He quit on his players. He quit on 90% of his staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a nice check, but if he stayed and was successful, he would have got an extension. The real money is made by being a coach for a decade plus. His next job will not be an NFL head coach and he will forever have the “re-tread” label moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills6969 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Like it or not Marrone is a solid coach. He was a play away from taking the Jags to the Super Bowl with freakin Bortles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I was happy he decided to quit, he stunk, I never liked that hire or the process the Bills took in interviewing. We were promised a “no stone unturned” search, and what we got was 5-days in Arizona from Bills brass interviewing: Whisenhunt (fired), Lovie Smith (fired), Mike McCoy, Chip Kelly (courtesy interview) and Doug Marrone. He was trumpeted as a fellow New Yorker (Bronx vs Buffalo) and instead punted from the Pittsburgh 36-yard line down by 2-scores in the 4th quarter with a 3-5 record. Obsessed with punting and playing field position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His team almost made the Super Bowl because it had a good defense? Is that supposed to discredit him as a coach? I wonder how Marrone would be viewed if the Andy Dalton miracle had happened in 2014 and his 9-7 Bills squad snuck into the playoffs to end the drought instead of Mcdermott's 9-7 Bills team in 2017. St. Doug is still a punk for quitting on the Bills like he did, but people in this thread going on and on about him being a terrible coach are just wrong.

There was a narrative in the media that his game management and conservative nature was killing the team. Looking back it’s hard to dispute that. Still a winning record at 9-7, even though it meant losing to a 2-12 Raider team that killed their chance at the playoffs, seemed like a huge accomplishment. I thought we had traded up when they hired Rex a few days later🙄🙄🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t a terrible coach and was easily the best coach of The Drought (not saying much). I’d say he was pretty mediocre. The biggest thing that continues to plague his success is his conservative nature. We saw this in Buffalo when he elected to punt close to FG range. You can argue he cost JAX a super bowl appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
