Quote:*Marrone expressed surprise that his decision to attempt a two-point conversion leading 31-12 with :25 remaining Sunday has drawn attention nationally and in the New York area. While some have speculated the move was made because Marrone interviewed and did not get the Jets’ coaching position in January 2015, Marrone said that was not the case. He said the decision was made “way before” to attempt the two-point conversion because a touchdown would put the Jaguars ahead by 19 points, and the Jaguars’ “two-point chart” says to go for two when ahead by that margin. “When we scored, it was just natural for me to go for two,” Marrone said. “People who know me know how much I respect the game. I have a ton of respect for [Jets Head] Coach [Todd] Bowles, and [Jets General Manager] Mike Maccagnan is one of my good friends. Whatever happened in the past is the past; it had nothing to do with the people or the game itself that’s on the field. So, for me that’s exactly what happened – right, wrong or indifferent. I would never do anything like that. I just wouldn’t because I respect the game too much. It has nothing to do with any of the other crap.” Marrone added, “If I had to do it all over and I knew this was going to happen … yeah, I wish someone would have said something. Because the one thing I don’t want to do is get my character attacked, which has happened in the past and it happens again.”
