buffaloboyinATL Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 The PTI crew was just joking about what a career mistake Marrone just made. Bills fans are not the only ones that recognize what a fool he is.
ALLEN1QB Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Guess the interview didn't go well Dougie haha. Can't wait to destroy that line in London
BarleyNY Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Has he started screaming at his Offensive Coordinator yet?
Greybeard Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 It's a real shame the Bills play the Jags this year. I hear it takes two years for Marrone to work his real magic on an Offensive Line.
Bubba Gump Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Would love to see the Bills pitch a shutout in that London game. You know the Bills defense will be fired up. Just to see that all too familiar dumbfounded look on Marrone's face would be priceless.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 This is great. Now all that needs to happen is the Jags to hire Hackett as their OC. To the Bills fans still wanting to hate. The man did do an excellent job as the Jets O line coach, and so much so that his past players, and HoF RB Curtis Martin have nothing but praise for the guy. This job could elevate him back into consideration for another head coaching job if he does it well. I disliked Marrone mostly because of his hiring a complete NFL newbie OC in Nathaniel Hackett. He did get the DC's right tho. Ten years ago. Yet you don't give any credit to anything else that happened five or ten years ago.
FluffHead Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 @ThomWGR: "Some Douggie That I Used To Know." http://t.co/QT4h32k44b That was horrible. I would've been less tortured if the link was to a peter pan pixieland photo How dare you! Thomas Cich's creativity rivals Van Gogh and he has a voice that is a combination of Fergy and Jesus.
Beef Jerky Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Already had this marked as a W but Marrone cemented the W for the Bills.
Fredo G. Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 How pathetic does Marrone look for having the "Asst. Head Coach" thrown in there. Dude is an oline coach.Uh Gus do you want Burger King again.. Classic!
jimmy10 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Oh this is just brilliant. Must-read.Great link, great read. Thanks for sharing. "And so here we are in mid-January. Marrone, who Colin Cowherd has now acknowledged was his MYSTERY CANDIDATE for the Michigan job throughout much of December, has taken an assistants job with a made-up title with one of the worst NFL franchises. Itll only be 10 months or so until NFL and college insiders are again touting a man who had a 15-17 record in Buffalo and quit on his team as a viable option for each nascent opening." Boom.

Ozymandius Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 He might never be a head coach in the NFL again. Will be interesting to see what happens with Schwartz, too.
TakeYouToTasker Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Assistant to the Traveling Secretary.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Marrone and Mularkey together. Interesting conversation they must have.

DrDawkinstein Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) That is mostly incorrect. Players are employees just like any other members of the organization including the coaches. They receive (very complex) W-2's. You are correct that income gets taxed in the states that the team plays, but it is not quite that simple. As maddenboy pointed out, residency factors in importantly in this equation. If a player is a NY resident then they will pay tax on their worldwide income (just like we all do) and they will take a tax credit for the taxes paid to other states. As far as I would hazard a guess, Marrone is probably still a NY resident and will pay tax on any income he receives as long as he remains one, regardless of where it was earned. Interestingly (at least to me) there is no special tax code for athletes, these same rules apply to widget salesmen, lawyers, etc. The technology doesn't exist (yet) to enforce the rules against the average person and there is not enough money in it for the states to go after, but obviously there is with the athletes and their schedules are readily accessible, so many think these rules only apply to them. Also, most of the high profile court cases in this area involve athletes. Thanks for the info. I was just going off what the players said in the 30 for 30: Broke documentary.

powerbroker Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Obviously O Line coach, excuse me Asst Head Coach - Offense, isn't the way Dougie and Jimmy thought this would play out. However it keeps his name in play and if the Jags need a mid season course correction .... St. Doug is in the wings more than willing and somewhat able. If I was with the NSA I would have tapped his phone just to hear every chapter of this story. It's how he left not that he left that bothers this fan. With hindsight it can be argued that once out of the playoffs Marrones goal was to build a resume not the Bills. And that resume along with the opt out clause would lead to a bigger payday if not with the Bills another team. Yes, Dougie get his 4 mill and he doesn't even have to pass go however had he led the team to the 2015 playoffs he would be in line for a contract north of 20 million and that's a lot to leave on the table. Currently a blow to his ego not his pocketbook but if he doesn't find a head job in 2016 he will have to look at other options. FWIW a friend who was in for a big pay day established residency in Florida many months before the transaction officially happened. Concerns about tax laws and anticipatory income.

NoSaint Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I took a swing by the Jags board, not one of the registered TBD commentors, but I am astonished at how happy they are with the hire. Really odd. I get being OK with it, I get being neutral, and try rose colored glasses, but they are all really happy about it with no negativity. I credit it to they don't know much about football. Makes me appreciate this place more, even if I don't agree with all of you. Unless you closely followed situations like urbik/pears I think most here would be equally optimistic. Heck, we were when we got him as a head coach.
eball Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 @AroundTheNFL: Gus Bradley not worried about Doug Marrone joining Jaguars' coaching staff http://t.co/eHN068eYvY Not worried? He HIRED the guy!
gordong Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 But Lacanfora said he was the leading candidate for the ravens OC opening! What happened? SHOCKED, SHOCKED I'll tell you!!!!
YoloinOhio Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 Not worried? He HIRED the guy! ""I really didn't get into that with him," Bradley, the head coach of the South team here at the 2015 Senior Bowl, said. "For me, it was obviously that he was a good teacher, developer and person. The topics we talked about, I think one thing that's really important is humility and if you have humility, you can identify your weaknesses and get better at those and I just felt a great sense of humility." !!!!!
