Wash also waited far too long before he finally let Ramsey shadow Cooks. Cooks was eating Bouye up for most of the game. They really wanted nothing to do with going after Ramsey and Bouye would have matched up against Hogan far better than Cooks to begin with.

Yea...I don't understand why Marrone doesn't put his foot down on a couple things (defense needing to stay in man for example in this game, and Hacket going run, run, pass skittish in the 2nd half).

I don't understand why Coughlin allows it either.  To me it's simple obvious stuff that should be address real-time.

Well Marrone has said that Coughlin doesn't get involved in the coaching decisions. Which he shouldn't honestly, that's not his place. Yea, he has a world of experience and knowledge, but if he's over stepping the HC in on field decisions, it could make for some big issues. Marrone has said that he absolutely leans on Coughlin though, but impacting coaching decisions isn't Coughlins job at the end of the day.

As far as Marrone putting his foot down, I think it goes back to his belief of old school football, as well the fact that he still has a lot to learn in being a HC. We'll likely never know if it was Marrone's decision to go conservative, or if it was the Coordinators.
