I guess thats impressive. If they hadn't lost the last 3 games of the year maybe I'd consider him a coach of the year contender? Still - Denver finished 7-9 with a bunch of scrubs at QB too. Bears went 8-8 with Trubiskey.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Marrone is supposed to be meeting with Khan "Midweek" Jacksonville Jaguars (6-10) Coach: Doug Marrone (21-28 over four seasons) The team and Marrone refuted an ESPN report that he had been told before Sunday's game that it would be his finale with the Jaguars. His status, per the team, won't be determined until a midweek meeting with owner Shad Khan. 2019 NFL Playoffs Coverage What you need to know: • Preview: Bracket and more » • Playoff schedule » • Super Bowl LIV »More NFL coverage » Marrone said he will lay out his plan for turning around the franchise after just 11 wins the past two seasons, and if that matches with Khan's vision, then Marrone believes he's the right man for the job. Khan has kept his thoughts on the matter private, but reports in previous weeks were that there was a good chance both Marrone and GM Dave Caldwell will be back. It's going to be an interesting few days. -- Michael DiRocco 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the Pats have done in the last 10 years is insane. 5 Super Bowls, 8 AFC Championships and 11 division titles in a row. Especially when their fans credit them for 11 division titles in 10 years.

bobobonators Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 20 hours ago, Happy Gilmore said: Then it will be three years in a row they don't make the playoffs. Sucks to be a Steeler fan. Someone correct me if Im wrong, but didnt the Steelers have the following miss significant time this season due to injury? 1. # 1 QB 2. # 1 RB 3. # 1 WR and they still finished with 8 wins. Id love to see our record with Allen missing the season, Brown missing time, and Singletary being out..all at the same time. You have a better shot of winning the powerball than Tomlin getting fired this offseason. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 3 hours ago, Gugny said: They sucked this year because they are still missing some pieces and started a rookie QB. As Levi and Dave stated, they have a generational RB, solid ownership and a built-in winning culture. Those things, alone, make the Giants the most attractive landing spot for a HC, in my opinion. Just look at the other teams with vacancies and ask yourself if they have all the things the Giants have. They don't. I disagree about the winning culture. They haven't been good for a long time. Even when Eli won those Superbowls they got in on a wild card and a weak division. History doesn't mean much at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2zipper Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I think tomlin's tenure has become a little more impressive considering what Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell ended up actually becoming when they left that team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a 3rd round pick for Taylor with a similar contract, so maybe Cam fetches a 2nd rounder??? He had a couple noteworthy seasons years ago before some of the injuries.

Not according to this article: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/12/30/report-all-signs-point-to-washington-hiring-ron-rivera/ Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the team’s interview with Rivera is more of a “coronation” and that all signs point to Rivera being named the team’s new head coach on Monday.
