Kelly the Dog Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I was extremely happy. Hated him. I think there was a direct correlation for Terry and Kim to go from Saint Doug to King Rex to the young prince. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passepartout Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Really it has been a slow but still steady and very much a championship team process. Need to grow. As really not a lot of teams get to grow. It seems like a two year window for coaches to get their act together. Really hope they can grow. Not just a great coach but a great person from what I hear.

Marrone cancerized himself in Jax like he did here. He alienated players, fans and the sports media, with his humorless, knowitall approach. All Bills fans should be thankful to be rid of this gasbag. But we had to endure the two most embarrassing years of Bills fandom - the Ryan era. I'd have rather had the same record for two years but under Marrone than that embarrassment of a human leading this team. Hating and I use that word intentionally.... hating the man coaching your favourite team really makes it not fun.

TheCockSportif Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I'm kinda indifferent to Marrone these days. It wasn't the Marrone hire that pissed me off (I'm pretty sure that practically nobody decent wanted to coach this team in those days, if memory serves); it was the Rex hire.

Gugny Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 When he was hired, I remember thinking, "this guy won the ***** Pinstripe Bowl!!! We got ourselves a real HC!!!" Turned out that wasn't really the best litmus test. In seriousness, Marrone was hired into just about the biggest dumpster fire in the NFL. Inept ownership. Inept front office. Was he great? No. But when he left, the Bills had a winning record and a top defense. I never blamed him for bailing with all of the uncertainty. I think he did the best job he could being the head coach of a horribly managed team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB Bills Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) I don't always compare other teams' fans with other bills fans, but when I got the notification he opted out, I partied like it was 1999. Then I saw that some fans were upset and I knew that we had some dumb fans among us too. All good though. We all want the same thing. In short, eff Doug Marrone. He was the antithesis of what we have now. Arrogant, stupid and dismissive. Edited January 1, 2021 by QB Bills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand the financial part of the deal but he’s a loser and always will be. The place was still a dumpster fire though and his stock was at its height. He wanted Whaley gone and a GM that he approved of hired. While I am sure he went about it the wrong way because he is clearly a dick of a man if McDermott and Beane have taught us anything it is that organisational alignment wins. It wouldn't have won in the same with with Marrone because like his best bud Billy O down in Houston he'd have always wanted more and more power.... but the germ of that idea "in order to fully turn this around I need a GM I am more aligned with" was not wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
