MattM Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I'd bet he's already got another job lined up (perhaps the Raiders with Brandon?) that he thinks will give him at least two more years in the NFL (absent a Cleveland/Chud situation) vs. Buffalo where he'd clearly be gone if they don't make the playoffs next year. I also hope for his sake that he counted on the fact that after he fails out of that next job, leaving the Bills like this will be a black mark on his record and may make his next (after the one he's got lined up) employer think long and hard about hiring him at any level. Actually, the way he left, no, I don't really hope that--in fact, I hope that that is exactly what happens to him--one and done elsewhere and then unemployed. What a classless way to leave--and I was one of the folks who hoped he'd stay. Our only hope now is that he left because there are bigger things in the wings. Odd on that are slim and none and Slim just left town.... Edited December 31, 2014 by MattM
voodoo poonani Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Paul Peck @PeckOnSports 33s34 seconds ago I don't think anyone at 1 Bills Dr is sad to see Marrone go. I hear he just wore people out with his miserable attitude. I have heard the same thing. He was part of the reason some people left (although not the only). I can't say I'm sad to see him go. Funny though that both coaches that got us 9 wins, up and left.
macaroni Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I wonder if they told him to fire Hackett and Morris, and Marrone pulled a Melarkey
Hazed and Amuzed Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 My best guess is they asked him to fire Hacket. He decided to opt out
seq004 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Tim Graham @ByTimGraham 17s17 seconds ago League source: Marrone asked Pegulas for an extension and was told no. He then asked for extensions for his assistants and was told no. Wow so basically he was fired.
respk Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Shocked to say the least. When someone decides to leave make sure to close the door fast enough that they can't change their mind. It's not about what the Bills lost, it's about what they get to do now and that is to pick a better coach. We'll just see if they do. What a year for the Bills. This is exciting stuff! Can't wait to see how all the changes at One Bills Drive take shape!
HalftimeAdjustment Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Rex can get his foot in the door now.
YoloinOhio Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 @EWood70: Wow... That caught me off guard for sure

This decision related to Orton's retirement at all? Edited December 31, 2014 by SmokinES3

He then asked for extensions for his assistants and was told no. If that is the case, then I am totally fine with Pegula's decision. I thought Marrone was actually doing a very good job, but no way had he earned an extension, and there is certainly no reason to extend any coach on the offensive side of the ball.
NoSaint Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Paul Peck @PeckOnSports 33s34 seconds ago I don't think anyone at 1 Bills Dr is sad to see Marrone go. I hear he just wore people out with his miserable attitude. I was just making mountains out of mole hills when I said the events seemed to be adding up publicly and there were likely more behind closed doors! I'm surprised he's gone this year, but not shocked to hear it was very close to unworkable keeping him.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 @EWood70: Wow... That caught me off guard for sure Just like most DT's this year...
Rico Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Very Meathead-esque. So long, good luck, and goodbye Doug... here's to Brandon being the next to go.
Reed83HOF Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Wow so basically he was fired. It's on like a MOFO
jahnyc Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 If it is true that Marrone gets paid in full for 2015 without any offset, the person who negotiated that deal should be fired.
NoSaint Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Wow so basically he was fired. Not in the slightest. He asked for more and quit when denied
YoloinOhio Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Wow @mikerodak: Bills safety RT @ajwilliams23: Lost all respect!! Completely pissed off, but not gonna let it ruin my New Years #Deuces #CantWait
Kelly the Dog Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I like the Pegulas even more now. Didnt think that was possible.
