"Bills President and CEO Russ Brandon, an East Syracuse native, serves on the Syracuse University Sports Management Advisory Board, and has a measure of familiarity with Marrone."

So, was this a marketing move, or one of cronyism?

 

I don't know, but as a Bills Fan I will rally behind him and hope that he is up to the task.

 

GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chip must have said the Bills had no chance so they made a snap decision and went for Cleveland's backup plan (Marrone) before they could. Chip will probably end up in Philly and Browns will be in trouble

If he will keep the offense he is/was running @ Syracuse, we should all be happy. Been told by a college coordinator that it is one of the easiest systems to learn. That should benefit our new QB (Barkley,Wilson or Nassib) :worthy: Bring it on, BRING IT ON !!!!!

The case can be made that this move helps with regional marketing, but it's definitely not cronyism as Marrone was also drawing serious interest from both Philly and Cleveland.

 

I'm guessing he interviewed with them to increase the price for the Bills, just like Kelly's interview with us.

Little Doug Marrone History:

What do i like the most about Dog Marrone? Born and raised in the Bronx. I think guys like Mario Williams, Marcel Dareus, Aaron Williams, to name a few need a Bronx flavor to kick them all to the next level of what they can do on the field.

I of course meant Doug, not Dog.

For all you know, he could have been born in Riverdale.

Marrone was the consolation prize for Cleveland if they couldn't get Chip Kelly. Why would we want Cleveland's backup plan? I just don't get this at all. Who is going to be OC and DC?

Because the only coach who would consider Buffalo an upgrade is one who today is in f ing Syracuse. He's cheap since he is coming from the college ranks and he's local, so the thought of coming to "old and cold" is just more of the same. Sounds like the Bills to me. They will not pay Lovie or Wiz 5 or 6 mil/per to be HC. no way. Good hire. Syracuse looked good against WV. He'll bring his college staff with him, heck the Bills are pretty much a college team anyway. and he will be fired exactly 34 months from now or sooner if ownership changes. and we will start over again. again. did I say, again? Isn't it great to be a bills fan?
