Marrone To The Jags...

[Bill Orange]

...Associate Head Coach/OL.

 

[Finwad32]

Wow. It might only be a hold over for a year, but, how the mighty have fallen.

He'll be back to HC soon.

 

[TheCusian]

Getting paid by two NFL teams to do less work is not a bad way to spend a year away.

NFL types talk big about blacklisting someone - but they hire them right back after the dust settles.

 

[samspann1]

Have they hired an OC yet?

The GM and owner don't have to deal with Saint Douglas as the assistant HC/OL coach.

Me thinks he'll be at that level (or coordinator) for awhile.

Doubt it.

Dream job, I presume?

 

[Alsacs]

So basically Doug will be the interim coach when the Jags fire Gus Bradley after their bye week next year.

Jacksonville is two years away from being competitive.

 

[Orange4]

Assistant Head Coach to a 1st year Head Coach can't imagine that went well with Bradley but at the same time Bradley has no say. Not even a week into the job and the guy is already getting screwed over. Welcome to the big leagues!

 

[JHarris44]

Interesting that Jacksonville doesn't have an Offensive Coordinator...Does Hackett come with? Does Doug slide into that role? Do they leave it open and who calls the plays?

Another item that might be only interesting to me is that I see a lot of similarities between Nassib and Bortles.

Lots of times, taking a step away from being the BMOC does wonders upon returning to a head coaching role. In any sport.

[rrlbees]

He's not OC?

"It's always been a dream to coach the Jacksonville Jaguars offensive line. I feel like I've been preparing for this my whole life."

 

[cmr27]

Talk about deflated balls.

This coming season will be Bradley's second year. They like the job he did in the 1st year. They were more competitive as the season wore on.

doug marrone will NEVER be a NFL HC...EVER again.

mark.

it.

down.


if theres a hedge, its if he wins a National Championship in college and some sad-sack franchise gives him a shot...against the better wishes of 31 other teams.

but hes not going to win and he likely wont get a job there either.

 

[BuffOrange]

Jacksonville OL coach? With this career arc he's on track to lock up the West Genny water boy position by 2018.

He is positioned to be interim HC when Jacksonsville's crazy owner eventually fires Gus Bradley. Bradley is 7-25(two of those 7 are against a Tennessee team trying to lose and the NYG giving them the game) in two years. He could get popped next yr if the Jags start off bad.

Agree 100%. He played a very high stakes game of poker and lost... badly!
I can't imagine in any iteration of the possible outcomes he considered when quitting his job, missing out on 6 head coaching jobs available immediately was thought to be remotely possible, or likely.

If he does not get a HC job next year (and why would he? He would have been associated with quitting on the Bills, and does anyone think the Jags will be over .500? Who would hire the Oline coach from a sub .500 team?), the last remaining straw to grab at to present this in a positive light (booking two incomes) will be gone, and he will be making O line money going forward. It's called reaping what you sow...

 

[djorange1989]

Does getting the OL/Associate HC job in Jacksonville help him reach sainthood?

 

[PhatOrange]

Whats happened to Adkins and Anselmo?

Id hire Adkins back to coach our OLine

my bad, 3rd year.

Worked out pretty well for that guy in New England. Of course, to be fair, he was considered a guru in his specialty whereas Marrone is not. I'll remain an interested observer.

 

[Alsacs]

I would take Marrone back as the HC of SU in a cocaine heartbeat over what we have now. I was harsh on Marrone but he was a coach who prepared our team well every week.
