I think he made a few mistakes in building the team (largely forgoing future for present success), but i also think keeping marrone wasn't the right move. They did bring him in as an heir apparent, but i thought Coughlin would bring a new level of prestige to a coaching search. Maybe but they dont have a plan of how to succeed. I've never seen anyone like McDermott who had a plan and processes to win, probably the most ready coordinator to become a HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - i just remember the offseason after rex... it was like - why is whaley hiring anyone? Shouldn't he be gone? Or shouldn't we hire a VP to oversee - the pegula's are in over their heads... why is russ brandon still here?! etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whaley's press conference? Was that 2 years ago? McBeane have turned this clown show around in a hurry. They're clearly trying to replicate in a way, what teams like GB, Pitt, and NE do year in and year out. They have stabilized this organization in a very short time, its really impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCockSportif Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Every time I look at a team like the Jaguars, I realize how far the Bills have come over the past 3 seasons. Maybe someone already said this, and if so I apologize for the duplicate. Just taking a quick stroll through TBD today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I defended the move, but not because he got run out of town. He hated Whaley and vice versa. He got $4 million to leave and took a job in Fl. Ended up being the HC and even took them to a deep playoff run. Got a nice extension on his contract. I don't think he would change a thing. He likes Pegula and he did acknowledge not liking the way he left. Never said he was sorry he left. Big difference. Don't understand why folks are still sensitive to this.

Don't understand why folks are still sensitive to this. I think he was fine leaving - the contract built in the out and he took it. I think he was under the impression that he'd get the jets or bears jobs that offseason. It worked out with him getting the Jags job - and he even put together a nice season there. But back to back failures with the exact same defense - and him being an offense guy? Time to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 i will never forget where I was when Marrone got hired for the Bills. My cousin asked me how do I like Doug Marrone and I replied the Bills better not hire that guy, he is a loser. Doug has done very little to change my perspective. Even when his teams win it feels like it is in spite of him as the HC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, at that time I'm also pretty sure that no other quality HC was going to come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Yes they are St. Francis boys like Telescope, and Chris Poland, as am I. I don’t believe they were there at the same time as my cousin was in homeroom for four years with Caldwell, and never me Daboll. You might be right though. It’s a tight fraternity at that school.
