Quote:Is it just me or does this feel an awful lot like when Gene Smith hired mularky and had one last hail marry season to make it all work?

Feels like Caldwell is on such thin ice,they've opted to just keep the staff the same. Then see if Marone can pull a rabbit out his [BAD WORD REMOVED] and when it all goes predictably south they blow it up again.


I hope it works but this franchise has sucked the hope out of me.

Mularky was about to get fired from the Falcons when we hired him (he had just laid a gooseegg with Ryan in the playoffs), so that is different. Also consider Gene Smith himself. Gene had never done anything real promising prior to becoming GM and hasn't done anythung since.


Its just not the same. Gene never drafted a single probowler, Caldwell looks like he has a couple already. Dave deserved to be kept at least one more year on merit, Gene deserved to be fired in 2011 2 years before he was.


The only simularities are the promotions from within really. And that both MM and Marrone were the last coaches to get Buffalo to a winning record when we hired them.


But having Coughlin as insurance makes this so different. If Dave and Marrone fail, we know what is gonna happen.
