Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Shouldn't it be "climb"? You hop into ponds, hop onto trams...climb trees, or maybe grab a limb? Personally I think steel is a good way to cut down trees....here's wishing the Stillers a great blade to saw off that tree Edited January 13, 2018 by Hapless Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but Schwartz used fast linebackers even before pairing with Marrone. You can't give Marrone credit for that It's true. But I think it's also relevant that Marrone's year at Cortland State in 1992 as tight ends coach was the first year Schwartz was given a lot of control at NC Central as LB coach...prior to that he had only served as a graduate assistant. IMO that's the genesis of Marrone's influence (and the first branch if you will of his coaching tree) on Schwartz's defensive philosophies: his one year coaching D3 tight ends.

I see you have likewise dug into Marrone’s history. Thanks. Nice to see someone who understands the widespread influence of Marrone’s coaching philosophy.

I'm aware, I just disagree that that was where the philosophy started. Difference in opinion, carry on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Geez Fergy... this must be your least subtle attempt at a sarcasm/joke/troll thread yet (that I've seen anyway). I think you're getting a little lazy dude. Yet there are still people that are somehow taking this thread seriously. So, props man.... credit where credit is due! lol Ill admit, I've fell for one or two of your threads in the past. But at least it was much more subtle than this one is, and I was much newer at the time. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough said. I’ll have some of what Marrone is serving. The tree is getting stronger. Watch it grow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You raise a valid point. Guys here think a coaching tree can only be a massive, towering oak. The Marrone Coaching tree is similar to a banyon tree...not really tall or well known, but the roots run far and is considered one of the strongest rooted trees in the world (elephants were typically chained to a banyon tree to train them for work). Marrone’s banyon coaching tree reaches far and many have trained under his canopy. The funny thing is...his tree is still growing. Hackett is one of those branches and I see no reason to overlook him as an OC candidate (what tree did Bevell, Chud or McCoy come from?? Some rotted old recycled barn wood) Edited January 13, 2018 by BringBackFergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some coaches just earn their stripes. Rob Chud is one of the best offensive coordinators in the game and highly regarded around the league. I wouldn't be trashing his name too much. He even took a cleveland offense to incredible heights in one year as head coach there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, your failure to acknowledge Marrone’s tree (given his 9-7 season here and his continued playoff success with Jags) is an obvious slap. Beware.

MAJBobby Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 17 hours ago, BringBackFergy said: I guess you don’t understand simple plant/tree/vine grafting. Look it up. You take an existing branch/stem, root it in water, allow it to grow like your grandma did with geraniums in her front window, then plant it with older/mature plants and a new crop grows with different genetic markers and attractive characteristics. You’re looking at this as if Bill Walsh’s coaching tree is a sum certain....wrong. Marrone’s coaching tree branches off with rooted plants, grafted vines and transplants that take off. Sean Payton was nothing more than a “throw at all costs” coach until he watched how Marrone operated an offense. Guess what Payton did? Went out and obtained two of the most efficient runners in the NFL. Tom Coughlin was a cast off...a pirrahna and suddenly found a home in Jax with who? Marrone. Guess what? Marrone called the shots on the field with guys like Nate Hackett overseeing the offense. Why would you laugh at taking a small sample of Marrone’s tree and letting it grow into a strong mainstay of our own for years to come. I’ll never understand why we can’t have the successes of other teams until I read some of these responses. Play it how you want.

That's not the way that works - at all. Not even a little bit. Coaches only get credit for guys they brought into the league or gave a first real chance to that stuck around for multiple years and learned their system.

CoachT Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I'm pretty sure OP is being sarcastic. But say what you want about Marrone and Hackett, but they have won with guys like EJ, Orton, Bottles, Tuel, and don't forget Thaddeus.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can one be sarcastic and still make the same argument you made. I guess you are being sarcastic? Or maybe, just maybe, Marrone really does have a coaching tree that others on here are unable to appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
