It depends. Fans and the media still do mock Doug Marrone. I do fee that’s because the local media instigated much of that given the way he treated him. Do fans and media hope that he falls flat on face because they don’t like him? Probably - but that’s not the same as wishing he was still the coach.

I don’t buy a for second that the majority of the fan base is saying “damn I wish we had Doug Marrone back” like they have with other coaches (Wade Phillips) or players the franchise gave up on (Marshawn Lynch, Chris Hogan etc). The local newspaper here Buffalo News took a survey and McDermott had a 97% fan approval rating. So trust me when I say fans aren’t lining that he gone. They just don’t like him based on his stint in Buffao
