JM57 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 6' 5" 270 Lbs I figured he had to be at least 6'4 for his players (specifically Cuse O-linemen) to be calling him an imposing figure, not to mention his brief NFL experience. So our new coach is basically Lee Smith sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K D Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Well, I dare any of you guys to tell him to his face that he was a bad pick. I know I wouldn't lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAWNDO Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet "I've had some opportunities to make a choice. And I've chosen to be here." -- new #Bills coach Doug Marrone LOVE IT!!! Sounds like he wants DC and OC with NFL Experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Interesting wording in the text. Doug Marrone has been selected as the new head coach Not signed, or even Doug Marrone is the new head coach, but selected. Maybe he hasn't signed on the dotted line yet so they have to word it that way. Or maybe I'm over analyzing I wanted someone from the college ranks instead of a NFL retread and I do not know enough about individual college coaches to prefer one over another, so I'm happy. Now sign good OC/DC while other teams are still floundering over getting a HC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Just said he wanted his coordinators to have NFL experience. Thank you 5 lb 6 oz baby Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I see a young version of Parcells standing here.. his size, voice, confidence, etc.. i can picture him in 25 years with some Super Bowl titles on his resume. I'm pumped! Cleveland really blew it by not grabbing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAWNDO Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 howard @hsimon62 "right from the beginning, this is where I wanted to be" Marrone reportedly also interviewed with Cle, SD,Phil Buffalo Bills @buffalobills Doug Marrone: "I will not be calling plays, but everything will go through me" Plans to be on headset with O/D/Specs coaches Sal Maiorana @salmaiorana My stance on players at every position, we will play the best players who give us the best chance to win.

RkFast Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 So far, everything Im reading about the man, the referrals and "reviews" hes gotten from his peers, plus what he's saying so far in this presser, is VERY impressive. We may have a good one here. I hope so....we deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K D Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm a little discouraged to hear that it sounds like they have no idea who the DC and other coaches will be. Isn't that something they should have been working on in the back channels for a couple of days now? It sounds like they just said let's sign this HC and figure the rest out later. Picking the right DC is going to be HUGE in this process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking the right DC is going to be HUGE in this process They selected him Sat night late. They did the contract all day yesterday Its noon Monday and they spent the AM setting up the presser. When were they supposed to work on coordinators? Edited January 7, 2013 by RkFast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM57 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Well either Brandon knows exactly what we wanted to hear after Chan.....or this guy really is exactly what we wanted after Chan. - Will be involved in all phases of the game - Its about the personnel, not the scheme - Hard work, blue collar, blah blah blah - Play the players that give you the best chance to win - Wants coordinators with NFL experience - Will NOT be calling plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking the right DC is going to be HUGE in this process There is also the chance that he knows who his coordinators are going to be, or is negotiating with them right now, and doesn't feel the need to involve us in the selection process. Which is as it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I could definitely see our new coordinators being Pete Carmichael on Offense and Donnie Henderson on Defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
