Marone is a real good coach, it’s just all sour grapes here that make people think otherwise. If Whaley wasn’t forcing the eternal bust EJ down everyone’s throat, we probably could have been something. The 14 orton tean was the best Bills team in a very long time. The only team that even resembled an NFL passing game. To bad EJ blew that season in Houston. Expand We should’ve made the playoffs in both 15 & 16 with Tyrod... just saying.

Marrone has Coughlin. He set the tone. I like McD and what he brings. He is being tested right now, but that's OK. He'll do what needs to be done to fix this. Expand Are we sure. Nothing points to that? Every player he has brought in so far has underperformed. Hell one of them quit at halftime today. 3
Dr.Sack Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 I went with McD coz he actually took us to the playoffs. Marrone sucked. But McD is approaching such territory with his vapid ‘process’ cliches & platitudes.
Haslett_Stomp Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 It's all about personnel... Marrone walked into an almost-loaded team on the rise. Think of the '87 or '88 Bills. For better or worse, McD decided to purge the roster and start from scratch. Time will tell.
PlayoffsPlease Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Whaley was a disaster at every aspect of the GM job. If the Bills had given Marrone the level of control that McDermott has now and brought in a real GM, rather than force Marrone to work with the Brandon/Whaley Jr. High level circus, the Bills might be where Jacksonville is now.

Kirby Jackson Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Doug Marrone is a really good football coach and an a-hole.
Iverwig Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Better question might be who is the better GM Beane or Whaley?

He left knowing he would get paid regardless Expand The front office that gave him that contract should be the target of your ire. Marrone's a D-Bag, but walking away has proven to be the right move for him. 1

SoTier Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Marrone by a mile if for nothing else but that he was smart enough to realize he's not Bill Belichick or Andy Reid to be both HC and defacto GM at the same time.
Buftex Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 On 9/16/2018 at 11:46 PM, Returntoglory said: They also inherited a horrid salary cap situation Expand Well, I know what you are saying, but they (McDermot/Beane) kind of brought that on themselves to a degree. They got rid of some very talented players, and created a lot of "dead money" issues for the cap. I understand why they did it, but they could have kept a lot of those players, and dedicated themselves to caoching them up, rather than just getting rid of them. Guys like Dareus and Sammy might have not been their type of guys, but they weren't without talent. So, they get rid of them prematurely, creating dead money that they can't use to replace them with, and the performance of the team suffers, in the short term. Hopefully, they know what they are doing...next year they should have money to be able to build a much better roster...though, some of the free agent signings they made this year, so far, don't look like money well spent...trust the process. I still do, but excuses run out next year, for me.
HOF4LOU Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Are wade Phillips, Frank Reich, Anthony Lynn, Steve Scwartz better than McD?
Freddie's Dead Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Screw Maroon and the horse he rode in on.
Another Fan Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Hard to say, I’d imagine if McDermott was the Jags coach now he’d be fairing better. Didnt like Marrone but it sounded like he was coaching through an organizational crap show when he was here. Plus there was the threat to move as well. I guess time time will tell overall
Bing Bong Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Yeah Doug Marrone can get production out of Dareus. I don't care if somebody is a lazy good for nothing squander of immense talent, that probably smokes weed too much and talks back to his coach.. if he's talented. LAWRENCE TAYLOR WOULDN'T BE A PROCESS PLAYER. You know what that tells me, McD is too chicken**** to do a large portion of his job description (motivating spoiled brats with money to play football) that he gives up and gives the character excuse. I:d take a coach that can get a cracked out 3 nights sleepless LT to be a monster and get 7 sacks over a coach that's too scared of one of the best players ever. Beane takes the easy way out by claiming he has a process 5-6 years so he has a rats *** of retaining his job. McD takes the easy way out refusing to work with difficult talent. Andre Holmes must spend his free time saving puppies to justify his spot. I'm sure he's really "coachable" but he's a crap receiver. McD would be terrified of Randy Moss. Rebuilding a team on character isn't what a good team does. They rebuild on players that regardless of what they do in their free time; they can be motivated by a good coach to beat ass on Sunday and cocaine binge to celebrate. 1 1

What say you? Expand I say that in his first two years as HC, Marrone made a lot of newbie mistakes. He took over a roster that was good but not great, and it was improved significantly between his first and second years by draft and FA acquisitions Marrone seems to have learned something in his 2nd gig, and to be benefiting by taking over an even more talented roster and having the support of a top FO.
