Marrone leaving the Bills

Apparently Buffalo was no more dreamy than Syracuse.

Now Western NY knows what SU fans felt like 2 years ago. This guy will soon have a bad label as a coach among NFL owners, if he doesn't already. Nick Saban has jumped from one spot to another, but he at least won at one level. This guy is exceptionally mediocre.

Seriously, if I ever saw this type of behavior in business, I wouldn't even interview this guy, much less actually hire him. At some point, loyalty and your word does matter.

Reports are he asked for an extension for himself and his staff, and was refused. Hard to blame him for that.
 
Maybe Dougie could use some of that $4M to buyout the contracts of his Asst Coaches?

That's weird that he can opt out And walk off with $4M.

How about get into the playoffs before you start making demands? The guy is in the results business and by some standards has done nothing. Both teams he ran made improvements, but one could argue he had nowhere else to go but up.

I question his ability to actually lead at team into success.

I understand he wanted an extension, but owners/GMs will only blame him for this pattern that is developing. Every stop so far seems to have an excuse. It will catch up to him pretty soon.
 
Well, if he does go to the Jets and he brings his staff with him, there's going to be at least four guys who will be serving a second stint with the Jets - Marrone, Rob Moore, Donnie Henderson, Pepper Johnson.
Not sure if I missed anyone else.

They were already putting him "on the hot seat" going into the season and wouldn't extend him. Loyalty is a two way street. He starts slow next year, and he'd be right back "on the hot seat."

In the coaching ranks especially in football it is common for one or two year stints. Listening to coaches talk at clinics and reading their resumes is like taking a tour of colleges. Granted it's not as common with head coaches, but most college coaching resumes are not pictures of long tenures.

A month ago people wondered who the Pegulas would hire as their HC. Why shouldn't he ask for the extension (just like he did at SU)? When told nothing was coming, he did the best thing for him and his staff and left for another opportunity instead of being a lame-duck.
 
As a Jets fan, I don't want Marrone. But as an SU fan, I've love to see Anselmo come home to coach in Green. I love that guy.

Man, Saint Doug got some seriously good advice somewhere along the line! His agent? Maybe his wife is an expert in contractural law?

Good for you, Doug!

It pays to be smart….or hire smart people! No one was talking about this when he signed his deal. Now he is a "Free agent" at a time when several good NFL jobs are available. Doug …knows how to promote Doug….can't fault him for that….

Don't hate Doug because he is smart. He used the leverage in his contract, which was great pro-active thinking by his agent, to create a situation that works beset for HIM! The Bills did not show signs of committing to him…now he can leave without any penalty, on his own terms, and pick another NFL job with a better chance to be successful long term. Would not surprise me..if he is the next Falcons Coach!

It's a smart move, not just for the money. If he's not the owner and GM's guy the clock is ticking anyway. Why not get out now when good HC jobs are open instead of waiting around to get fired?

Bingo. Not to mention that he's still a "hot name" in the NFL and we all know how quickly that changes.

Works out for everyone. Nothing pegula could do about the four mil. Marrone asked for the extension to find out if pegula liked him. He got his answer. Brandon the snake oil salesman is so dumb. I'm so glad his power is dwindling
 
Coach ej Manuel or coach somewhere else with an extra four million. No brainer if the job is there. He'll it might be worth rolling the dice even if you don't. Who wouldn't take an extra four million when you know the owner is indifferent to you.
 
Someone get Axe a drink and tell him to relax. Dude is not taking this news very well.
