He would have already been insubordinate. What reason would he have to not throw Coughlin under the bus for it? He already knows he's a dead man walking.

Marrone is a professional that has been more than willing to fall on the sword instead of throwing people under the bus, especially his current boss.

C'mon man

Saying Coughlin made the call wouldn't interfere with his ability to focus. It would most likely relieve the pressure he is facing from the the public and the media.

GMs doing coach hirings... so throwing your GM under the bus makes him less hirable.

Common sense my dude. Buy some lol

When you are getting fired for it you do. How can you maintain your coaching credibility?

Plus GMs don't tell coaches who to play. It is only in your unfounded conjecture that Coughlin did.

FYI, Marrone will not be up for any head coaching positions anytime soon.

Besides, if Coughlin was so intent on Foles starting, they wouldn't have named Minshew the starter for the remainder of the year. That's common sense.
