Saint Doug Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I'm still trying to figure out WTF this means. Makes no sense at all. I think he meant: "it's hard to coach when you're expected to do your job and win football games". No coach should be under such pressure. That's a travesty. Poor Doug.
Beerball Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 What is the host of Wheel of Fortune doing weighing in on Marrone's decision? You're thinking of Bob Barker.
Dirtbag Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I'm still trying to figure out WTF this means. Makes no sense at all. i took it to mean that since marrone only had a year left on his contract, he was "under the gun." it still makes no sense. maybe dougie needed to be anointed coach for life to feel comfortable enough to coach properly.
Beerball Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 He didn't know that. At the time, it was best for Marrone to opt out for pure financial reasons. Love him saying that players should shut up. He's on point. Players shouldn't talk?
FireChan Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) If I couldn't stand my superiors and colleagues I might well do it, but I wouldn't skate with the money just because I could. I'm not that far from you on this. I think these guys should put themselves before the team, but that doesn't mean that everything else goes out the window. I'd have to be pretty disgruntled to do what Doug did; particularly to do it the way he did it. Completely agree, but behind closed doors, we'll never know how bad it was in the FO. I could see myself in Doug's shoes for this entire saga, except for the mass text. huh? whether fred is right or wrong has absolutely nothing to do with what i'm saying. fred has every right to voice his opinion -- as does anyone. it's clear that you think that players should shut up and only coaches should be allowed to speak. i disagree. He has every right, but that doesn't mean he should. What does Fred know about this situation? What does he know about the inner workings of the FO? More importantly, does he even have any applicable experience? Fred can go out and say ISIS is full of good guys. It doesn't mean he should, and it doesn't mean he's right. You have a right to say anything. I respect folks who don't pretend that the buck stops with them in terms of ethics and morality, especially in a conflicted business decision without all of the pertinent information. Players shouldn't talk? IMO, no. Not in this situation. Nothing good usually comes from players talking. Edited January 22, 2015 by FireChan

Especially since Fred is a captain and is approached very frequently for his thoughts. Is he just supposed to answer "no comment?"
rumblefish Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Fred said, Fred said that, it's all blab, blab, blab, Marrone is gone, get over it and move on

IMO. Edited January 22, 2015 by YoloinOhio
Beerball Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Nothing good usually comes from players talking. same could be said for folks on this board, yet, here we are
Casey D Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 FWIW, Tim Graham's take: Tim Graham@ByTimGraham · 1 hr1 hour ago More evidence reports of Bills offering Marrone extension likely were planted: @mikerodak talks with asst Fred Pagac http://es.pn/1E38V9n This is the only interesting thing here. Pegula would not extend anyone.
FireChan Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 same could be said for folks on this board, yet, here we are It could be. Yet, we don't have the media to plaster our quotes all over the internet, nor the clout of a professional athlete.
Best Player Available Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 i took it to mean that since marrone only had a year left on his contract, he was "under the gun." it still makes no sense. maybe dougie needed to be anointed coach for life to feel comfortable enough to coach properly. I think he had 2 years left on his contract, and was wanting an extension.
Malazan Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I've never heard anyone, ever say Fred Jackson talks too much.
The Wiz Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 It could be. Yet, we don't have the media to plaster our quotes all over the internet, nor the clout of a professional athlete.I'm curious what Fred said that was so detrimental to Marrone or his credibility? He was pretty gracious compared to marrone's former coach.
NoSaint Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I've never heard anyone, ever say Fred Jackson talks too much. He's had an unneeded comment or two through the years but gets a pretty free pass Edited January 22, 2015 by NoSaint

FireChan Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I'm curious what Fred said that was so detrimental to Marrone or his credibility? He was pretty gracious compared to marrone's former coach. I don't think specifically he said anything too egregious. I was talking more in generalities, and then someone brought up that Fred has "the right" to say anything about anyone. I didn't really have a huge problem with what he said about Dougie. So they should keep their mouths shut because people listen to them? Not necessarily. They should keep their mouths shut about things they know nothing about. No one bothers to correct your crazy uncle at dinner but if he had a following of 500k people, he better be very careful with what he says and how he says it. It's an inherent responsibility of having a large voice.
