nucci Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Gilmore couldnt hold Revis' jock. Why would he want to?
BringBackFergy Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Marrone is here to kick ass and chew bubble gum....and he's fresh out of bubble gum. I'm lovin this guy already. Him, Brandon, Whaley and Buddah said they were gonna get right to work. While other teams are floundering around interviewing more coaches, looking for GM's, OC's, DC's, having media day to talk about tattoos.....the Bills are quietly getting all their ducks in a row and gettin stuff done. It seems they have a plan and they are getting right into the meat of that plan without looking back. This hire is particularly interesting with his AFC experience and our problems against the Jets the last few seasons. Go Bills!!!
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Hmmm....Jets are releasing Bart Scott....maybe he comes to Buffalo to help our kids out? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKnG06-oYcg I can't stand Scott. His bark is much louder than his bite. He's done and if you doubt it, watch him in coverage vs. Shane Vereen. Edited January 9, 2013 by C.Biscuit97
BillsFanM.D. Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Lots to be excited about here. Taking a perceived 'excellent' coach (who has over a decade of NFL experience) from a division rival makes for a good day. Keep in coming....
Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Love this hire but please tell me this doesnt mean Mario playing LB. Also, I noticed that Marrone hasnt named an assistant HC yet. Think this title may go to Petine? CBF Edited January 9, 2013 by Canadian_Bills_Fan
Fan in Chicago Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Him, Brandon, Whaley and Buddah said they were gonna get right to work. While other teams are floundering around interviewing more coaches, looking for GM's, OC's, DC's, having media day to talk about tattoos..... Go Bills!!! This aspect struck me yesterday. It is just 10 days since our season ended and the Gailey era seems like such a distant memory. I can't recall when I forgot about an ex-coach in such a short amount of time. In just a few days, we have witnessed a shift in the top power structure, hiring of a new HC, DC and OC ! Let the player evaluations begin.
cale Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Now this hire, I LOVE! Good coach. Strategic advantage in the division. I have a feeling we'll be drafting a linebacker in Round 1. Or getting one in FA. Or both.
The Poojer Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 holy crap...when is opening day???? I am loving these moves...i know completely unproven, but i love it!!!!!

buffalo1983 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 @NickBarnett: Looks like we got a new DC.. Nice hire!!

Think this title may go to Petine? CBF Nobody knows about 3-4, 4-3 or 46. Best part is that Pettine has coached variations of them all (see Jets of recent years). Not to mention Mario was seemingly adjusting very well in Wade's 3-4 in Houston. Enjoy the fact that we got a coach who will scheme based on his personnel and not spend the season trying to ram a square peg in a round hole.
bobobonators Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Multiple reports have said he declined an extension. hey SDS, i simply copied/pasted that from rotoworld.com (sorry for not referencing the site)
Fixxxer Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 As long as he is aggresive I don't care what front we play. If Pettine is a good teacher we might be a good defense from game 1.

Let the player evaluations begin. Change has never come this fast at OBD. Things really are different now. I salute everyone who said Ralph had to go. He was holding us back. You were right. But also hats off to Russ Brandon. The guy is getting things done. PTR
BillsFanM.D. Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 As long as he is aggresive I don't care what front we play. If Pettine is a good teacher we might be a good defense from game 1. True. The front office seems to be setting the tone of aggression....hope it carries all the way through.
Dibs Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 He's too young....um....he's a Daddy's Boy coach....hmmm....he was a puppet to Rex? Seriously, the only think I can think of that is negative about this hire is that in 3 years we may lose him to an NFL HC job. Awesome news!!!

Let the player evaluations begin. I know....exciting. I can see quite a few players let go based on these hires: they are bringing in new blood at the top levels of the organization. That has to convert to new players on the field.
Saint Doug Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Seriously, the only think I can think of that is negative about this hire is that in 3 years we may lose him to an NFL HC job. If he does well, I think this may be sooner. I guess it's a good problem to have. Better than nobody wanting him. Edited January 9, 2013 by kas23
Wayne Cubed Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Always loved his attitude on Hard Knocks. Seemed super aggressive and got in the faces of players etc.
