KD in CA Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 He is in a better position today then if he stayed. Well done Doug Marrone. Yup. Lot of jilted brides on this board.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Can you really use Doug and plan in the same sentence? sarcasm people So did Rex? OK, I know that a win is a win, and you are what your record says you are, but he could so easily have been 8-8 if NE GAF in the last game of 2014. Then next year Rex was 8-8 and this year if we GAF in the last game of 2016 we'd be 8-8. I'm kinda seeing a distinction without a difference here. Rex had a better offense and ruined our defense, Marrone wins
Kelly the Dog Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 sarcasm people Rex had a better offense and ruined our defense, Marrone wins Marrone did nothing for our defense and ruined our offense. Both lose.
dezertbill Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Bottom line is Marrone found a way to finish above 500 with Manuel and Orton at QB. Think about that While running the Jags Blake Bortles had arguably his best games for total passing yards and completion percentage. If the Jags can improve in defense in that weak division Marrone has a chance to rise above and win.
QCity Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Bottom line is Marrone found a way to finish above 500 with Manuel and Orton at QB. Think about that If I'm Doug Marrone that's the top line on my resume, and it's going up in a bold 24pt font.
Malazan Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Well, Marrone was at least smart enough to hire good DCs. Too bad he could never do anything with the parts of the team he actually coached.
YoloinOhio Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Funny that marrone, coughlin and Caldwell are all from some part of New York Draft Chad Kelly?

dezertbill Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Funny that marrone, coughlin and Caldwell are all from some part of New York Draft Chad Kelly? true but marrone ran the offense which was horreeeble Again he was working with EJ Manuel and Kyle Orton. A good QB in that offense and we would have made the playoffs.
YoloinOhio Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Again he was working with EJ Manuel and Kyle Orton. A good QB in that offense and we would have made the playoffs.i agree! Too bad he has Bortles.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 @si_nfl The Jaguars's revamped front office opts for continuity hiring Doug Marrone as head coach (by @ChrisBurke_SI) http://on.si.com/2i7uNwV
Bills Fan in MD Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 So it's Marrone vs. Mularkey twice a year by virtue of being in the same division. Looking forward to "I quit the Bills" Bowls II and III next year.
Manther Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 I seriously can't believe his scheme came to fruition. By the way, it is virtually impossible to downgrade from the Bills HC job, and yet Marrone was able to do it. Agreed on all accounts.
Big Turk Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Obviously Again he was working with EJ Manuel and Kyle Orton. A good QB in that offense and we would have made the playoffs. And you can expect the OLine to get worse every year he remains there...
White Linen Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 He looks and sounds the part so I can see the draw.
chris heff Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Coughlin as Executive VP of Football Operations, Dave Caldwell remains on as GM. Jacksonville got their czar! Not going to work.
NoSaint Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 The good lord won't save him if he keeps Hackett as his OC. If he treated OC like he did D.C. and just hired the best he could, he would still be here and we would be in the playoffs several times. It's odd he and Hackett are such an item
GRHater69 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I like Caldwell, he's brought in some good talent there, but they don't have a proven QB unless they can somehow salvage Bortels who regressed in the past two seasons under Hackett. If you really examine St. Doug's 9-7 with the Bills it has a lot of holes. There was a season ending win against the Patriots B team that pushed the team over .500. I'd also be willing to wager that those 4 wins over the NFC North came as a direct result of his DC Jim Schwartz having A LOT of experience drawing up game plans against those teams since he coached in that division. And let's not forget how they needed a late season win in Oakland and went out there and got beat by what was a bad Raiders team with an interim HC. That game along with the Patriots resting their starters could have put the Bills in better playoff contention. Don't get me started on all the punts inside the 40 either!
