machine gun kelly Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 The crazy thing with Marrone is he had two years left on his contract so he could have come off a winning year, built on it for next year, and even if they fired him, he would have another $4 mil for 2016. He doesn't have a snowball's chance at Denver. His only chance might be Atlanta as it's been reported often Blank is a tough owner to work under, so some may be avoiding that job. I believe there is a chance he never gets another NFL HC shot. He's probably heading back to college.
vincec Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) I don't think that Marrone would be a good fit with a veteran team like Denver. He's bound to have friction with the players. Especially if Manning retires and he has to start with no quarterback again. I think that at this point in his career Marrone would be better off going back to college. He might be a better fit as a college HC anyway. Edited January 17, 2015 by vincec
Rockinon Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 If Kubiak gets a job, he'll throw Marrone a bone.
MDH Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Saint Doug never saw a challenge he didn't love running away from.
billsfan89 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) It might be too late in the game for Marrone to get a college job (Recruiting is already on the way) so he might just sit back and collect that 4 million and try to pry a college job next year. Edited January 17, 2015 by billsfan89
NoSaint Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 This brings back the weird episode that Pegula recounted the first time he met Marrone, when Marrone cut short their meeting because he had to go coach a team. Seemed a bizarre move to me at the time, and it explains a lot more in retrospect. Hadn't heard that one. I assume there will be enty more though
Disinterested Observer Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 That town is not big enough for both Marrone' s and Elways egos.
eball Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 If Kubiak gets a job, he'll throw Marrone a bone. Disagree. I don't see anyone (other than perhaps one of Moron's old cronies like Bill O'Brien in Houston) who feels sorry for a guy who just quit a HC job and took $4M. Now, if the "real" story behind the scenes is that Pegula planned to fire Moron and the opt out was a way to save face, my perception changes a little bit -- but that never will excuse how Moron badmouthed the organization to Polian upon exiting.

Bad Luck Bad Timing Bad Karma So far Bad Karma is the dominant response I don't know what's worse, the poll or not spelling his name correctly.
ChevyVanMiller Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Don't worry about Dougie, he's turned his NFL lemons into BBQ lemonade.
Captain Hindsight Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 If Kubiak gets a job, he'll throw Marrone a bone. Why? Do they have a history together? Disagree. I don't see anyone (other than perhaps one of Moron's old cronies like Bill O'Brien in Houston) who feels sorry for a guy who just quit a HC job and took $4M. Now, if the "real" story behind the scenes is that Pegula planned to fire Moron and the opt out was a way to save face, my perception changes a little bit -- but that never will excuse how Moron badmouthed the organization to Polian upon exiting. In the Rex presser, TP and Russ both said they were shocked. He quit on the team. Plain and simple
3rdand12 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Did we ever learn which team it was? Hilarious Coach !! btw http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/01/16/broncos-confirm-vance-joseph-interview/

Niagara Dude Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 "He's not going to embarrass you," Spiller said. "He's going to treat you like an NFL player. He's not going to baby you. He's not going to treat you like you're in college. He's going to treat you like you're a grown man. He's going to give you respect." Who do you think Spiller is talking about here?

bananathumb Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Marrone backed out of Denver interview "to explore other options" according to NFL Network. Options like what?

Bad Luck Bad Timing Bad Karma So far Bad Karma is the dominant response They should probably add "bad coach" to this list. I think he assumed he had the wool pulled over the league's eyes in terms of his coaching acumen after leading the Bills to a 9-7 season. Well, actually he probably legitimately believes he is a world class football coach... either way, I think that the league has picked up on a lot of the complaints many of us had about him. If he doesn't land a head coaching job, I think it's further validation that he's not a great coach, the experts in the league know it, and we're lucky he bailed when he did.

bflobrn Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Per NFL Network...Ian Rappaport, Marrone cancels interview with Broncos to evaluate other "options".
