I've been doing some research on Marrone, and am finding mostly positive feedback. To those who are dead set against the hire, could you please elaborate on your misgivings of the hire?
I've read that he:
Is very aggressive in his schemes, but conservative with his game day play calling
Has taken a historically bad SU program and taken it to two bowl wins
Has taken Nassib, a QB who after his freshman year was expected to be an UDFA at best, and helped him become a potential top 2 round pick
Has experience managing two running backs
Is not an NFL retread, but still has head coaching experience
Offensive minded coach, has been associated with success in the NFL as OC (New Orleans) and OL coach (Jets)
http://scottpitoniak.blogspot.com/2013/01/marrone-good-choice-to-rebuild-buffalo.html - Drew Brees told me that he “loved working with Marrone because Doug knew offenses inside and out, was meticulous in his preparation and was a great leader.”
He knows how to prevent a player from poisoning the locker room, Mike Williams at SU for example
This is not something the Bills do. The more I read about Marrone the more I'm liking.
