Big C Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Just like most DT's this year... Zing! Seriously though. Asking for an extension halfway through a 4 year contract and no playoff berths? If he is leaving over that. My goodness.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Is anyone seriously sad that he is leaving? Even if Schwartz goes too, this defense is a top-5 unit; 9-win club. I have to think people will be jumping to come here.
hondo in seattle Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Wow! Just got the text alert. I have to say I was surprised at the press conference when someone asked Marrone about the possibility of resigning and Berchtold (?) preempted Marrone's response saying that they would only accept questions regarding the 2014 season.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I like Marrone, this sux, he had his flaws but we became a much more physical team that never quit exccept now he is quiting along with his loser QB must not have liked working with Whaley, I'll be pissed if he succeeds somewhere else. Does Schwartz take over?
Mr. WEO Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Pegulas cleaning house! No Schwatrz or Reich, please
Dirtbag Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 st. doug beat the pats. i'm sure the jets are much impressed.
SJDK Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I wonder if they told him to fire Hackett and Morris, and Marrone pulled a Melarkey i would almost guarantee this is true. Just my opinion if course
NoSaint Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Must be Orton retiring put him over the edge...... Or like many have been saying he's been trying to suck up power in the front office and was checked when he was denied an extension
Fan in Chicago Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Those who wanted him gone and celebrating his departure - careful what you wish for. IMHO, Marrone was not the problem with this organization. OC and OL coach both were far bigger issues and now the baby has decided to jump before the bath water was readying for being thrown out. Schwartz should NOT be the HC.
boyst Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 john_kucko @john_kucko 3m3 minutes ago Doug Marrone told me, Russ Brandon &!a bunch of others that he would turn around the #Bills. Yeah right! BillsMafia Ben Volin @BenVolin 5m5 minutes ago So the #Bills beat the #Patriots in Foxborough on Sunday for the first time in 14 years..... then the QB retires and the head coach leaves
OldTimer1960 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 The decision to trade our first round pick in 2015 to move up to take Watkins will potentially hurt us in the search for a new head coach. Oh stop it. That isn't going to be a deciding factor for any serious HC candidate. This team has more talent than any other team looking for a coach - even SF, IMHO. I am really bummed to see Marrone go - I thought that he did an exceptional job, but if forced to pick between Marrone and Whaley, I'd have chosen Whaley. Still, this is a huge mess now. They *can* hold the assistants hostage (especially Schwartz), but any new HC is going to want his own assistants. So, expect to blow the whole thing up and star YET AGAIN. FWIW, I think Schwartz did a great job as DC and hope that he will stay in that capacity, but I'll be very concerned if he becomes the HC after the disastrous job he did in Detroit with similar or better talent.
Reed83HOF Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 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. I never though things would come to a head this year... Jeremy White @JeremyWGR 8m8 minutes ago Word is Marrone really had a hard time dealing with media/criticism. So..the Jets is the chatter eh? Heh.
SmokinES3 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) If it is true that Marrone gets paid in full for 2015 without any offset, the person who negotiated that deal should be fired. Everyone's favorite golden boy President/CEO Russ? Edited December 31, 2014 by SmokinES3
GunnerBill Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I just heard from a source at NFL UK that he is the 49ers number 1 candidate. I struggle to believe it just passing on what I have been told and the guy is close to Jim Tomsula.
YoloinOhio Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Prisco is such a d-bag @PriscoCBS: Geno Smith got better. That's a better option for Marrone. Oh, and they have a first-round pick. Bills don't. Remember?
