Goodwin is not the first to break this.. and yeah, no real surprise. Marrone and Gregg Williams should create a team together.. The Kentucky Headhunters maybe..?

Speaking of Gregg Williams, I thought he should have gotten the Cleveland job after he was the interim. He was a surprisingly calming force after a very chaotic start of the season. If they wanted to keep continuity for Baker, that would have been a better play

Doug I thought actually did all right as a coach the 2 years he was here.

 

 

 

That being said I think it’s underrated how well McDermott and crew developed Josh.  If Marrone was Josh’s 1st coach not sure he’d be what he is today

Never liked Marrone even when he was here. He always came off as very arrogant and a know-it-all. Sean McDermott was a breath of fresh air when he got here. 

[Royale with Cheese]

Marrone took preseason games serious.

One of the worst sports weekends of my life in 2013 was watching Alabama destroy my team Notre Dame at the National Championship in Miami.

 

One glimmer of hope I thought at the time was the news the day before that the Bills hired this tough local Marrone guy as coach.

 

Oh brother…

I don't get it.  Are you sticking up for Marrone??

 

Ha, just referencing some other current stories. Definitely not sticking up for Marrone.

 

But now that you mention it... I do believe Marrone was a better HC than he gets credit for around here.

 

His 3 biggest problems were:

1. Coached under possibly the WORST leadership and structure in Bills franchise history. Ralph was too old to know what year it was, he refused to spend money, and then put Russ Brandon in charge.

2. No QB, and the QB the GM did draft, Marrone didnt want.

3. Marrone himself was a huge, arrogant ahole.

 

I think #3 couldve been forgiven or even looked over if he had been winning. And if he had a real QB and won he couldve been looked at as the next Bill Parcels.

 

If we had Josh Allen back then, that 2014 team absolutely goes to the SB and likely wins it. The only thing that couldve held us back wouldve been Hackett as OC.

 

That said, we didnt, he wasnt, and he's just an insufferable prick.

[Mike in Horseheads]

Marrone did like to go home and kick his dog.

shocking revelation, just shocking....

Marrone was the young phenom and supposed “America’s friendliest college coach.” I think 95% of Bills fans were on board at the time including myself. 
 

I was never more excited coming off the first winning season in what seemed like ages. Then he dumps the Bills like a fat girl after a drunk night.

Calling people soft and then quitting on the team is a pretty interesting move.   

yes and then referring to yourself as St Doug as if we were lucky to have him here... I think we knew he was an A$$ way before MG confirmed it... but the validation is always nice LOL... 

[Alphadawg7]

Ive honestly never heard anything positive about Marrone - seems like a class A dooche cannon.

[The Firebaugh Kid]

My coworker played for Marrone. Hates his guts.

[Marv Levy]

Never hire a coach from Syracuse. Their football program blows and always has. What a dumb hire!

[MJS]

From the title, I expected this to be sexual assault allegations against Marrone by Goodwin. Now, Marrone could never catch Goodwin if Goodwin was aware, but given that Goodwin has taken to falling asleep in empty, dark rooms, Marrone could have snuck up on him.

[aristocrat]

Had a fridge full of twisted teas in his office. That’s all you need to know about Doug

Good point. I'm curious as to why Williams has never gotten another HC gig... but I'd guess the stuff he pulled in New Orleans has something to do with it.

I will say, he almost got us to the playoffs. Might have done the next year if he didn't abandon ship.

He almost made the playoffs with Kyle Orton.  He had no QB after Orton retired.  He had no faith in EJ & unless the Bills pulled off some kind of trade for a guy he wanted, he still would have no QB.  I believe he quit because after Orton quit he wasn't ready to put EJ back on the field.  The only reason Tyrod was the QB the next season was because of Rex's Baltimore connections.  He wouldn't have had Tyrod in 2015.

Which makes him a quitter then. Coaches are like captains, they can't abandon ship.
