I think there's sufficient evidence at this point that Marrone is a good NFL head coach. He has a much stronger personality then Bradley did so I think that helps a lot as unpleasant as he may be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marrone's ego is SO big, he's arrogant, and he's often in your face. Now, all those things may serve him well as a head coach, but they don't make the guy very likeable.

Marrone wanted extensions and raises for his his entire staff and was denied. That doesn’t rise to forcing him out the door. He thought he had the Jest job locked up, made a power play he knew wouldn’t work, and left. Nobody forced him out as you suggest by saying they didn’t do anything to keep him. And he screwed his staff in the process, not to mention his players. They didnt force him out, but if new ownership isn't willing to invest in you and your staff, and you have a dumbass for a GM, why would you stay?

That’s it. I am still not seeing how he some great coach. His offense— which is his forte— is on the same level as the Bills. How many games did Gus Bradley win with his built team?

Steptide Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 He was a pompous d-bag his second year here. What I wish is that he stayed the way he was in his first year and didn't quit on his team. Oh and walk away with 4 million dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Doug definitely left on his own accord. He and Schwartz were doing fine but he still had no qb, new rookie owners, a GM that he did not like, and an incredulous “out with pay” in his contract. He thought he had the Jets job. Maybe he was not impressed with the Pegula’s? He he got lucky just to land in Jacksonville, and his Bills experience got him the interim HC job. He got lucky again when Coughlin showed up. Coughlin has his hands in all of th3 football operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He walked away-actually slithered out of town in a snake-like manner under the cover of darkness (on New Year's Eve no less). The guy thought he was gonna have the Jets' job handed to him on a silver platter. He wasn't sent packing by the Pegulas. He left of his own volition. He's a d-bag! Throw in the stupid things Miami does and you have an example of why the Patriots have been dominated the AFCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

napmaster Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Marrone had a three-day out clause in his contract in the event of an ownership change. So, he could stay and deal with EJ as his QB, Whaley as his GM, and earn $4M --OR-- he could leave, earn $4M, and likely get the Jets HC job and get paid another $5M. He would have been Doug Moron if he stayed. Blame Whaley for giving him such an asinine out-clause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
