Kelly the Dog Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Interesting that Polian was calling for Maronne to be considered for coach of the year a month ago and he doesn't advise Pegula to give him more money. That statement was said during the afterglow of the Packer game. I'm positive all thoughts of Coach of the Year votes went out the window with the Raider loss. Furthermore, I don't know this is what he meant for sure, but I would bet on it any amount of money. He didn't really mean that he thought Marrone should win Coach of the Year, he said he "should get a few votes." A lot of guys throw votes in for awards like that to acknowledge the great job someone did, knowing another guy is going to win the award. There is no chance in hell that he thinks Marrone did a better job than, say, Bruce Arians or even Jason Garrett. But most years you see a guy get 20+, and run away with it, and then 3-4 other guys get a couple or a few. That's what he meant. Otherwise he wouldn't have said get a few votes.

Not at the table Karlos Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Can't quote for whatever reason but Bill Polian brings his son along almost anywhere he goes.

purple haze Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) This smells like the Marv Levy gm hire. Bad idea. It''s a new game and a new day. I fear the planets and Pegulas are in retrograde. New game and new day doesn't mean the man doesn't know what makes a good football player. It doesn't mean he doesn't know what the league is now. He hasn't been out on a farm somewhere. He's been analyzing the NFL for ESPN since he retired. It's his business to know the league and its operations. He'll be fine. He's built everywhere he's gone. He's the Harbaugh of GM's. Buffalo, Carolina and Indianapolis all got much better under his watch; and fairly quickly at that.

Feel free to bust a nut in your trousers over the past, but I'm going to remain skeptical of nostalgia hires. As good as Polian was in some areas, he failed to address major areas in each of his stops. The net result of all his dynasty building was the Colts winning the bowl with the gift of a Rex Grossman handicap. The key is to find the next Polian analog on the ascent, not the retread.
