I wouldn't hire Mularkey or Rex Ryan. But they're obviously good interviews, absolutely glossing over their mediocre records. Marrone has less of a problem because he was a successful college coach who only coached one season in the NFL; and that was for the Bills.

Marrone was a mediocre college coach and a mediocre pro coach as well. He fits the paradigm that the Titans seem to be going after. Why that is the paradigm is the question that Titans supporters have to be wrestling with.

 

Rex, all in all, at this point, is a mediocre head coach. However, until this year he has a history of elite skill and high end results in the area of defensive game planning. He also has had two of his teams in the playoffs, on the cusp of the Super Bowl, and he is entertaining along the way to boot. Marrone has none of that on his resume. He is not seen as a great offensive/defensive/special teams mind or even an elite offensive line coach. And he's a quitter who doesn't appear to get along with or treat people correctly.

 

He has had a lot of interviews, but he has not gotten another gig. Agents and media shills can only do so much. Don't think these GM's, owners, execs don't put in calls to their contacts at One Bills Drive and Syracuse to get their takes on Marrone's time in those places. I heard Adam Caplan say that Marrone opted out because of uncertain ownership. He failed to mention that the Pegula's had already taken over the team and the team's future was set in Buffalo almost three months before Marrone quit. Who does that when the supply of head jobs are so infinitesimal?

Smh. What the hell??? Marrone....brush up on your interviewing skills. Stop saying "I" and substitute in the word "we". Poor Douggie.

and he should probably stop bragging about how his best coaching decision was benching the 1st round QB in his second season when he was 2-2 instead of developing him in favor of a guy with one foot in AARP - might have been best for the team at the time but doubt the Titans want that happening again.

So all the position are now filled, and Dougie will spend another season on the unemployment line. You'd think after two years of being turned down, (two year total has to be near half the teams in the league) he'll look much harder next year at a college position as it seems his chances of getting back to the NFL based on a somewhat mediocre record and have on his resume the distinction of quitting are rather low. If he can succeed in college then the NFL may come calling.

i think he is best for for college anyway, and would be a good choice for a program like Bowling Green or some MAC school. Incidently Dino Babers just went from BG to Cuse. Or Purdue - if you win 6 games there you are a genius. Perfect fit. Edited by YoloinOhio

Marrone was the Jags offensive line coach last year and still is so he wasn't and still isn't on the unemployment line.

 

There have been 14 openings the last two years with Marrone interviewing for 7 or 8 so not even close to interviewing with half the league.

 

I do agree that he will end up looking to go back to college next year

Yup. Marrone's offense looks a lot like what Purdue runs, already.
