Another Fan Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I had this discussion last night about people and management styles. I've encountered all kinds. So I was curious if people would in general prefer a more laid back manager like Rex? Although things will probably eventually hit the fan and he may not have your back. I think McDermott is the best out of all of them but that discussion kinda raised my curiosity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbillsfan2206 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Marrone is a good coach and he was on to something in Buffalo. That being said, he’s a piece of **** and hope Jacksonville takes a nose dive next year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 All depends on the players. Some would respond better to a Marrone and some would be a better Rex fit. At the end of the day I am super happy we have McDermott for this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Marrone, without question. I'd rather have a disciplinarian than a coach who is trying to be buddy buddy with his players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maine-iac Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Marrone reminds me a lot of Caughlin and Rex reminds me of Glanville if people remember him. I think Marrone will be more consistent and probably over his career successful. Rex had his flash of stardom. He's lucky he had the co-ordinators he did and the talent. Either people caught up to his defense or he isn't that good of a coach but his run of success slid off the rails and I'm of the idea you'll never see it again.

JMF2006 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 My boss at work lets you do your job. When you stop doing your job properly he lets you know. I hate micro managers and managers that don't hold people accountable. So my boss is perfect for me. As for the football side. Marrone = Micro Manager Wrex = Unaccountable McD = looks like the real deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark80 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I would rather have a manager like Rex. But one like Marone would get more out of me, if that makes sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Marrone. An !@#$ who shoots straight will always be better than an !@#$ who just shoots off at the mouth. I can deal with the flying bullets when they're true. Thee lipservice not so much. !@#$ Rex Ryan, that belligerent blowhard douche. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 It’s a great question. I’ve always responded better to positive reinforcement and autonomy. I guess for me a Rex personality would be a better fit. In football I think both personalities can win if they are good coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I can't say I'd be crazy about either one, but if those are my only choices, then I'd prefer to work for Marrone. Rex is all talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baskingridgebillsfan Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 for both it would depend on their number two. Rex would be a great manager if he had a strong focused person working with him /under him/. Marrone needs a guy like Rex to help him relate to the customers and or employees. all in all in the real world Rex would get more done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess for me a Rex personality would be a better fit. In football I think both personalities can win if they are good coaches. In a setting which is small and the work product revolves around creativity Rex would represent the better style. If the business was a prison for LA gang members who were there for life the Marrone method of management would work well. His preference for rote discipline and an oppressive inflexibility is an environment he would be comfortable in. The problem with a coach like Marrone, who did a very good job in Buffalo, is that there is a shelf life to him and his rigidity. Marrone is an acolyte of Bill Parcells. That era of stern leadership where the coach screws with people to draw out their best doesn't work with this era of players who individually are working on their own personal brand. Another issue with Marrone is how would he work in an organizational structure where he doesn't have the full authority. Conflicts are inevitable in all organizations. But when they are lingering and become personal challenges then they become poisonous. In Jacksonville it is a good situation because he is working under an old time hard arse Irishman who would kick him in the nuts and throw him out of the door if he acted out as he has a tendency to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I would take any coach other than the one who walked out on my team for greener pastures after talk about the team as a family, just looking at him makes me ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
