San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 They'd be foolish to put all of their Duck eggs in one basket. You crack me up.
RyanC883 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 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. Yeah, and demolishing L-Ville and shutting down the W.Va offense two years in a row is nothing. Also, unlike the Bills, Cuse ended the season on a tear. 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". +1 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 I think you summed it up!! @MaryKayCabot: Cleveland Browns have interviewed Penn State's Bill O'Brien, Syracuse's Doug Marrone, Plain Dealer has learned; The Browns are on a mission. Are we going to interview Bill O'Brien?! Seems like he'd be a good pick for a number of reasons, plus he knows the Pat's system!
BuffOrange Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Yeah, and demolishing L-Ville and shutting down the W.Va offense two years in a row is nothing. Also, unlike the Bills, Cuse ended the season on a tear. Sorry, you don't get to bring up the lone bright spot from last year & brag about how he closes seasons when they lost their last umpteen games after the WVU game last yr.

According to SI, Penn State is putting pressure on him to remain and it appears to be working: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/college-football/news/20130103/bill-obrien-penn-state/index.html

26CornerBlitz Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 You crack quack me up. Fixed it, 'cause I know that's what you meant to say.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Fixed it, 'cause I know that's what you meant to say. Don't put words in my bill!
26CornerBlitz Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Don't put words in my bill! No worries, like water off a ducks back.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 No worries, like water off a ducks back. I'm gonna have to pun(t) on that one. You win the golden egg award.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 @caplannfl Met Doug Marrone years ago at the combine. Very impressive guy. Down to earth, no ego.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 just imagine if we get Marrone as HC I would bet a couple of paychecks we go after Nassib. Maybe the interview will be like lets see what we can find out about Nassib as well. Well at least I hope so. Package deal maybe? Makes some sense.

bills44 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 i'm not too sure this interview is going to take place. jw ADD: and that's why Marrone's name has not been mentioned in any of my AP copy. Is it that : 1. The Bills hire a HC before they interview Marrone; 2. Marrone accepts another HC gig before he meets with the Bills; 3. Either the Bills or Marrone isn't really interested in the other and cancels the interview; or 4. None of the above.

BillnutinHouston Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Yes. And he'll take the job, which is more than any rock star NFL name will do, since whoever takes the Bills job knows they get fired as soon as Ralph dies and new ownership takes over. I mean that could happen, like, next year for crying out loud. Think, people. Whoever takes the Bills gig is instantly a dead man walking. Disagree completely. A signed 5-year contract with the Bills is as guaranteed as a signed 5-year contract with anyone else. If you have doubts, ask Chan Gailey, who will continue collecting Ralph's checks for quite some time (UNTIL HIS CONTRACT EXPIRES).
bills44 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Take this with a grain of salt: http://syracusefan.com/threads/word-leaking-out-that-doug-is-staying.40597/ Tom Withers of associated press tweeting "my understanding is Marrone is not leaving Cuse".
