TCU qb battle

[CuseHulk]

Let's see 1 of 30 NFL Head Coaching jobs, or Syracuse and a dysfunctional Athletic Department, with a questionable at best investment to winning. I'd like see how many head coaches turn that down despite those 2 words i am sure he regrets.

The Buffalo Bills job ? We are not talking about the New England Patriots, NY Giants, or Pittsburgh Steelers job.

And what happened showed his true colors and tried to power play his way into another job and now he is a no name assistant for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

You want to leave fine. Just don't decimate the coaching staff. Why did he have to do that ?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Why did he say and I quote "Syracuse is my dream job".

I will never let that go or forgive him for that.

You're a petulant child. It was his dream job, or rather his vision of it from his time at SU was his dream job. It wasn't what he believed it would be.
Move on. Did you marry the first girl you loved?
Besides, its just football, it has no impact on your life, and life is too short for grudges. It brings you down, lessens you as a person, and does nothing to DM.

 

[qdawgg]

And he said the same when loading JB's luggage into his car

and again, who cares. Grown men upset because Marrone might have exaggerated what his dream job was. So what. If he came out and said, this is one of my top 5 jobs everyone would have whined and cried about that.

BTW - there's not enough orange in your Avatar.

This is so annoying. All that did was save Shafer from having to fire guys he worked with to bring in the guys he really wanted...you know the same thing that happens with 98% of coaching changes.

Oburg - I meant to add a smiley face so you realized I was joking around about the orange/avatar part. Hopefully you got that, wasn't meant to be a @ss.

If he can't make the 3 deep at TCU what makes anybody think he would've been anything more than average or worse here.

You're kidding, right?

That's some smart posting there.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I for one would have liked to have had the chance to see if he would have been a good QB for us.

The Bills job is one of 30 like it in the world. It's a great job. Are there better NFL jobs? Of course. It's still one of 30. And as for taking his staff, you haven't been in the business world very long. That is how you move up in the world. Someone you work for moves up, they take you with them. Honestly, that's how it works. Marrone took care of his guys. Coach Mac did the same thing when he left to go to the Pats.

You better never take a promotion, sir. Ever.

Or you will look like a jerk in your own eyes for bettering yourself and your family.

Doug taking the NFL job is not the point. Doug taking the entire staff and leaving like the fing thin skinned baby that he turned out to be is.

What if the Buffalo Airport offers him a Skycap position?

I'm in the minority on this but I'm over him taking the staff. Hire the best guys you know (that you can get).

That happens all the time though. Almost every coach who is hired by another school brings "his" guys.

Totally got. Actually had a good chuckle

 

[cuseincincy]

Yeah seriously.

Least Shafer is invested and bleeds Orange. I think he and the Orange football team will have a bounce back season.

What makes you think Shafer bleeds orange? You don't think he'd be gone in an instant if Michigan or Stanford were to offer him their HC job? He'd probably even leave if Illinois offered him their HC job (be a lot easier to recruit IL kids to there than SU). I like the guy but he's no more invested than any other coach. Of course his record isn't going to have other programs coming after him anytime soon. SU should be so lucky to be good enough again that other programs want their coach.

And this may be to another poster but...I bet Shafer would take almost his entire staff with him.

Im all for coaches looking out for their friends and taking them with them unless one of the staff is promoted at that point i believe they need to help the friend who is taking over the benefit of keeping the staff together. Without Shafer Doug would have had limited success at Syracuse. He owed it to Shafer to at a minimum not decimate the staff during recruiting. Doug was and is a selfish . Old habits die hard and he keeps proving that such as the way he screwed over his buddies with the buffalo move.

Doug does appear to be a selfish man. Taking his staff is not an example of this. I'm sure every person he took got more money and a better job to put on their resume.

Those buddies he "screwed" had expiring contracts. That was one of his demands, that those guys that had come over with him were extended.

Bills said no.

Bills said no.

So he went from the majority of them most likely being extended to the majority of them being unemployed/demoted. Power play for the ages, collateral damage and all.

Thats a guarantee. Especially if he went back to the midwest.

 

[bevosu]

No blame for anyone. Marrone got a better job. Period. And Zach was confused about what was going on here.

Not unlike the rest of us for the last decade or so.

No I don't think he would leave.

Scott Shafer the man > Doug Marrone the man.

 

[GoSU96]

Scott Shafer the man > Doug Marrone the man.

Doug Marrone the coach > better than Scott Shafer the coach.

And that's what they get paid for and that's what people pay for, not who the better guy is at the barbecue.

Seriously. As long as our HC isn't covering up child rape I can care less about their personalities, or likability. If they are getting recruits, and more importantly getting wins, that's all we should carry about.
