LiterateStylish Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Link? Justification? Anything besides whining? Didn't think so. Any justification for your optimism? Didn't think so.
sodbuster Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 so espn reporters are saying we hired the hottest candidate on the market. this is not what I am used to as a bills fan.
LiterateStylish Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 On exactly what do you base your assertion? The last 4 years watching him coach my alma mater.
MILFHUNTER#518 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Initial knee jerk reaction to this news I just woke up to: Fresh blood...kinda like that idea. OC for the Saints...kinda like that idea too, but... The guy has a .500 record? In a weak conference? Pinstripe Bowl? What happened to Love Smith, Chip Kelly and Wisenhunt? Is this a pick based on getting a low-priced coach? My reaction was similar when we hired Gailey and Jauron. Deja Vu all over again right?
McBeane Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Marrone turned Cuse around all most immediately. With little talent he coached those kids to back to 8-5 seasons and bowl appearances. Pretty solid accomplishment, but does it warrant a NHL HC shot? Seems a little early to throw that at him. I say that because the Bills were the only team interviewing him. That makes me nervous. Marrone will have a huge challenge in front of him and will need a ton of help. Front office better have a plan for a OC and DC. I doubt Marrone has those relationships. ESPN just ran a peice on the hire and Herm Edwards had some nice things to say about the new coach. Oh well, I know this, find a top QB to play in B-lo and Marrone will look like the next NFL genious and Brandon will be the genious who took a shot on him. Good luck Doug! We're with you. Well considering how he was the most hotly pursue candidate, even over Chip Kelly, you should probably make sure your facts are straight.
I_want_2_BILL_Lieve Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Wow. Just read all 20+ pages. I don't know a lot about him. But after reading all this, the guy's career is eerily similiar to Tom Coughlin's. Edited January 6, 2013 by I_want_2_BILL_Lieve
The Beautiful East Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Because im a huge Syracuse sports fan, I know exactly who he is, and its a joke. An absolute disgusting joke. Would you care to elaborate, Sir?
LiterateStylish Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I see A LOT of very upset optimists because the realists see that this was a truly horrible move. And the funny thing is im USUALLY an optimistic. I supported Gailey from day 1. Jauron from day 1. Mularkey from day 1. Not this guy.
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I just don't see how a single successful season in college football translates into NFL HC of the future. Just don't.
EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 How is this a cheap hire? Is it bc it's not Chip Kelly? Marrone was in demand by numerous teams and he chose the Bills after turning a bad Cuse team around My guess is u wouldn't hv be happy with anyone except Kelly who has left a few teams hanging We're talking about franchises that could have hired him, but we did. It is a cheap hire because the coach and staff of a college coach costs much less to the bottom line than a seasoned professional coach. My guess is that you assume that Chip Kelly was my fave and you couldn't be more wrong.... ohh, and Lovie Smith to a team to a SUPER BOWL... did Marrone do that!??!!?!?
LiterateStylish Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Would you care to elaborate, Sir? What do you want me to say? There isn't a single team in the NFL who would have hired him. Interviewed, yes. Many people get interviewed. Hired, no.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Call me when Hester does retire, then that says something. Players seemed to love DJ and CG also, what's that buy you? Sounds like Lovie was a well liked guy, I'll give him that. Think I read the Bears only made playoffs once in past six years?? I'd have been fine if they had hired Lovie, but to say he was head and shoulders a better choice is laughable. Lovie is a proven winner and defensive genius and players and coaches and media alike were all shocked that he was fired after going 10-6. Future hall of famer Devon Hester is so upset that he is contemplating retirement. I think that speaks volumes for Lovie's credibility around the league To me this is similar to last season in Tampa, don't recall them having too many problems signing FA. I'm happier with DM than I would have been with Chip Kelly. Kelly is a huge gimmick. .what free agents are joing to sign or re sign for doug moron?? Ad og and safety to the list of needs and start the count down ti when we can hope to get a new coach Yes but look where SU was before Marrone took over, there was a big improvement and typically it takes longer in college than the NFL to turn things around. Marrone improved SU where as you could argue both DJ and CG, were hired the team got worse. What is hilarious is how people are rallying around this hire. Just like they rallied around Jauron and Gailey. How much more info do you need than Marrone finised .500 in the Big East?!?! I really feel sorry for so many of you. Low expectations and low intellect is a terrible combination!
thebandit27 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Because im a huge Syracuse sports fan, I know exactly who he is, and its a joke. An absolute disgusting joke. Really? Because I've spoken to multiple Syracuse sports fans this morning about Marrone, and they all told me he's going to do very well in the NFL...please explain why you know more than they do...without the overly-emotional garbage, just some facts please. Any justification for your optimism? Didn't think so. Sure. Put together a very good offensive line with the Jets in the early 2000's...put together a very good offense with New Orleans in the late 2000s, and turned a horrible Syracuse football program into a Big East winner. But again, don't let the facts get in the way of a good crusade. Now, if you don't mind, I'll take the reasons for your pessimism...
LiterateStylish Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I just don't see how a single successful season in college football translates into NFL HC of the future. Just don't. Yup. And even the BEST coaches in College don't translate well into the NFL.
EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Link? Justification? Anything besides whining? Didn't think so. Your positive spin reuires a link where Marrone had a winning record as an NFL head coach. *crickets*
plenzmd1 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I heard all of this crap when Gailey was hired. The day he was hired I posted that "Gailey will make the Jauron era look like the glory years." Today I will guarantee you that Marrone will not lead the Bills out of the basement in the AFCE. I can't help being right! Holy chit Dude, you try to make an argument that he sucks cause his college record sucks, then just retreat into " this is a dumb hire" At least back up your nonsense
thebandit27 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 The last 4 years watching him coach my alma mater. Still not one football related statement...just "I've watched him"
BuffaloPride Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I see A LOT of very upset optimists because the realists see that this was a truly horrible move. And the funny thing is im USUALLY an optimistic. I supported Gailey from day 1. Jauron from day 1. Mularkey from day 1. Not this guy. So you were wrong three times.
thebandit27 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Yup. And even the BEST coaches in College don't translate well into the NFL. Except for Jim Harbaugh, Jimmy Johnson, Pete Carroll, and...oh well...again, the facts don't really interest you do they? Why can't you just give this guy a chance? Edited January 6, 2013 by thebandit27
EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Really? Because I've spoken to multiple Syracuse sports fans this morning about Marrone, and they all told me he's going to do very well in the NFL...please explain why you know more than they do...without the overly-emotional garbage, just some facts please. Syracuse fans, the same fans that have football program that hasn't been in the Top 5 since.... long before the Bills' Super Bowl years??! HAHAHAAAAA. Joke.
