Goofy lesson?

Gosh, I don't know about that.

Parcells and Belichick are two of the smartest football people in the history of the game.

After what happened to him in NE, Parcells vowed never to work for an owner who did not hire him.

Belichick essentially followed the same example when he refused to become the head coach of the Jets - following Parcells' resignation.

And you have to be honest here, what the heck did Doug Marrone know about Pegula when the Bills were sold? How could he know at that point what kind of owner he would be. None of us knows at this point what kind of owner Pegula is or how he treats his coaches. It sounds like he isn't going to be all that patient with Ryan and may have had a hand in getting rid of Ryan's OC.

I am pretty sure that Marrone became close to Parcells and I have little doubt that Parcells told him of his experience with an owner - Kraft - a very good owner - who did not hire him.

So, I understand why Marrone did what he did - I can't call it "goofy" and I can't call him a quitter.
