He coached the team to a 9-7 record this season despite:
 
1. The best we could find was a QB who was not on a roster, not in the Bills training camp, and learned the offense on the job to post a 7-5 record as a starter. The Bills would not have had Orton had Marrone not vehemently made his point to the GM that changes were needed in the QB depth chart.
 
2. The death of the only owner the Bills have ever had, and the transition to a new owner.
 
3. The loss of a home game, and moving that game to Detroit, due to a snow fall of historic levels.
 
4. The loss of both top RBs in the same game.
 
5. The top 3 WRs having very little NFL experience. The best of them, Watkins, playing through several injuries going back to training camp.
 
6. The RT being a seventh round rookie pick.
 
7. The OG postions were occupied by players that were not projected to be the starters.
 
8. The loss of our best rookie from the previous season (Kiko), before this season's games even began.
 
9. The loss of last year's Def Coordinator to the browns. Marrone may have upgraded the position with Schwartz replacing Pettine.
