Whether or not these personnel changes work out, I find it refreshing to see the team making a series of bold moves in an effort to get significantly better now, with a bit of an edge, instead of the 15 years of conservative dumpster diving, Mario Williams aside, that led up to this point. If Marrone stays, or if they go with non-Rex and stand pat, it feels to me like it would have been more of the same. Plus, any player that Whaley added, assuming he was still here with Marrone here, would have found their way into the doghouse and off of the field in short order so that Marrone could wear his "I'm with stupid" teeshirt with confidence while sitting next to DW at pressers. Maybe I'm wrong, and Marrone would have embraced spending Pegula's money with a little flare for the benefit of the team without the end run on Whaley.
