dave mcbride Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Saints led their division in points scored his last 2 seasons as OC in NO. Although their record was not great, scoring was not their problem. However, chan was also a great offensive mind and that does not always translate to victories. I would need a big time DC to be brought in for me to feel comfortable with this hire. He coordinated that saints offense as much as Curtis modkins coordinated the bills offense this year. That is, hardly at all. That was all Payton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Doug Marone...seriously? I'm out of town right now, but I'll be back in ten days; maybe I'll call OBD and set something up for an interview, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Curious why is Marrone Bottom of the barrel to you? Following Greg Robinson is like following Hank Bullough. I thought at the time 'Cuse was an underrated job because it's a good tradition with nowhere to go but up. Marrone getting interviews after a couple Pinstripe Bowls and losing to inferior teams this year pretty much confirms that. Oh and he also punts from the other team's 35.

Billsfan4ever14580 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Boy, Russ and his regionalization plan never ends. Smart marketing move to get people from Syracuse interested. Doubtful he would ever get hired as the Bills coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsoldier54 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Bottom of the barrell coaching continues at OBD!!!! Amazing!!! LOL, they haven't even hired anyone yet. Let's see who else they interview and maybe even who they hire before we start the bitching, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keukasmallies Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Marone had an OK year at SU, Donny Melchior had an outstanding year coaching the Pop Warner Bandits in Teaneck, NJ, too. Let's get ol' Don in for an interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) I just love these exhaustive coaching and GM searches. It depends. Are we looking for someone to grow a franchise quarterback and then fire for someone who could actually take on and beat the Patriots? What assistant coaches will he be bringing in? The OC from Rutgers? The DC from Monmouth? Right Wing Man. Part of the problem the bills have had is not only that the head coach was bad, but also the co ordinators and assistants have been bad. That's one of the reasons I'm all in on the Lovie band wagon. Lovie will be able to hire a real staff of men who know how things are done in the NFL. Lovie could bring in a DC like Rob Marinelli. You hire some college guy and you get college assistants or guys that can't get a job anywhere else. Imagine a staff of real assistants instead of the likes of Geroge Edwards, Turk Schonert, and Alex Van Pelt. He could also drag some decent players with him.

Dr. Trooth Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Keep an open mind. No coach has been hired, no games have been lost. Once the new coach has been hired we can activate "B word mode". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing!!! wow - talk about unfounded pessimism Boy, Russ and his regionalization plan never ends. Smart marketing move to get people from Syracuse interested. Doubtful he would ever get hired as the Bills coach. lots of overreaching opinions during this process - this post is a case in point. These are INTERVIEWS, people ...... and it's called following a process. Damn it, will people be happy if anyone other than Cowher/Gruden/Kelly/other flavor of the week gets interviewed?

PromoTheRobot Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Look, it's simple. All we need to do is hire a young, up-and-coming head coach with a couple of Super Bowl rings, a college national championship, no losing seasons ever, who developed a pro bowl QB but didn't have too good a QB that made him look smarter than he is. Like I said, simple. PTR Edited January 2, 2013 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jethro_tull Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Syracuse alum, New York NFL beat writer, NFL coaching scholar and author Gary Myers perdicts Marrone will be an NFL coach either this year or next- and would hate to see him leave his alma mater. "He's the first one to get the arrow point up" Myers said. Ayy, these college coaches ain't that bad ahhhhh??? What's to lose at this point as it is? Marone, maybe this guy deserves a break, ahh?
