I'm still pulling for Marrone, but this season is not going to be easy in Buffalo after losing two huge pieces on that Defense.  Doug did alot to bring SU out of the trenches and it wore on him.  I have no doubt he had to give his all to get SU to those final 2 bowl games.  I think that like most people, Doug just doesn't handle pressure well.  The offense that Marrone and Hackett put together in Nassib's final year was actually a thing of beauty.  He got out when he realized things just weren't going to be getting easier anytime soon.

Marrone will find a job after this season if it doesn't work out in Buffalo and whatever team lands him will be getting a quality coach, be it OC or head coach.  I think he'd be able to find a HC position back in college, but I just don't think he's built for that.  Let's all not forget that Belichick had to flop in Cleveland before getting hired 5 years later by NE and hitting gold with the Tom Brady pick and becoming the messiah of the NFL.  I'm a true believer that coaches have to fail before they can succeed.
