Dennis in NC Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Ryan O'Halloran @ryanohalloran · 13m 13 minutes ago Marrone on being a head coach again: "My focus is on right here." Michael DiRocco @ESPNdirocco 7m7 minutes ago Marrone says the Jags lineman all finish plays. Encouraging. Also said it's rare to have everyone do that. Vito Stellino @vitostellino 8m8 minutes ago says young linemen all move well and finish...being able to finish is important to marrone. ...being able to finish is important to marrone. Obviously!

Freddie's Dead Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 My reaction to Maroon saying he wasn't expecting to be an HC in 2015 can best be summed up by John Blutarsky in the following clip (from :40 to 1:00): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikssfUhAlgg I went with the Delta Trial in Animal house, but the Black Knight also works well here. 'Tis but a scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) So he left an actual head coaching job for a CHANCE to be a head coach again at some point in the future? Sure thing, Doug. Pegs would have canned him after this year anyway, Marrone simply forced the inevitable at the time 5 or 6 jobs were available, and got $4m besides. I am good with it. IMO Marrone and his agent knew, with RW about to pass , that he was a dead man walking from day 1 on the job with the bills (thats why no top coach would touch the job) ,that's why they had to have golden parachute protection put in in the case where ownership changed. I think it worked out for both parties. Marrone got 2 yrs NFL HC experience in a HC job he would not have gotten otherwise (and is set financially for life), the Bills got a reasonably competent HC in place on a bad team with no QB and a complete housecleaning one stopped heartbeat away; a job having absolutely no job security even if he improved the team. I think all parties pretty much got all they were going to get under the circumstances, other than the fans, who wanted a top tier/rockstar coach they could brag about. Fans are so stupid; this actually worked out when you think through the realities of the situation prior to Ralph passing. Good job Doug, good smart career management; good job Bills, you finally have stable, wealthy long term ownership willing to spend to get the best talent out there, and they now will come. All good people, shut the F up and get the popcorn ready. Finally we can move forward. And good job/RIP Ralph, miraculously, you and yours found a way to lock down one of only 32 NFL franchises, and a perennial loser, in the tiniest of markets that the NFL owners probably believes they could do without. Good jobs all around. Go Bills. Edited February 6, 2015 by 8and8Forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Sounds ridiculous but not sure what anyone would expect him to say.... "So...ummm... Obviously I'm a quitting quiter and failed at getting a head coach job like I obviously planned. The only thing that sucks worse than my last month is the talent level on this jags line" Edited February 6, 2015 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that sucks worse than my last month is the talent level on this jags line" He's definitely between a rock and a hard place. He's lying to everyone about how he didn't expect to have another HC job, so he has to soft sell the opt out as a "family decision." It's ridiculous to say how "outstanding" everything was in Buffalo and how the Pegulas will be "outstanding" owners...makes no sense. He's just an idiot.

mannc Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 does this mean i don't get to post my favorite pic anymore? It means no such thing. That picture never gets old.Sounds ridiculous but not sure what anyone would expect him to say....The truth would work better: "Look, obviously I miscalculated, and now I am going to work hard to get another chance to be a head coach somewhere. I am grateful for this opportunity." Instead, he continues with his charade of "this is just what I had in mind." He fools no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Doug Marrone spoke with reporters today in Jacksonville -- his first public comments since leaving Buffalo. Ryan O'Halloran @ryanohalloran 4m4 minutes ago Marrone said he didn't expect to get another head-coaching job right away. "You can't do that in this profession." Don't believe him. Woody "we're interested", Schefter's tweets.... Cat Logic, you know, where the cat backs off the table awkwardly, lands and stalks off with an expression like "I meant to do that!"

T master Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Only very few Bills HC's have earned a second chance at being a HC in the NFL & Marrone wasn't one of them by what he did with his time here !! Maybe if he wouldn't have been a gold digger & continued the climb upwards with this team (if he could have) maybe he would have warranted another shot some where else but not with a 15 - 17 record !! Good luck Maroon !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
