now schefter says marrone getting broncos interview

[Moontan]

Marrone just cancelled his interview.

 

[Millhouse]

Marrone just cancelled his interview.

he negotiated a 4 million dollar interview opt out clause

 

[orangenirvana]

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

And the GM thought Marrone was bad at his job. Turns out he was.

 

[ssbriefcase]

Good thing he cancelled, I was just looking up Elway's number in my contacts to give him some pointers!

9-7...first winning season in a decade. Hmmm... then why didn't they fire Marrone and why is everyone throwing hissy fits if he was that bad? Jilted lovers.

Yep, first winning season in a decade on the most talented Bills team in at least a decade. Who brought in those players? If the GM is so bad then why didn't they fire him?

Well, you say Marrone was bad. So, if he was and Whaley failed to recognize that and fire him, using your own view of Marrone, he's a bad GM. Very bad.

 

[donniesyracuse]

Hackett's future is no longer tied to EJ Manuel. He should thank Marrone for that.

 

[brandokc]

Whatever happened to Lawrence Maroney?

He's in Sweden

 

[xc84]

He's in Sweden

I would swear he was from Sweden!

 

[MadNY3]

there's hope yet, maybefuture broncos fans

Not to be lost in this, Marrone's agent is culpable and likely pimping the hell out of Doug to get looks.

it is odd. You'd think that sexton would know better. Maybe Marrone quit against sextons better judgment and all the leaks and nonsense was sexton being desperate

Who know, wild guess

 

[sabach]

Marrone just cancelled his interview.

He punts even on interviews.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

"doug what was that plan"

"uhhhhhhhh"

So I got this binder. Lemme show you.

Hey, did I mention, it's always been my dream to be a Bronco...

Most talented D yes, offense not so much. Getting to 9 wins with a qb off the street with no camp in this league is very good. Not sure why that is difficult to acknowledge for some other than just plain bitterness about the exit.

Why is it so difficult for the Marrone club members to acknowledge that the offense plummeted after Gailey left and the Marrone braintrust took over?

And how many head coaching offers has Marrone had since quitting the Bills?

Exactly.

Yeah it plummeted all the way to 9 wins, but I'm sure Rex the offensive miracle worker will bring back that exciting brand of offensive football that made him so successful in NY.

What does Ryan have to do with Marrone?

 

[Statesman1]

What does Ryan have to do with Marrone?

Other than Marrone beating Rex like a drum not much. Just raining on Orange's excitement over getting rid of his mediocre coach. Same old Bills- they get handed their first 9 win season in years and complain about the offense. It's always cloudy in Buffalo-

 

[alphaorange]

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.

That's a laugh. Elway is not structuring the team management around a player that has so little miles left. Do you read what you write before you hit "post"? Elway doing that would smack of desperation, something Elway has never done. Manning is the one who will get on board or retire. There is no 39 year old QB (in March) that will be a huge factor in who gets hired as coach.

What does Ryan have to do with Marrone?

Nothing, except to MFC members. I would think that they'd be concerned more about Marrone's next gig than about the Bills.

Why would a non-Bills fan watch Ryan's introductory presser? It's a little creepy and more than a little pathetic.

That's the way I see it too. The best way of propping a guy up is to compare him to someone that isn't very good either. They did the same thing with the constant comparisons to GRob. Suck being better than sucker is still suck.

Living in Rochester and working in Buffalo 4 days a week it's impossible to ignore the hero's welcome Ryan received despite his lack of accomplishments. What he lacks in wins he makes up for in bluster, but that has the fan base excited. Either way I could care less about St. Doug personally or his next job and not hating the guy apparently qualifies for MFC status on this board. I can't say the same about this guys detractors in this board, however. Honestly you're like a bunch of weepy teenage girls who just got dumped by your first crush. Let it go, he dumped you for greener pastures time to move on.

Why would I not complain about the offense? It was terrible!

I am convinced that they thought the Jets job was theirs.
