Estelle Getty Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 I must say i am suprised only about 25% of the replies seem to agree with my op. The biggest argument i see is that Marrone had a better staff around him. I guess if you don't take into account OC or Special Teams coach. But isn't part of the head coaches job to find assiastants worth a damn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Marrone would've been against all of the big aquisitions - Clay, Shady, Ritchie - because they would've deprived him of excuses for losing. St. Doug needs a bad roster so that only he can save it. Good riddance. Rex may be an idiot but at least he's likeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA Grant Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Even with a talented roster, it takes time for a new coaching staff to get settled in. You can see the relationship between scheme and players improve over the course of the year although its in fits and starts — defense last week against NE, offense this week, at least in the first half. Maybe if there were more coaching consistency the team wouldn't have had as many mistakes but you only make it worse by changing course again now. We'll see how this year ends up but I think Rex will be here a lot longer than Marrone was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Wasn't a fan of Marrone. Rex is 5-6, 5-4 sans EJ. Give Rex Tyrod and we are 6-5 & it's a whole different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane nelson Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Doug Marrone .469 Perry Fewell .428 Chan Gailey .333 Rex Ryan .454 Dick Jauron .421 Mike Mularkey .438 Gregg Williams .354 What a record of losers. The Bills always hire terrible coaches. Until they get this right we can expect the same. Its to the point I can hardly watch the games. When we win I have lost my passion to keep me pumped all week and when we lose its expected. The play calling, execution and mental mistakes by coaches and players alike is mindbogglingly.

Yeah, the "I'm gonna take accountability here, the stadium/insert excuse here was the problem" is very endearing. So is the childish tantrum thrown when the media asks you questions about the Pats, when all you do all year is mention the Pats. Just so likeable.

prissythecat Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 After the injury in Cleveland, Maroon coached EJ not to take chances and not to make mistakes. He almost never ran the ball after that, and was playing scared. EJ regressed badly under Maroon and then Maroon bailed on him rather than coaching him up. EJ's primary cause of failure at the QB position is his inaccuracy . That is not something that Marrone taught him or told him to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonprophet Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Lest we forget Maroon's first challenge in the NFL. He actually challenged a play where the Patriots fumbled the ball and recovered it. What he was challenging we will never know. His offense sucked, he failed in the biggest game of the year against the Raiders, and he destroyed any chance for EJ to become a viable QB. Saying he's better than Ryan is like saying Forrest Gump is better than Porky Pig. And how about this: the starting QB is a rookie, backed up by a practice squad pickup and another rookie and he opts not to hire a dedicated QB coach.

reddogblitz Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Marrone would've been against all of the big aquisitions - Clay, Shady, I've read this on here several times. Coach Marrone wouldn't want McCoy. How do you figure? Marrone was a run/ground and pound guy. Seems that kind of guy would want one of the best RBs in the NFL. No? Besides, Whaley handled the 53 and Marrone the 43 or however many guys are active on game day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 How exactly did Marrone destroy EJ's chances? Am pretty sure EJ's failings are his own. Well the door was open to this possibility, the London game pretty much debunked this notion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just go by Bills record. That's all I care about. I'm sure Mularkey's career percentage is probably lower as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
