They took the job but he didn't have to offer them it. If he believes that this is the only way to success for himself and the Bills, so be it. But that aim also runs up against his stated desire to do whatever he can to ensure the future success of Syracuse football. Obviously that means substantially less to him than he's made out. And I'm not convinced that the path that Marrone has taken is the best way to ensure his success with the Bills but we'll see about that.  There are plenty of qualified coaches out there that would jump at the chance of coaching in the pros. I don't think that he had to do it this way but he did.
 
Yes, this is a business and Marrone's only real obligation is to his current employer. However, we need to remember that Marrone didn't just help SU so we should just "forgive and forget." That attitude is harder for me to adopt because of what Syracuse gave him. Does he have a NFL HC job without Syracuse hiring him? I don't know. Maybe. But it's hard to question that his stop here didn't help his coaching career. Maybe it's just me, but as a former coach and more importantly as a former player, I think he owes this program a little more respect than he's given it.
