Quote:Marrone walked out on his last head coaching gig. Don't you think it was prudent for the FO to get a feel for the guy to find out his commitment to the organization before they hand the reigns over to the guy?


Why waste your time on a guy who may turn around and walk out on you at the end of the season?

Do you consider every person who leaves their job as walking out? Every person who retires as walking out?


The bills management is a mess. They were trying to force Marrone to play guys he didn't want to play. He had a clause in his contract that allowed him to cut ties amicably. With ownership infringing on his ability to coach, he took advantage of that clause in his contract.


All that aside, Marrone has been with the Jaguars a good amount of time now, and firing Gus a few weeks earlier would have made no difference to seeing what Marrone's commitment to the team would be.
