Message: [QUOTE="Zcuse, post: 1270515, member: 3001"] It does not make perfect sense as Marrone had 2 years remaining on his contract at $4m per year, and the team wanted him to and expected him to stay. That $8m (final two years of contract) would be owed even if he got fired after next season. He booked $4m by quitting mid-contract; and is now likely earning under $1m/year for the for-seeable future as an O-line coach. The only way it can make sense financially (which is basically the only argument one can make as to how this made sense for DM-unless you think he preferred a demotion to O line coach) is if he ends up getting a Head Coaching role next year. Good luck with that... bad decision all around. To the other point, his agent planted multiple rumors to put Doug in a better light (turned down an extension, Bills would not extend his assistants, was still fuming about giving up the draft picks, etc).
