eball Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 26 minutes ago, TuelTime said: Douggie was a good coach in a tough spot. He had a clause in his contract that paid him good money if there was an ownership change. He and Whaley weren't seeing eye to eye at the time because Whaley was trying to shove EJ Manuel down his throat. He had overachieved the year before and he wanted out before Whaley and EJ ruined his career.. Can you really blame him for not wanting to hitch his wagon to EJ Manuel and Doug Whaley? Let's be frank here. I'm glad St. Doug left. I wasn't touting him as some great coach when he was here. He did a decent job making the Bills competitive (with a huge helping hand from Schwartz with the D) but his management of the offense was horrid and he redefined the term "conservative." He had just led the Bills to a 9-7 record and if he truly believed in himself he would have tried to make it work with Whaley. He took the easy way out when his blustery demands to the Pegulas were not immediately granted. He owes a debt of gratitude to his agent for building in the buyout, and I'm not "blaming" him for taking it. I'm just saying that by taking it, he showed his true colors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCockSportif Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I had nothing against Marrone. Sure, he bailed, but my only complaint is that the FO didn't get cleaned out as a part of the coaching change. My second complaint, of course, was Rex.

Spiderweb Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 2 hours ago, Virgil said: I have no hatred for the guy. I don’t like how he left and think he’s overall a megalomaniac, but don’t care about him as a person. This is about him as a coach on that team. Coughlin wouldn’t have that level of affect not the players for them to “give up” as it was said. People around here love to dump on old Dougie boy but the reality at the time was that the Bills organization was up in the air and in disarray and the team wasn't looking good cap wise, etc. Hard to really blame him for bailing. With that said, I did not like him as our coach and his side kick Hackett did a terrible job. It was a win win scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jabber Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Doug was good at one thing, and that was hiring good DC's [Pettine, Schwartz]. Otherwise, he was an ultra-conservative coach, who was fixated on what was said about himself in the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistofFate Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) As far as Im concerned, Marrone did us a favor. I never liked him as a coach or a person. He seems like a real dick and lacks any kind of real leadership qualities. His biggest claim to fame here was "I beat Green Bay" oh my, lets all bow down.

So they're better off keeping the guy they already have under contract and see what candidates are available next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoPoy88 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Marrone had a convenient scapegoat in Coughlin this year (although the excessive fines and CBA violations were, in all likelihood, ultimately Coughlin’s idea.) Plus, I really think Khan is more interested in international expansion/relocation than anything on the field right now. Now, having a good team will help in that goal, but I don’t think Khan views it as critical. So Doug gets to skate another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you or anyone else think that he is a good coach? He inherited an elite defense and rode them to a 10 win season and then after that everything unraveled. What exactly does Marrone bring to the table? Is he is good leader? No. Is he smart? No (he cant even get out coherent sentences have the time). Is he a good offensive or defensive coach?
