Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Marrone, as much of a maniac as he is, is actually a decent coach. I felt like we were fairly well coached while he was here and Jacksonville credits him as an asset where he is now. He works hard and is a smart football guy. Fair enough, right to your opinion, but can you explain the basis for your holding it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Teams interviewing Marrone for their HC'ing positions are merely fulfilling their Rooney Rule requirements. Little known sub-clause of the RR requires teams to interview at least one mentally disabled quitter, crybaby prior to making a hire. Nothing to see here. Now that's funny. The G-Men are known like the Steelers for not switching coaches quickly so first Coughlin could be ok if he wins tomorrow. Also, if you look at the flaws it is not so much the future HOF Coach, but the GM. Reese has wiffed so many times in the draft, it is not even funny. If they do let Coughlin retire with dignity, i could only see Payton first, and Smith second. They would never hire Maroon (in my humble opinion). Now Payton would be smart to hire Schwartz as a solid DC as he hasn't been able to get a solid defense since he had bounties on people's heads, oh that's right that was our old head coach, GW.

YoloinOhio Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yeah, more comments from Bills fans but hurt over not getting the satisfaction of seeing Marrone fired and instead dumping them. The only people in the league who don't think he is a decent coach are Bills fans, and right now there are many of them that think Rex Ryan just needs time to turn things around.......hahahaha just spit out my vodka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Then an important interview questions would be "Why should we believe you are responsible for the Jaguars improvement on offense and not Greg Olson?" Next question should be "Why didn't we see the same improvement in Buffalo with EJ Manuel?" Because EJ Manuel is EJ Manuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthymcnasty08 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Now that's funny. The G-Men are known like the Steelers for not switching coaches quickly so first Coughlin could be ok if he wins tomorrow. Also, if you look at the flaws it is not so much the future HOF Coach, but the GM. Reese has wiffed so many times in the draft, it is not even funny.

Now Payton would be smart to hire Schwartz as a solid DC as he hasn't been able to get a solid defense since he had bounties on people's heads, oh that's right that was our old head coach, GW. Payton has all the hallmarks of a Mara hire but it's very Big Blue to bring Coughlin back for the last year on his contract. What they gave him for a team this year was a joke - Reese has been horrible - particularly with LB's and the TE position. Throw in not having 2 of your elite go-to guys: the dumb moronic July 4th JPP incident and Cruz's recurring injury. If they go south next season again, the entire GM/Coaching staff get blown up. Nowhere does Saint Moron figure into anything they do there. Too classy and smart an organization to dip down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Marrone vs the NY media. Following a coach who won 2 SBs. Yeaaaaah..... At least he would finally be reunited with Nassib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 LaCanfora was proposing Marrone as a strong candidate to replace Payton in N'Orleans should Payton go elsewhere. I think Marrone has the BEST agent in all of sports. I'd like to see someone tweet something factual like "Congratulations to Saint Doug Marrone for achieving a league-mediocre 13th in rushing YPC, 12th in QB hits, and an astounding 26th in QB sacks with the Jacksonville Offensive Line. The Jags improved 7 entire places from 32nd in QB sacks last year to 26th this year and only dropped 6th places from 7th to 13th in YPC to compensate. Marronne is a better HC than an OL coach. He is interviewing for HC positions, not OL coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I think David Shaw would be an interesting hire and could make it in the NFL. David Shaw would be an interesting candidate if interested. However, what may not interest him is having to work and deal with your run of the mill NFL intellect after having had the experience of coaching intelligent, stay out of trouble Stanford athletes. But money could certainly change that perspective. What it frequently comes down to is comfort level, i.e. successful college coaches working in excellent environments and basically being pampered become comfortable with that and prefer to stay put rather than move to the uncertain netherworld of the NFL or NBA. But money can talk, as it did for Steve Spurrier, for better or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilarian Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Marronne is a better HC than an OL coach. He is interviewing for HC positions, not OL coach. I think the 2002-2005 NY Jets players would disagree and most notably RB Curtis Martin who had a career year running behind Marrone's line in NY. He sings St Doug's praises as do the linemen themselves. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/jets/post/_/id/48179/former-jets-star-kevin-mawae-gives-doug-marrone-a-thumbs-up Also, let's not forget that Marrone is from NYC. Gotta remember that a lot of NFL exec's like Polian look at Marrone as a young Bill Parcels type clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthymcnasty08 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 I would imagine he's on the B-list Payton is a great fit for them but they're doubtful to surrender a pick for any coach. Ben McAdoo (their current OC) would be the smart choice to maintain the offensive side of things. Cannot see Marrone jumping McAdoo or even a Hue Jackson. I just do not like the way that guy handled his departure here..it speaks to his character. I would have to think the brass at Big Blue are going to dive deep into why if they're remotely serious.

Manther Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 The only important thing is that the owner that hires Doug has some positive numbers to sell to the team's fan base. First coach to win in buffalo in a decade. Brought syracuse, a bottom 20 program before and after him, into the top 40. Brought jags from 32 to 10. Turned Bortles into a top 10 QB.His College and NFL HCing record is below .500. That should be exciting for his next miracle!!Marronne is a better HC than an OL coach. He is interviewing for HC positions, not OL coach.Based on what? His sub .500 record? Or, that he has never called a bad game as an OC...because he NEVER has?
