The Poojer Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 that was from 6AM...i think brandon has made statements that they are getting the deal done....step back from the ledge Oh you've got to be freaking kidding me...
Malazan Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I don't think you need your HC to be a Offensive or Defensive genius. Your HC should be able to develop the team in all three phases. He should be able to motivate the team and bring a sense of direction. In fact, I would prefer that our HC not call any plays and focus on the game as a whole. Exactly. A HC needs to be able to delegate and find guys that can get the job done. We'll find out what what happens with that soon enough.
Erik Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Jerry Sullivan @TBNSully Russ Brandon confirms by text that the Bills have agreed in principle to hire Doug Marrone as new head coach. Brandon called him "dynamic".
nucci Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 So watch Marrone go to Cleveland then all the fans who hated the choice for the Bills can start bitching that they didn't get Marrone! Classic.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Fail. The hc of a fail college program? Color me underwhelmed.
Malazan Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 So watch Marrone go to Cleveland then all the fans who hated the choice for the Bills can start bitching that they didn't get Marrone! It would be instant change from 'This guy sucks' to 'Cleveland will win a superbowl'
Delete This Account Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 ESPN, Herm Edwards in case it isn't already linked. all i saw was the insurance ad of a car careening down a highway, and some guy hanging on to the windshield. ... jw
JimS Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Marrone was clearly a name that was getting attention...When I first heard the Bills were going to interview him I was thinking..."What?" Then I read up more about him, saw the obvious interest he was getting everywhere, and realized there has to be something to the guy...Plus...I'm not saying he's the next Sean Payton whatsoever...But he's from that tree...And I for one LOVE Sean Payton...He's one of my favorite NFL HC's...I just think the guy is outstanding, detailed, etc... So anyway, the thought of Marrone being a legit candidate should not be surprising to any Bills fan IMHO... I did the same thing and came away positive. A real head coach, organized, detailed, and expects the same from his staff and players. This will be a guy that will be associated with the Bills, and the culture change. Looking forward to the Doug and Doug show for many years.
KOKBILLS Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 that was from 6AM...i think brandon has made statements that they are getting the deal done....step back from the ledge Right just noticed that... And I'm no bridge jumper...Much more of a smart-ass...Don't assume...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I especially did not like the quote... "Brandon also pointed out that Marrone is still a candidate for other NFL jobs." Put it this way: If the guy agrees in principle to a contract to the extent that the Bills and Brandon and everyone is discussing it, and then turns his back on the agreement because another team comes in at the last second and makes another offer, we probably don't want this guy running our team and being responsible for changing its culture.
Mike in Horseheads Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 ...this story is no different than Chip Kelly and the Browns...deal is mostly done, but not really because there are other offers still pending? Looks like the browns wasted a lot of time on Chip Kelly, latest is they are going back to Cleveland to start all over in their search.
The Poojer Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 who unpinned this? the d&c report was from 6:16 am...brandon has already said it will take all day to finish up the process.....
Delete This Account Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) the D and C story was posted at 6:16 a.m. ... several outlets, including the AP, are now reporting that the deal is done. which is what the AP was told about an hour ago. jw Edited January 6, 2013 by john wawrow
Punch Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 http://www.democrata...t-our-coach-yet "In a note to Sal Maiorana, Brandon said the deal is not completed yet and there is some work left to do. Brandon also pointed out that Marrone is still a candidate for other NFL jobs. Earlier today reports surfaced that Marrone, Syracuse head football coach, agreed to become the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills, according to a person informed of the discussions between the teams. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't been signed and announced. The Bills have not yet confirmed the hire" Yes, at 6:16am. Sal Maiorana is even confirming it is done.
Nanker Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Looks like the browns wasted a lot of time on Chip Kelly, latest is they are going back to Cleveland to start all over in their search. Yes - perhaps. Just saw where Kelly might stay at Oregon. LOL
GG Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 the D and C story was posted at 6:03 a.m. ... several outlets, including the AP, are now reporting that the deal is done. which is what the AP was told about an hour ago. jw It's not reliable unless it came from Twitter.
Hater Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Who did Kelly sign with? The Browns are no longer interested in Kelly, its down to the Eagles or he will just go back to Oregon, rumor is he wants total control of football operation
Dr. K Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 You'll be begging for the return of Chan by mid-season. What a joke.
