continued and finally team president and acting owner Russ Brandon tried to defuse the situation by getting involved in an attempt to get all parties to "shut up," as one source put it. But that too escalated into more yelling and hollering, with Brandon and Marrone ultimately separated by their peers and Marrone, in earshot of players, making remarks along the lines of "go ahead and fire me," before order was restored and the team took the field for practice.

Dirtbag Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 "Sources said Marrone has referred to himself as 'Saint Doug' at times, referencing the fact that it takes two miracles to be canonized as a saint, and that he already pulled off one miracle by winning at Syracuse and alluding to the fact it would take another miracle to win in Buffalo." if true, this is great.

PlayoffsPlease Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 "The front office has also bristled at how certain players are being used, sources said, believing that tackle Cyrus Kouandjio, this year's second-round pick, warranted more of a long look this simmer, unhappy that emerging receiver Robert Woods was benched at times and also at odds over guard Kraig Urbik, who the personnel side believes is a quality guard (he just received a contract extension a few years back) but who Marrone has soured on (the team explored trades for Urbik before roster cuts, league sources said)." Marrone is right, you have to let your coach coach, or you fire him. Player personnel directors can't tell coaches who should play. BTW, I am generally not a Marrone fan, but he is right in this incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Seriously, this guy calls himself "Saint Doug?" That better not be true.

Bangarang Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 It reads like a bad soap opera. Yikes. Does this also mean that this was another incident between Marrone and company? I know there was one on the field a week or two ago but this made it sound like this occurred behind closed doors before practice even started.

May Day 10 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Who knows what is going on. I think they werent allowing coaches to have a lot of say, which is why they have had trouble getting anyone but undesirable patsies. I wonder if they baited and switched Marrone a bit. I keep thinking back to those reports that the football staff was unhappy with management for the training staff and such. Marrone does seem to have thin skin though and I wouldnt doubt he feels a ton of pressure and he is in over his head. Really though, more indication that Pegula must use napalm.
