[QUOTE="cuseinchina, post: 727950, member: 3079"]
lets think this through. DM has his NFL job but it is one of the least desirable around and his likelihood of failure (whether his fault or due to the cards dealt) is at least 50/50. We have established here that he would never go back to the college game and would rather take a coordinator position in the NFL. O'Brien meanwhile is coveted by top teams in the NFL and may well have his pick of jobs, jobs that have a significantly higher probability of successful outcomes than the Bills job.
 
If Marrone is above all else self-interested (not that I would ever suspect something so negative about our heroic former coach) then he knows he may someday be looking to his good buddy Bill for a job. In a business where the stakes are so high financially, and evaluations are based on a relatively limited body of work, your allegiance to the team you used to coach might not mean too much (again assuming you are above all self-interested) - and EVERYBODY is trying to get some kind of an edge.
 
Given the track record of this guy I would be surprised if he DIDN'T offer up some help and precisely for the reasons everyone gave in justifying his leaving the way he did (it's a business and he had to do what was best for his career). Let the Marrone loving backlash ensue!!!
