Quote:I have listed reasoning before in other threads but just a quick recap:

 

1. He is the opposite of gus, very football smart, all about winning, no nonsense kinda guy

2. In my opinion based on his track record, he is a good coach. he showed great improvement to the syracuse program and in 2 seasons improved the bills. just in two games with the jags as head coach we looked like a different team as well.

3. He brings with him better staff, higher profile guys. one which would be a possibility for us is mike pettine as DC.

4. The players seem to respect him and respond to his coaching.

5. He is well respected around the league among his coaching peers. you can find articles that back that up as well as the most recent endorsement from the man in the hoodie himself.

 

i know marrone was part of the staff while gus was in charge and we were a joke, but i have seen plenty of times, a business can switch out just one person at the time and things greatly change and improve for the better. you cant fault marrone for mistakes the team made when he had a boss to answer to and he cant just go over the bosses head, thats not the way it works.

 

I do fault the front office for not canning gus sooner and seeing marrone in action for more games, but this is where we are at now. 

1. Doug Marrone
   
   
2. Mike Smith
   
   
3. Kyle Shannahan
   
   
4. Josh McDaniels <--looking for ideal spot ... ruled out 49ers and Bills ... Jags job fits him (good defense, solid GM and owner, great location)
   
   
5. Harold Goodwyn
   
   
6. Anthony Lynn
   
   
7. Bill O'Brien <--looks to part ways with Texans if they lose WC game
   
   
8. Tom Coughlin
