Agreed that this could be his choice. Pretty sure it would be an upgrade offensively but our defense could slip if he's not as fully involved.. then again, the disrespect he might feel if they don't take him might cause him to jump ship too. The Pegulas are in a very unenviable position in their first year

Sure doesn't look like they were looking at Marrone very much for input. Seems like marrone is the kind of guy who wouldn't offer much input before but had a lot to say to them after. As the great Chuck Dickerson used to say, "he is all talk and no a$$". Here is the video showing just how uninvolved moron was.

We need a good offensive line and when they blitz we have a dump off to Spiller for 15 yards. Judging a running back based on the 3rd most important skill of a running back (out of 3) is ridiculous, I don't accept a crappy O-line and neither should anyone else. Thanks Marrone for your hard work with these terrible guards you started most of the year.

Great hope he goes there, mostly because they will be worse next year

Same^ I understood him for some weird reason but I always thought of him as a prick. Who cares if we improve. We were trending up overall and didn't see the sense in bashing him. I thought it would be all great as long as we got a new OC and some better guards. Now... I HATE HIM WITH THE FIRE OF 1000 SUNS i didn't understand the Mike Williams situation (can we try him again?!). He was too 'my way or the highway for the pros. The more I think about it 1) sitting Urbik for too long 2)letting stevie go 3) Mike Williams ... Seemed like he would tell Whaley "go ahead bring in whoever you want then if you aren't going to me about it anyway. Doesn't mean I'm going to play them". That's the feeling I got that made me think of him as a prick

Marrone really screws everyone over and now the Polian news... Wouldn't be surprised if Brandon leaves because of it. I wouldn't normally care if Brandon left except that I think whaley's future would be a question mark. And if you ask me he is our MVP.

wade phillips?! oh please no. I can see it now, no headset and sounding like the dad from 'king of the hill'... "damnit bobby"

welp, at least if Marrone goes to NYJets He gets TJ Graham again... which is nice

Cmon guys for the love of all that is holy... Polian isn't on staff and convinced me on the radio that he won't be

I OBVIOUSLy 'will miss 'coffee with the coach'... that was the most painfully awkward thing to watch in the history of things to watch. Chris Brown avoiding eye contact with him... Marrone trying to put up a cheese ball grin and then immediately going to a tight-lipped a-hole face... that was gold baby! gold!

I think he knew they were going to ask him to fire Hackett so he asked for an extension for him. They said screw you so he said screw you. I think it was all about protecting hackett. IMO, the best part of this whole thing is that Hackett is gone. I just hope schwartz stays with the team.

Kiko is omnipresent and plants his thoughts in others heads..

What now?? Frank Reich? Schwartz? Rex?

i would almost guarantee this is true. Just my opinion if course

WTF, holy Mike malarkey batman

this is correct^ worry about getting guards 3 or 4 of them in the draft.. Seriously. If a quarter back with good value falls to us, take him. Our line was bad this year due to guard play and a ten year vet was only marginally outperforming a second year kid. Common factor was seeing ghosts and throwing to check downs because they had no confidence in pass protection.

I hope Marrone stops being BFF with Pears. It seriously seemed like he could be a meany to his best friend. Please let Pears walk. Richardson never even got a chance to play on the right side which is what he did in college.

I was 20 years watching the game at my parents house in Warsaw NY full of confusion after my dad and I were at the stadium for 'the bootleg play' against Jacksonville the week earlier. Couldn't figure out how you go with Johnson (confusion).. Johnson almost wins the game with one shoe (confusion)... Look at Wade on the sidelines with no headset (looks confused)... that play happened (confusion for obvious reasons). 15 Years later and in California still confused over all of that and now confused over our offensive guards, QB and OC.

I will do just that. I will do so knowing that Russ isn't an OC, an offensive guard, an offensive line coach or a QB. I think Whaley and Marrone will address all of those needs shortly as it is Whaley and Marrone's job to do that.

I'd bet that fewer owners than you think have graduate degrees. A degree means jack squat when put up against all his years of experience. I don't think Brandon has done an exceptional job, but I also don't think he is what is holding us back. We all know Ralph was cheap and he was too involved in too many of the decisions that hurt us. I think he was a great man but his later days offered very little in the way of bucking his reputation as a tight wad and his interfering with progress. I know alot of people with graduate degrees who are not doing so well considering their education. It's a dumb argument to make basically because experience is education. You can't learn what those guys need to know in a classroom setting. You have to know the ins and ou's of specific organizations and cater your approach accordingly. He spent years with Ralph as a mentor and I'm sure learned a lot more valuable information about running a team/business than someone could with a graduate degree from Harvard. That said I don't think he's great or necessary but I don't think you put Ryan Fitzpatrick through another couple years of school and give him the job.

Bay Area here, he's going to Michigan. It's pretty much a done deal.

If we lose Marrone/Hackett, I hope we keep Schwartz. If that happens FR from SD or Bevell would be good hires for head coach

I think they both should stay but with the condition that we get a new offensive coordinater. He'd have to be a guy that could work with the talent we have.

I think whaley and his team is great at evaluating defense and not so good at evaluating offense. Especially offensive linemen. We need Mostly linemen in this draft (OG) and maybe a QB if he could become something. Also, same positions in free agency. For what its worth I said watkins would be injured a lot and I wanted us to take either Benjamin or Evans as a receiver. We screwed up considering that we could have had Beckham, Benjamin or Evans. That's how i feel about Whaley until somebody proves it wrong.

Spikes won't fetch big bucks this time so maybe but at a roll player price tag. Hughes yes, spiller yes AND a guard. DAREUS is next year
