thewildrabbit Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'd like to add my two cents. While I didn't mind Marrone staying despite the fact that he is the supposed offensive background, and the team was top ten worst the last two years on offense. I feel It was Schwartz, and Orton that bailed him out this year. Hopefully the Bills find better assistants then Nathaniel Hackett, and that crappy O line coach.

8-8 Forever? Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 New Ownership baby. I respect Pegs for wanting his own people. You don't spend $1Bil and not put your own people in charge. All good. I am fired up. Stable, deep pocket ownership . Promising team. Many will be interested. Love it. Go Bills. A new era has dawned, after 20 years of crap. Love it.

dave mcbride Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 That's my dream scenario. Git er done Doug. Amazing that marrone has a double dip option now. that's one bad contract the bills gave him. Maybe those brandon to the raiders rumors are true.

hondo in seattle Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Previously I said that Buffalo might not be attractive to HC candidates because we lack a proven QB. But I've changed my mind. We're the only winning team to have a HC opening. That's gotta mean something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section122 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Those of you screaming for Reich do not know what you are asking for. A worse offense with a much better qb. What has he done that says hc to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedboy7 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Wait to see how the folks who wanted him and many others out of this organization are going to handle a few more losing years. Fools gold. This is a big blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 @BuckyBrooks: So, Doug Marrone abandons his team and pockets $4M.. I'm sure he will stand in front of his "new" team and preach sacrifice & togetherness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Let's not overlook the fact that Marrone was able to pocket $4 million from the Bills for next year AND get paid from another job without having it offset the $4 million...not too many opportunities in life to take a free $4 million dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I would want to know who the guy is that is brought in to run the offense, but I would have no problem if Schwartz is the guy and there is a top OC. It could even be Reich that they bring in to be Associate HC. I hope we do better than Schwartz, but he'd be fine with a top level OC. (Why do people keep thinking Reich will get a HC job?). I've been screaming for Gus Malzahn for a year so I will stick there. Give Schwartz a big raise to stay (he won't be happy if he doesn't get the job). Again, I hope they don't do this. The Bills are not rebuilding. Gus has ZERO NFL experience. That is a giant hurdle to overcome, IMO. Only Chip Kelly has managed to do it with any success (and I'm not entirely sold on him yet).. I have to ask, does Gus have a good network of coaches in the NFL? Would Schwartz even consider staying and working under a guy with his experience, or lack of? Maybe a good solution would be to bring in Gus in a Coordinator/Assistant HC capacity, with the understanding he has the inside track if/when Schwartz moves on. I think the Bills are poised to go to the next level next year, perhaps even without a top QB. I'd hate to screw that up by hiring a guy who might be in over his head. I'm all in with The Chin, though. Cowher would be an epic hire, and now the job might even be interesting to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 The silver lining is that Hackett has zero chance of surviving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
