Scott7975 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I liked Marrone. I thought he was a good coach here and too many people dogged him. Hackett called a hell of a game too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Too early to tell. Both pretty good. My take with Marrone is he wanted total control, and his power play didn't work. So he took the out clause, and then found out he wasn't as popular in the marketplace as he thought. So with Jacksonville he swallowed his pride knowing Coughlin calls the shots, and focused on coaching he's doing pretty good. McD did a good job last year. This year he'll be challengedz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VADC Bills Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) We were never the laughing stock of the league with Marrone and he has arguably he best team in the league now. He took over a bad Jacksonville team now they are contending for a championship. As of now the answer is yes.

billsbackto81 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Oh for Gods sake! Give McD a chance to run that D with his knowledge on defense. Marrone is a good coach but he got handed 2 face cards showing and McD got pocket 4’s. If Marrone was so great why did he sit on a pile of crap waiting for a HC interview when he was available? Remember he had to settle for the O line coach position in Jax before he got the HC gig by default.

Skins Malone Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I always like Marrone. Thought he was a good coach. To me the biggest surprise has been NH. He has gotten alot out of Bortles..and today what a game. Didnt like his play calling here but he has turned it around imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeskillitMoorman Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Overall, I would definitely say Marrone. I thought his teams were more prepared, had better gameplans. What I was wrong about with Marrone, and what I didn't like about him is how conservative he is in the NFL. I'm a Syracuse football fan and I didn't feel like he was as conservative in college. But it reared it's ugly head with the Jags again last year, I think it contributed them to blowing that game to the Pats in the AFC Championship. The problem is...I don't think McDermott is as good of a coach...and he's even more conservative. I always said I thought last season was a little flukey in terms of us being a playoff team...but I was never going to care about what the records were the first 2 seasons, I just wanted to see progression. I hate to say it...but McDermott reminds me a lot of Jauron. I know everyone wants to point out making the playoffs last year...but I believe Jauron once had a 13-3 season with the Bears. That doesn't make him a good coach. I wasn't really upset when Marrone left...I was probably overly optimistic with the Pegulas in the fold...but I just didn't expect for us to downgrade on their first 2 hires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrod's friend Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 75 points in 6 quarters, and we want to make a comparison to a likely HC of the year candidate? OK. Seems like good timing for this question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills11 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Defintely Marrone he always had us competitive and prepared ..he was just hamstrung by awful Qb play..ej was so bad..they had to go out and get Kyle Orton. I think with a better gm aka coughlin he would have been great here. Whaley screwed him on ej pick and the Watkins trade up. If we just stay put and then draft Bridgewater the next year or even pick up a good vet we'd be fine . He also has a knack for great staff hires which McDermott has failed at so far..Pettine and shwartz were great hires . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I don’t want to render a verdict on McD yet -,but man, it’s hard to remember a coach that had this many games where the team was so completely unprepared and unmotivated.
