Green Lightning Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Sorry, but why would he have been 'in line' for a lucrative extension? They went 9-7 and the offense never improved. It wouldn't surprise me if they extended him for as least as long as his assistants were under contract. It would not surprise me at all if the idea that some changes in assistant coaches wasn't broached. DM is a pouter and now has a history of bailing on jobs once he has a modicum of success. In this case, he should give half of the $4 mil he is stealing to Jim Schwartz. We would have been 4 & 12 without Schwartz's D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Too bad they just didn't let him go to Cleveland. We could've picked up Pettine as our HC and Marrone could've been out of the NFL by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbalaya Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Let's just hope Hackett follows him very quickly. I like the idea of Frank Reich as HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 It has to be that Marrone's agent is getting to the national guys. I don't know how else there could be such a dichotomy in the reporting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niagara Dude Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 His agent at work again, if this were true he would have signed extension.This is such BS reporting and in two years this loser will be out of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 @RapSheet: @RQUINN619 @ByTimGraham he would have received a raise and extension, no question @RapSheet: Doug Marrone would have received a big-$ contract extension from #Bills. No question. It was the uncertainty of a football czar that got him Maybe he saw Russ Brandon could no longer protect him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrod's Tailor Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 It has to be that Marrone's agent is getting to the national guys. I don't know how else there could be such a dichotomy in the reporting This. The national media's sources are almost exclusively agents. Jimmy Sexton, Marrone's agent, reps Schefter, among other top reporters. The conflicts of interest here are mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Marrone knows public sentiment will be that he's a douche for leaving an up-and-coming team with a new rich owner. He was simply power hungry and lost. This nonsense about a "lucrative extension in the works" is pure posturing by his PR people (i.e., agent). Screw him.

LabattBlue Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I have to say when I have heard Pegula speak I don't get the impression he is a savvy sports owner. He needs someone like Polian around because he doesn't have a firm grasp on the NFL. Just because Pegula isn't a polished public speaker doesn't mean he isn't a savvy owner. Don't mistake one for the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 This. The national media's sources are almost exclusively agents. Jimmy Sexton, Marrone's agent, reps Schefter, among other top reporters. The conflicts of interest here are mind boggling. And you can take it a step further. I don't mean to sound like a conspiracy nut, but in today's sports media culture, everyone looks to a handful of sources for breaking news. If you can gain control over that handful of sources, you gain control over the public's perception of things. This is a major problem confronting US society in general now. All our news comes from about 6 sources which own all media outlets. It's not good. The opportunity for corruption is prolific. Who the heck knows; maybe it is common for Schefter and guys like this to get $100,000 for every "sources tells me X" statement they make when someone really needs a certain perception to get out there. Makes all the sense in the world to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 So Tim Graham reported that he asked for an extension and was denied. NFL.com said he was in line for one and still chose to leave. What is the real story? Why is the national media so polar opposite in its portrayal of this story than the local media? http://www.nfl.com/n...ign=Twitter_atn Now this? GTFO! @ProFootballTalk: Bills needed opt-out clause to persuade Marrone not to choose Cleveland in 2013 http://t.co/zqhBgD4l1p I would like to know how Ian Rapoport knows "Doug Marrone would have received a big-$ contract extension from #Bills. No question." If it's true that "It was the uncertainty of a football czar that got him", why would that uncertainty bother him? Maybe because said czar would not sign off on his extension, in other words it was not certain? I think Rapoport knows not whereof he speaks or else his source is St Doug himself or his agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 As someone posted a short while ago, I'd LMAO if he ended up with no NFL HC gig in 2015. Or if he got a HC gig and didn't hire Hackett as the OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Marrone knows public sentiment will be that he's a douche for leaving an up-and-coming team with a new rich owner. He was simply power hungry and lost. This nonsense about a "lucrative extension in the works" is pure posturing by his PR people (i.e., agent). Screw him. It doesn't even make any sense. He gets a lucrative extension from the owner and then a new guy walks in a month later and fires him? Or tells him to get rid of his assistants? Why would Pegulas give in a big raise and extension if they didn't like his assistants. Or talk it over with the new guy? That's ridiculous.

Ted William's frozen head Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Sorry, but why would he have been 'in line' for a lucrative extension? They went 9-7 and the offense never improved. If Marrone,and Hackett came back next year, a lot of fans would be 'going Elvis' watching the Bills offense on TV, if you catch my drift...

Peter Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Why would Marrone be afraid of Polian (who has complimented him)? Sounds like agent spin to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Could it be as simple as he saw an opportunity to basically "Hit the lottery" and pocket a free $4 million and still have a pretty good sense he would have a job waiting for him elsewhere? Not too many times you can get $4 million for free in your lifetime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
