They finished 1 - 10. the 1 win was against Tennessee. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/jax/2016.htm VP of operations Getting Dareus improved their run defense a lot. Who is responsible for that? I don't know My bad. I watched a lot of Jags football because I lived in the area and the feeling was they played a lot better during those last 3 games. And I felt that way as well. There was a distinct difference. As there was a distinct difference in how we performed after he replaced Chan Gailey. Coughlin contributed but he you can't attribute all of his success to Coughlin. To me, a team out performing their talent is a sign of good coaching and this year the Jags did that. He did it with Buffalo as well. The Steelers underperformed their talent, which is why I'm not high on Tomlin. 2

I thought he was an OK coach when he was here but I did not like hackett and I did not like his conservative nature. So when I heard he left I was like OK no big deal he would probably be fired anyway. But I thought the fact that he would take money and run and quit on 1 of 32 coaching jobs in the league was pretty lame, but I never said I hated the man.

What if he agreed that he probably would be fired, after basically getting told by the Pegulas that they didn't believe in him? He should've stayed for what purpose then?

Me saying he would probably be fired anyway was just my conjecture base on the previous 14 years.
freester Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 In hindsight, it was obvious he despised Whaley. Had we gotten a decent QB with Marrone and Schwartz we could have built a good team if we didn't have Whaley wasting draft picks on Sammy and EJ. 1

Stevie Ray Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I'll never understand the whole "quitter" issue. Forgetting about football and our love for this team, so anyone who isn't happy in their job due to the environment (Whaley, cough cough) that is out of their control, has to stay put? To appease fans? Can anyone here who is complaining about Marrone "quitting" honestly say that they would stay in their crappy job because its the right and moral thing to do? Hypocrisy. 1 2

I'm not a Marrone fan either (just in way he left the organization) .. but that hardly makes me want to root for the Pats .... I look at it this way ... .yesterday's game is really a compliment to our defense .. we held those guys to 10 points in their own house ... I hope they destroy NE
Like A Mofo Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Douglas Marrone left the Bills on bad terms: He had his reasons that we will probably never fully understand. He is a very good NFL Head Coach. No bitterness here. Maybe watching how Jacksonville has advanced to the AFC Championship should also give us a pause about Tyrod Taylor: Blake Bortles got the Jags there, and if the Bills can get Tyrod back to the 2015 Tyrod (25 total TD's 6 INT) level, and make the defense elite, who says Buffalo can't replicate this success?

But he has proven himself to be a decent NFL coach. Of course, when you look at the defensive talent he had this year it's not hard to see why. I don't think Marrone is that much better than the average NFL coach, but you could say the same thing about a lot of guys. I think the way that Marrone left the Bills was ****ty, but I do agree - there's probably a lot that went down with some people's golden boy - St. Doug Whaley that we have no idea about. 1 minute ago, Like A Mofo said: Douglas Marrone left the Bills on bad terms: He had his reasons that we will probably never fully understand.

ddaryl Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Nope I will harness all the bitterness some of you have left behind and apply it back to Maronne.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Doug Marrone teams are tough, physical, and bring attitude. We saw it here in Buffalo. If they kept that D together they would have made the playoffs. He also wanted Zack Martin over trading up for Watkins, that's why he left the draft room when the trade happened.

John in Jax Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 1 hour ago, Wayne Arnold said: Because he's a massive prick who preached "family" and "don't let anyone give you **** for being a Bill" and "don't confuse effort with results" and then bailed because he wasn't praised enough for a playoff-less 8-7 season. The same thing he did to Syracuse. F him. This x10. I also do not think he's a great coach, and that Coughlin has more to do with the Jags success right now. But there's no way I'm rooting for NE. Lol

I do . Tyrod can't throw. Tyord would have played it safe and protected his stats. The ONE thing you should have learned watching these playoff games is that Tyrod would never have kept our team in it.
apuszczalowski Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 So the fans could hate him anyways and they could have the satisfaction of getting to see him fired instead of leaving on his own.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 If the Jacksonville defense can make Tom Brady into a whiney little beyotch next Sunday, I'll light a candle in St. Doug's honor. 2

I'm one of the few who never had a problem with the guy. I don't think he did "great" in Buffalo, but it was his first NFL HC gig and it was the Bills during the most uncertain time in the history of the team. After seeing what kind of owners the Pegs were for those first two years, he did the right thing by taking the money and running. I'm glad he's doing well. 2
