now schefter says marrone getting broncos interview

[Millhouse]

there's hope yet, maybefuture broncos fans

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Oh, please happen. PLEASE happen. Just try and go my way or the highway with Elway and Manning.

 

[Melancer46]

He doesn't have a chance in hell at beating Kubiak for that job, and I like Marrone.

Nor will he beat out their OC, who is also interviewing.

 

[texascpa]

My boss who is an avids Bills' fan is already razzing me on this. BTW, she loved the Marrone hire two years ago...

He has a chance if they find out he is a saint.

 

[44PRIDE]

This is just a "due-dilligence" interview for the Broncos. Unless he absolutely positively wow's them, I can't imagine he's given any real consieration

 

[Chip]

Maybe they'll change the name from the Rooney rule to the Marrooney rule.

(see what I did?).

 

[KaiserUEO]

or kubiak, who has the job.

edit: i see someone else said it.

doug would be a good move as an adult OC for gase (who will call the plays).

insurance play...

How does Marrone explain to Elway why he left the Bills? He didn't like the GM? The media didn't praise him enough after win #8? Not sure anything he says is an acceptable answer.

It's not about "liking". He thought the GM was bad at his job. Turns out he was.

 

[kcsu]

I love John E and just dont see the fit as John is an O guy through and through. Ill be shocked if Doug is hired by the Broncos

 

[ImperialOrange]

I actually think Marrone and Elway are simliar in their no BS mindsets and could potentially work well together... or not get along and be an absolute train wreck. I don't see a grey area.

I think it's pretty simple really. All he has to say is that he was hired because of his plan to rebuild the team and they did not allow him to carry out that plan. Something along those lines worded the right way would probably be an acceptable answer. He really has to hope that Kubiak decides not to leave Baltimore though or he has no chance whatsoever. I think he'd have a chance (though likely slim) of beating out Gase for it if he sees eye to eye with Elway on how to move this team forwards.

"doug what was that plan"

"uhhhhhhhh"

 

[Symphony Steve]

Maybe he lands as OL coach in Dallas now that Callahan has moved on.

 

[cuseincincy]

"doug what was that plan"

"uhhhhhhhh"

Now you're just being argumentative. Even you have to know that if they ask Doug what his plan was he'd pull out the binder and show it to them. And then he'd show them what they did instead. And Elway might, just might agree with Doug. Elway understands the whole if I don't think I'm going to be happy there then I'm not going/staying. If he didn't he'd be one of the best 3 Colt QB's in history instead of the best Bronco QB in history.

Yep. Some people are saying Marrone was arrogant to leave Buffalo. You want to talk about arrogant? Imagine being the #1 pick in the NFL draft and tellign the team that drafted you that you'd rather play baseball for almost peanuts than play football for millions with them. That is arrogance. There'd be no middle ground.

To which Elway would respond: "Ok good, because here you'll be carrying out my plan"

I'm sure it will work out.

Whatever happened to Lawrence Maroney?

Both guys know what they want and will make what they want happen. I admire what Elway is doing as GM in Denver and with a similar mindset Marrone might be a guy he is seriously interested in.

 

[Stern]

Peyton Manning is the real head coach in Denver who are we kidding. Peyton runs the offense, calls the plays, audibles out of anything he wants and essentially comes up with the game plan each week.

The head coach in Denver has to not step on Peyton's toes and just make sure the defense is just decent.

Now if Peyton is going to retire and not come back, that goes from being one of the best jobs in the NFL to not being that great as you will take your lumps with a young QB for a few years.

How about the arrogant Mormons who go on a mission?

Elway would call BS quicker than I did when that was said here earlier.

Hmmm, wasn't there a Giants QB who did something similar?
