aristocrat Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 going from making 4 mil to making a couple hundred k has got to sting. Like rex said you only get a shot at head coach so many times...he blew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Fan in MD Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The schadenfreude would be so much better without the $4 million buyout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The schadenfreude would be so much better without the $4 million buyout. I kinda disagree. I feel better about making fun of the guy knowing he's not going to be starving. I think it'd be tougher (at least for me) if the guy was completely out of luck. But then again, it's not my $4 million, so I can feel that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I hope Marrone and his family can stretch that 4 mil a loooooong way. No other big paychecks coming his way. Ask yourself, what other team would want to hire a coach who left like that? OK, so he had a clause that LET him do it, but that didn't mean he NEEDED to do it. The clause was there in case the new ownership was difficult to work with, which clearly wasn't the case with the Pegulas. Ask yourself, what GM would want to hire a coach who blasted the Bills' FO on the way out of town? Ask yourself, what candidates for coordinator positions and other coaching assistants would want to pull up stakes and move somewhere to work for a guy who shafted his Bills coaches so badly?

And anyone who said its "just business" and anyone would do it - I think the not-so-subtle shots to the contrary by Fred, Pegula, Rex and various media say otherwise.

Fan in Chicago Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) http://jacksonville.com/opinion/blog/400642/hays-carlyon/2015-01-14/former-buffalo-bills-coach-doug-marrone-interviewing Maybe O-Line coach even....hooboy As I said after Marrone left - the NFL is a small club. You do not get ahead by acting as an uncaring and ungrateful idiot. I believe Doug got some BAD advice from his agent. May not be. The agent may not have foreseen the way Marrone would depart. That caused a backlash and stuff came out which, IMHO, would not have if he had departed cordially. My guess is that the agent is the one feeling angry.

Freddie's Dead Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Karma is indeed a female dog. Enjoy your $4M Maroon, as you join Mularkey and Wannstedt on the scrapheap of mediocre coaches who resign and never again return to prominence.

Captain Caveman Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 How's your beatification looking now, Doug? Getting paid 4 million dollars to not coach is kind of a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilist25 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 IMO Marrone did the Bills a favor. He likely got the Bills as far as he could get them. Also, his decision to play Orton over Manuel in the Pats game might have been the difference getting the Bills to 9-7 which holds some arbitrary significance over a record of 8-8. I wonder what quality of HC the Bills could find with a record of 8-8. I expect free agency will be easier as well. Marrone's contract under Wilson contained a release provision and from a business perspective Marrone was smart taking his money and looking for another position where he could build a team like he did with Syracuse and the Bills. Even if Marrone doesn't find a job this season he breaks even. Therefore, I hold no grudge against Marrone. I look forward to see what Ryan can do under the Pegulas - although I would have liked to see Schwartz stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 . Even if Marrone doesn't find a job this season he breaks even. Not necassarily, remember he was guaranteed $4M for 2016 as well. So unless he makes $8m over the next two years, he loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good riddance! Ha ha! I didn't mean he was doing it only for the Bills. It was a calculated decision. It's business. And he did do the Bills a favor by getting out of the way.

plenzmd1 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 My only guess here is like the coach from Syracuse said...he is already planning his next job when he signs on for the current one. Figures Bradley is as hot as it gets on the hot seat...and he would be next in line if/when Bradley gets let go middle of year...maybe after a severe beat down by the Bills in London Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) And anyone who said its "just business" and anyone would do it - I think the not-so-subtle shots to the contrary by Fred, Pegula, Rex and various media say otherwise. Because Doug allegedly slammed the org on his way out and went out classlessly. The subtle shots are hypocrisy for most of the guys. Maybe not Fred, because he's about as loyal as you can hope for, but the rest of them? Everyone wants loyalty on their own terms. You aren't very talented, but you gave your heart and blood for the team? "Cut him, he sucks!" It's fickle. At the end of the day, it's your family vs. your team. I know everything gets romanticized these days but it is a business. No one took shots at Byrd when he bounced for the cash.
