Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 1092375, member: 2265"] I think if I were Gross and I had a guy like Shafer on the staff, I might view him as a good alternative if I could not hire a so-called name coach (retread?). With his record (which is all that matters to most) it is not hard to believe Marrone had a target on his back. As a matter of fact, if Gross was not thinking of how much longer to give Doug, hew wouldn't be doing his job. DM was under severe criticism by probably the majority of observers until the late season 2012 turn around. Really good coaches get fired all the time because they have mission impossible or they just run out of time. IMO anything is believable. [/QUOTE]
