transient Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Freakin juveniles! Uh-huh... so you're saying the 3 Stooges are for those with a more refined sense of humor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 That is the beauty of the hire. I don't beloeve he will be calling plays so we will get a real OC and DC and he will be a Marv Levy type overseer and real head coach. I thought the same of Horton but his 34 defense probably scared us. Marv Levy had a real DC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Here is what I like about the pick of Marrone as head coach: they didn't pick Jim Haslett or Ken Whisenhut. Here is what I don't know: Is Marrone some diamond in the rough that will turn into a Hall of Fame coach? Here is what I know: The Bills, in their infinite wisdom, searched the length and breadth of the nation for the best football coach in America and came up with Marrone. The best football coach they could find without any limitations and they found him at one of the major football powers in the country: Syracuse! Seriously, why was I born and raised in WNY only to be subjected to this unending abuse? The Bills continue to defy logic. I hope Marrone is a great success, but I find it hard to believe he was the number one candidate in America for the Bills. Every other team looking for a coach was going to talk to Marrone. Are those teams stupid too? PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I am not a juvenile, just an immature adult. I know you are but what am I? Every other team looking for a coach was going to talk to Marrone. Are those teams stupid too? PTR I believe Marrone had more interviews than any other HC candidate during this cycle. One could say that with the only possibly exception being Chip Kelly that Marrone was the most highly-sought out HC candidate. I think a lot of the naysayers here should reflect on that and consider what value that might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Yeah that 19-40 record Lovie Smith posted against winning teams was going to really get us places in our division wasn't it? He has been 2-9 against GB since McCarthy took over including 6 straight losses...sounds familiar doesn't it?

PNW_Bills_Fan Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I love that people around here didn't want a retread but a fresh new starts. We get that very thing and it is a bad hire. I am not sure I like the hire but it is hard to judge till we see what he does with the the DC and OC. I like that he has more of a intensity to him. I like that he learned under Peyton. I like that he has been an OC and a O-linw coach. I like that he has been a HC even if it is in collage. I like that he is younger. I look at this like I did when the Seahawks hired PC. When we heard about this most people in Seattle were like "what" where did this come from. I would think that was the same thought in Baltimore and Atlanta when their coaches we hired. All I can really do is hope for the best and expect the worst...but I believe that would be the same with any coach that was hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to that, suddenly Whisenhunt becomes high on their list... can you imagine the meltdown here if we went from "The Bills have a deal in place with Chip Kelly" to "After being spurned, the Bills have hired the Whis."

Mr. WEO Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I know you are but what am I? I believe Marrone had more interviews than any other HC candidate during this cycle. One could say that with the only possibly exception being Chip Kelly that Marrone was the most highly-sought out HC candidate. I think a lot of the naysayers here should reflect on that and consider what value that might have. I'M still thinking on that.......I got nothin. Would anyone have hired this guy last year, when "the cuse" won 5 games? I guess the good news is that every other year we will win 8 games.

AKA Bigdog Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 This pick makes perfect sense. Pick a complete joke of a coach. Bomb the season. Get number one pick. Take Johnny football. Pay marrone his bonus for losing with credibility. Fire the whole lot of them and get a real coach. Otherwise it is a horrible hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billstolast Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I love how half the board hates the hire and the other half is trying to get excited about this hire..fact is why can't we evere hire someone that excites the fan base..oh wait you have hire a good coach to do that...well maybe in 2016 we'll hire a good coach...doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny football is a true freshmen, he cannot come out in next years draft.
