The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 That fight him and Russ got into in the beginning of the year. He yelled "Just go ahead and fire me!" or something along those lines. Has he been planning to leave since draft day, or am I looking too far into it?

TheFunPolice Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I think he carried himself like he was Parcells or Belichick He was going to do things his way and they were going to like it. On some level I respect that, but I don't respect treating subordinates like crap and generally acting like a big baby when the press criticizes him.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Once you win a Pinstripe Bowl, you should command complete respect. Two-Time Pinstripe Bowl Champion. Plus, he went 25-25 there. It's hard to win in the Big East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 if he was certain he was out he wouldnt have waited 3 days to announce it imo. sure, he may have been considering it for awhile, but if he was deadset on leaving he wouldve been gone monday.

He sounded like he was going to stay at the season ending conference, but with Orton quitting and not getting the things he wanted in his "power play" I think he waited till the end.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) He started seriously putting together his exit strategy and planning to move on from the Bills on the afternoon of January, 6, 2013.

I have no way to prove this, but I think he's been planning this power play thing since Pegula and his dog and the rest of his family came out onto the Ralph field wearing Bills #1 jerseys (before the Patsies home game in October).

KDIGGZ Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 i heard Marrone opted out of his contract in order to be enshrined in Canton. he didn't opt out until the 3rd day because they needed time to finish his bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike in Horseheads Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 It was right in front of us when he played Orton (who he didn't want) instead of EJ (who he didn't want) because it gave HIM the best chance to win in that last no impact game against NE. Then he could say the Bills were 9-7 and HE beat The Patriots. Smart jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUNCH OF MULARKEY Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The day it was reported Rex was cleaning out his desk. I can picture the look on St. Dougs face when he finds the pile of Payless flyers in the bottom drawer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I actually don't think he planned it. I think he was annoyed he didn't get the respect he felt he deserved and decided to pull his power play. When it backfired, he had probably backed himself into a corner. (Something like Whaley or me) His only play at that point was to opt out while his stock was relatively high and hope to get another job That said...
