Quote:Please stop. You're the only poser spewing this take, and it's wrong on many levels. I don't know about Shannahan, but I guarantee you Mike Smith and Josh McDaniels wanted the job.
Hires search firm...hires the guy who was on 14-48's coaching staff.
Would you like some snake oil?
Hey, it's all about continuity. We must continue to get the top draft picks for the next couple of years.
In terms of sexiness, this hire is a Rosie O'Donnell
I bet Bortles knew all along.
Quote:No problem with this.
No problem with Marrone himself he is an ok coach who will probably do an ok job, but every problem in the world with the process that resulted in him being hired.
Ive been saying it all along
Jags think they are close. They didn't want to blow it up
It's real simple guys.
Caldwell wanted a coach that wanted Bortles.
Coughlin came out and said "nope"
Mike Smith probably did too, who knows. But Marrone was the guy bc he believes in Byron Lef....I meant Bortles.
What a complete let down. You got Coughlin, Smith, Shannahan, etc...and you come back with Douglas Marrone. Just WOWZERS
He's a solid coach...very underwhelming though
Is this official?
In any case, my view of whoever was/will be hired is we'll see what happens now before I rush to judgement.
If it's Marrone, I hope he gets new DC and DB coachs at the very least.
I don't mind Doug Marrone and think he'll do a decent job but this is a terrible way to inspire the fanbase.

He took over a team with a 14-48 record and went .500.
The funny thing is, naturally, Marrone is better on his worst day than Gus on his best day, so even 6 wins creates the perception we are on the right track, so they keep Bortles for the long haul. It could be 2030 before we have a winning season.
Quote:Heres some snake oil Id like to sell you too
except no one is selling me that. it is my own opinion which ive explained numerous times over the past 2 weeks.
unlike you, who is just absorbing all the woe is me from the garbage posters here and the constant negative opinions on our team from the media.
if you really stepped back to logically look at marrone's resume, you would see a lot of upside and promise.
the dumb excuse that he was part of a staff that had so few wins...i could find 100 really good coaches that were part of garbage teams before they finally caught on to success.
whats done is done, either embrace it or let it keep you up at night in your moist undies.
Quote:LIke giving Gus an extension through 2017 after last season
It's really not. ...not when you actually watch Marrone and realize he's like the polar opposite of Gus.
Is anyone suprised? Franchise has been crap for so long.
Quote:He took over a team with a 14-48 record and went .500.
2 games, and your anointing him. Holy crap the delusion.

Who cares?
You want a cookie?

wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Quote:He's a solid coach...very underwhelming though
I believe if we had a solid coach this year, we might be in the playoffs. Someone who would have benched Bortles, and been tougher with the players.
