zow2 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) kinda sounds like Marrone was their #1 candidate from the get go. i bet it was his job to lose from the beginning. Edited January 7, 2013 by zow2
JM57 Posted January 7, 2013 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 Settle down, Francis. There were 7 head coach openings in the NFL and only 2 have been filled thus far. I think it is safe to say that the vast majority of the available pool of candidates are still available. Andy Reid will most likely assemble a staff in KC very similar to his in Philly.

BRH Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 The tastefully named Gregg Williams had lists... Does anyone even remember who those lists yielded? Jerry Gray on D, but who was the OC?
JM57 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 He played for a couple years and coached for 8 years in the NFL. Hardly "brief." I was specifically speaking about his playing career, which I know I wasn't clear about. Then again, what does size have to do with being a coach! But if I remember right, it was 5 games over 2 years, which is...well, brief.
zow2 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 The Bills are actually AHEAD of the curve on this thing. There's no doubt Marrone would be standing at a podium in Cleveland, San Diego and maybe another club if the Bills didn't move on this Sat night-Sunday. Great hire from the looks of this.

VABills Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Is there a University of Tahiti? It's a diploma mill.

Fadingpain Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Compare Marrone to someone like Dick Jauron. Their personalities, self-confidence, etc., are entirely different ends of the spectrum. The word on Marrone is that he is detail-oriented, into discipline, and doesn't take crap from people. From this perspective alone, he marks a change at 1 Bills Drive.
Campy Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Marrone wouldn't have been my first choice, but I decided to keep an open mind. And after hearing his presser, I'm on board. The guy just sounds like a football coach. Have any of you changed your opinion based on what you heard?
JM57 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Mike Shepard. Oh lord the Sheppard era. Run. Run. Play action. Punt. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. That was by far the WORST era in recent history.

I had compared him to the college player whose stock rises quickly after the season ends. It sounds like he's justified the interest. Let's see it in action now.
K D Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 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. Was just hoping to hear we have a plan in place for bringing in some big time coordinators rather than "I don't know, I value coaches at all levels...high school, division 3 college, I think for coordinator we want someone with some NFL experience...yea" Just voicing a concern of mine. No need for everyone to attack. We'll just have to wait and see. Thanks
Fadingpain Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Marrone to be interviewed live on GR-55 after the current commercial break.
