PostRalphEra Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) If true, that is just unreal. @ByTimGraham:Well-placed source: Polian's decision on Bills shifted in past day. Major factor in change of heart was talking to Marrone, who ripped org. @ByTimGraham: Everything was lined up for Polian to return to Bills just 24 hours ago. But he is a big fan of Marrone's and trusts his opinion. Edited January 1, 2015 by PostRalphEra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv shitz Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I'm glad the miserable prick is gone, now to get rid of Russ Brandon, and a new Start. F*%K off, Doug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Wow. This is just crazy. Sure makes me wonder about the whole thing just blowing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Well, at the press conference Marrone himself said he texted "the owner" about Orton retiring and then touched base with Russ to tell Whaley that it happened. The obvious question? Why not just talk to Whaley yourself, Saint Doug? The probable answer: they were barely on speaking terms.

boyst Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) I'm fine with this. Polian was very good to us in the past. Tomorrow means nothing. edit: I am not fine with Marrone bad mouthing the team. That is highly unprofessional and shows that he is not very well up to speed on the workings of the upper echelon of management. You don't burn bridges, you don't run the gambit of closing doors, especially in such a tight knit community. The NFL will remember this and karma will, too. Marrone must win it all and quickly in NY or he is surely done and back in the NCAA in 4 years. Edited January 1, 2015 by jboyst62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I put way more stock in what Polian told Vic, whom he's had a long-time relationship with. TG speculates a lot, and IMO tries to couch his thoughts as "news." Don't have a lot of respect for him, frankly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polian told Vic that the job changed. That they lost their QB and coach and it was all falling apart and it was too much for him to want to get into.

bladiebla Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) So much for changing the culture, the culture beat Marrone, plus you have to wonder if this is a statement of trust in EJ by Marrone... Bottomline, Pegula needs to do an exit interview with Marrone and fire all the lifers from the organisation, instantly.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I put way more stock in what Polian told Vic, whom he's had a long-time relationship with. TG speculates a lot, and IMO tries to couch his thoughts as "news." Don't have a lot of respect for him, frankly... I don't see how those two different reports contradict each other at all. Polian is being a little more diplomatic with his reports to Vic. Graham, as reporter, is saying behind the scenes stuff that a guy like Polian or Marrone would ever allow themselves to be quoted as.

seq004 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 What a pos if in fact true, yet seems curious to me seeing how many people Polian still knows at OBD why would he just take Marrone's word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That they lost their QB and coach and it was all falling apart and it was too much for him to want to get into. That "who ripped the organization" line is pure TG innuendo/speculation at it's finest. Polian wouldn't have let a second-year coach's opinion influence him if he thought the job description Pegs outlined was still the same.

White Linen Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I find this total BS. The fact Graham put this out there speaks to how ridiculous he's become. He's not connected in anyway and acts like a true amateur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heels20X6 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Pegula has a vision to turn this franchise around. If it means costing us a mediocre quitter in Marrone and a guy, by some accounts has had the game pass him by, so be it. This also means that Polian's idiot son comes nowhere near this franchise too.

Ted William's frozen head Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 LOL. Kinda sounds like youre speculating that TG is speculating. To me, it seems unlikely that Polian would hang his potential future on whatever Marrone was ranting about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be true. Everyone knows Pegula is an A-hole and if you can't work with everyone's darling Doug Marrone clearly you're the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
