KOKBILLS Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I honestly have no preference between Marrone and Rex as Head Coaches...I dislike them equally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I didn't really hate Marrone - I hated Nate Hackett, and was so glad when they were both leaving. If Marrone and Schwartz had stayed and Marrone fired Hackett, I think we'd be better off right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Jerky Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I was wondering, do you guys think if he had stayed your playoff streak would have been broken last year? He had the team going in the right direction just had a terrible O. Nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 My recollection is that Orton hadnt made a decision, then he had some sort of sidebar with Marone and ran into the locker room and cleared out his locker then announced he was retiring. Marone may not have announced yet but it appeared he had told Orton and Orton bailed. That may be speculation but it makes perfect sense. Orton would not want to have to battle it out in the preseason with EJ again. He had a good thing going with Marone/Hackett but with a new coach maybe not so much. Take the money and run. Although I guess it could have gone the other way too, as you suggest. Hadnt considered that angle. My clear recollectionis that orton told marrone he was retiring before the season even ended.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I was wondering, do you guys think if he had stayed your playoff streak would have been broken last year? He had the team going in the right direction just had a terrible O. The problem is that his specialty was the side that was failing. I believe the team would have seen more success if Marrone would have released his grip on the O and focused more on HC/Managerial duties. Unfortunately, he tried to make power plays for more control instead. I didn't really hate Marrone - I hated Nate Hackett, and was so glad when they were both leaving. If Marrone and Schwartz had stayed and Marrone fired Hackett, I think we'd be better off right now. I seem to remember several reports surfacing about how Marrone essentially handcuffed Hackett's playcalling. To have been a fly on the wall in those rooms...

Talley56 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Maybe not but we might be better off right now. Schwartz would most likely still be running the defense (unless someone would have hired him as a HC) therefore the defense would still be good and even if Marrone would have been fired after last season perhaps Rex gets hired by someone else after the 2014 season leaving us to hire an offensive minded HC like we should have done in the first place (Hue Jacskson maybe) and I think that would have put us in a better place.

Nick the Greek Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I feel like Marrone sensed something bad with Pegula... Like he wasn't gonna last too long with the new ownership group cuz the fans thought he was an ass. Pegs wanted a coach popular with the fans, like Rex! Pegs didn't want a guy who was showing improvement season over season like Marrone had done. Pegs didn't want a guy who had the know how to hire top talent like Schwartz. Let's keep it in the family and hire a an unemployed wart like Rob Ryan who's failed in NO and Dallas. Let's hire a guy who takes a top 5 D and completely WRECKS IT. And to think.. The fans didn't like Marrone because he was a disciplinarian. At least we got Rex because he has PERSONALITY!! Say it Marrone haters, say it because things were WAY better with Dougie.

His team had the 2nd most penalties in the league and multiple suspensions. He just liked to act like a tough guy but just came off fake.

I didn't like him (he isn't very likeable) but I preferred him to Rex and I think he had a clearer vision of what he needed to make this team win.

ALF Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Marrone either quit on his own or was asked to. So far I hate a complex D or O . The limited CBA for off season training and conditioning makes that unrealistic. Chan's system as OC and Schwartz as DC seems the way to go. JMO Dareus , Shaq and Ragland should have made this D a lot better. A healthy Glenn , Henderson , Watkins and Karlos should have made the O better . Looking forward to next season , at least the Bills are staying here. Less stress to watch this season unfold , it is what it is . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLEN1QB Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 being the Bills they probably would suck in a completely different wayLol well said. Agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the team going in the right direction just had a terrible O. The issue was he did not have a QB. Kyle Orton was done and Maronne did not trust EJ. Hence he would had to reboot the offense again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I didn't really hate Marrone - I hated Nate Hackett, and was so glad when they were both leaving. If Marrone and Schwartz had stayed and Marrone fired Hackett, I think we'd be better off right now. Not that it would ever have happened. But having Chan back as the OC would have been interesting.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 The issue was he did not have a QB. Kyle Orton was done and Maronne did not trust EJ. Hence he would had to reboot the offense again. The same methods employed the following years could have been used with him - bring in the best vet FA available, look for a 2nd tier FA who might have promise, draft. I think the big problem was that the OL as Marrone tried to coach it was broken and he had no idea how to fix it, since the players he required for the job (fast agile big lurching behemoths) may not exist outside his coaches' manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like him (he isn't very likeable) but I preferred him to Rex and I think he had a clearer vision of what he needed to make this team win.he was only here two years but there is 3 years of complaining about him on TSW.
