I wonder what this latest move will mean for the market perception of Marrone, especially if he ultimately isn't successful at the next stop.  Short term, it sounds like there's a lot of interest.  But he's dangerously close [my opinion only] of being perceived as a job hopper after leaving both SU / the bills in relatively short timeframes.  Wherever he lands next, he'll have to have a sustained run [again, IMO only] to change that perception.

And while I think there were extenuating circumstances at both SU and Buffalo to explain his clashes with upper management in both instances--that's a precedent that could work against him.  Starting to look like a pattern.  And for the record, I'm generally pro-Marrone.

Insofar as Buffalo is concerned, I think they are in danger of being worse off for losing him.  As many have pointed out, the defense was stellar, and they've had to shoestring together QBs BOTH of the years he was in town.  That's a big factor in my mind in terms of evaluating the team's offensive play these two years he was HC.  If they could ever stabilize that situation and get a modicum of solid play offensively from a QB, they could build something.  Now, they'll start over.  If they make the right hire, they can build on the foundation.  If not, they could slide back to that 6-10 range pretty quickly.  Kind of like SU backslid.
