Someone was on here defending Doug big time after he opted out of his contract saying “Doug was ran out of town.” We all suspected it was either Doug or a family member.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 2 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: Yeah, the story goes that he had a dugout suite and those suites share a bathroom with the suite next to them (basically 2 suites have a common room where the bathrooms are). Marrone’s suite was one of them and the injured Packers were in the other. If I remember correctly there was some trash talk at some point and the Bills win the game. She mooned the suite next to them late in the game. Someone here told the story. I don’t know if it’s true or not but based on stories I heard about St. Doug I wouldn’t be surprised. ...Pegula DID offer him a four year, $19.6 mil extension......Doug said, "I'll get back to you" and did not...Pegs called him and Doug said "I'm shopping for my wife's Christmas gift and will get back to you"...he did not...next notice was resignation (Whaley & Brandon hated Marrone for his Patton like, militaristic style and wanting them in EVERY meeting..post camp meetings went to 9 or 10PM regularly)...Pegula summoned Whaley to Boca pronto...Brandon was already in West Palm Beach for the holidays....they met with Pegs on New Years Eve until 9+PM......TP was hamstrung.....Brandon and Whaley were under contract......fire them BOTH and as a neophyte Owner, he has no HC, GM or club Prez, a gutted organization............ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR: “then I quit!” Mafia: “Bye, Felicia” LOL that’s right. I forgot about that. Someone asked Benjamin Albright on Twitter that question. He said it’s fairly common to let coaches know they will be fired on Black Monday ahead of time. It gives them a chance to say goodbye to players etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add an additional layer, it was rumored that when Pegula took over he knew there were some issues in the front office. According to Vic Carucci (who is close with Polian), Terry planned to hire Bill Polian as a Football czar. He had been taking with him for months. The rumor is that Polian had begun brainstorming a plan, and it involved Doug Marrone as HC and Kyle Orton as short term QB. But when Polian made it as a HOF finalist, Marrone quit, and Orton retired, his football czar backed out. It really left Terry in a bad situation and he ended up trusting the very same people that he was trying to replace. The result was Rex Ryan.

If Caldwell survives, I can see him going after Rivera hard. They have the players on defense for Rivera to make them playoff contenders like McD did for us. If he brings Norv, is that the right call? Honest question as I don’t know. Always open to opinions. Didn’t Caldwell go to high school with daboll? Don’t be shocked if daboll goes there should Caldwell survive. LAC is another potential daboll connection. Telesco is a frannies guy, too, if memory serves.

Nick the Greek Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) The guy sold out on my 2 favorite teams (Bills and Cuse). I really wanted him to succeed in Buffalo, especially after that 9-7 season. I felt like we we on the verge of something great. Then he quit on us. He was also a jerk to me and my bro at the Carrier Dome during a Cuse basketball game. F him. I hate the guy. I hope that’s the last I ever hear of him.

Jacksonville Jaguars owner denies head coach Doug Marrone to be sacked after final game of season By Chris Irvine | Fox News The owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars has denied reports that head coach Doug Marrone has been told he will be sacked at the end of the season, dismissing them as "100 percent incorrect." The Jaguars currently sit bottom of the AFC South with a 5-10 record, just two years after they made it all the way to the AFC Championship Game. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/jacksonville-jaguars-head-coach-doug-marrone-job-security Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
