Message: [QUOTE="Dr. Bill, post: 1261738, member: 5045"] Marrone asked for a contract extension and was denied. He had two years left on his deal….he could have asked for an extension next year……but he would have had to win next year…and look at the prospects of that. Why do you think he put this unprecedented clause in his contract? to be allowed to walk after two years…..Because he knew he would be shortly working for an owner….who did not hire him..and typically…new owners want to buy their own groceries. It was a smart move on his part as well as a gamble….He bet on himself, even if it doesn't lead to a head job next year….still a great play. Why? The ball is in his court….He left on his own terms…Still a huge plus for future interviews. His head coaching stent at Buffalo could have been better….but it was not a failure. He will repackage himself and get another opportunity next year. More jobes will be open..they are every year. [/QUOTE]
