Fingon Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Marrone is competing with Hackett for the job: http://jacksonville.com/opinion/blog/544821/ryan-ohalloran/2015-01-16/jaguars-interview-former-buffalo-assistant-nathaniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 All true, except the part that Marrone is laughing. A guy with that sort of ego isn't happy knowing he won't sniff another HC gig and is viewed with such disdain. He can always give Adam Schein a call to boost his self-esteem, though. I agree. He has some money, but little else. Marrone is competing with Hackett for the job: http://jacksonville.com/opinion/blog/544821/ryan-ohalloran/2015-01-16/jaguars-interview-former-buffalo-assistant-nathaniel Wow. I wonder if Hackett will tell them how Saint Doug held him back etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I understand the vitriol directed at Marrone by this board, and it IS mildly amusing that either he, or his agent, shanked this decision. But trust me, he's the one laughing. He's sitting on the VAST majority of last year's $4 million (let's say he still has $3 million in the bank), plus next year's $4 million, or $7 million in the Bank of Doug. Think about it. If he's able to simply pull 6% out of the market, he's going to be collecting $420,000 annually for the rest of his life without ever touching the principal. When he dies, his kids become millionaires. He's changed the destiny of his bloodline for generations; very likely forever. Not a bad gig for a mediocre journeyman low draft-pick offensive lineman. Other way to look at it is this... His tax bracket at close to 50%..(have to admit not sure if paid on w-2 or 1099..but assuming w-2) So he down to $4 M total. Let's say he does not get another job. $4M is good money, but not exactly wealthy by any stretch...and 6% with little risk is asking a ton right now. Now lets say he stays and gets in playoffs(i don't think this would have happened, but he would)...$4m next year, prolly$ 20M extension for 4 years after that season. Thats going from $4M in the bank, to $14M.. $10M blunder going to hurt that guy. Plus he wants to coach.

DC Tom Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Bottom line: that which begins, ends. Everything has an ending. Endings are natural. So there's no sense being bitter or disappointed or an !@#$ about endings. It's how you choose to end something is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 He would run your team into the ground. Up the middle for 2 yards doesn't work too well in flag football. You're right. Screw it... Is Gailey available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 If the Jags are smart, they will make the same choice that Sean Payton made: do not let Saint Doug call any plays. If they are smarter, they will not let him anywhere near Bortles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other question i have for you is what makes you think Marrone can make good financial decisions? It is looking more and more like he made a huge blunder by leaving the Bills. He made numerous poor decisions while a HC. Just saying i doubt Marrone has 'changed the destiny of his bloodlines for generations'. Marrone strikes me as the kind of guy to tell you how to do your job. He will be telling his Charles Scwabb planner to put it all on icebergs being converted to drinking water in the middle east.

Math like that reminds me of this scene from The Simpsons: Nelson: Hey, look how much Skinner makes--$25,000 a year! (the kids are impressed) Bart: (typing into a calculator) Let's see, he's 40 years old, times $25 grand...whoa, he's a millionaire! Children: Wow! Principal Skinner: I wasn't a principal when I was one! Nelson: Plus, in the summer he paints houses. Milhouse: He's a billionaire! Children: Wow! Principal Skinner: If I were a billionaire, why would I be living with my mother? (the kids laugh) They don't seem to listen to logic anymore.

ExWNYer Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I am stunned that he hasn't found anything yet, but on the bright side, at least it looks like he will be free this fall for when his name is put up on the Wall at the Ralph. Maybe Rex will hire him. After all, Marrone is a bully. BTW, can we officially change his moniker from 'Saint Doug' to 'Taint Doug'? It works twofold...he is now tainted and, well, he is definitely a big "taint". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much that is, but I'm sure it ain't cheap. Also, the previous poster assuming a 6% return is great but the market is not exactly a sure thing these days. He is not going to be a pauper, but he is not necessarily set for life yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E, they are most likely smarter than Dougie...and will say nothing and say positive things about him to other HC's looking to hire them. They have to see what is happening to him both professionally and in the court of public opinion, my gut says they leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Man Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Marrone is now interviewing for the Denver Broncos head coaching position on Saturday. I can't imagine he's going to best other candidates like Gary Kubiak, Alan Gase, or Dan Quinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
