Quote:I think it's a great move

 

1. Doug Marrone was highly coveted by the Saints, they reportedly interested in trading for him.

2. Reportedly, both Tom Coughlin and Bill Belichick (I trust their opinion's over internet Joes) recommended Marrone to Shad

3. Doug Marrone turned around an awful Syracuse program in his 2 years there

4. Doug Marrone won 9 games with ​EJ Manuel & Kyle Orton ​as his QB's in Buffalo

5. Former Redskins & Texans GM (Charley Casserly) loves the Marrone hiring, he has 30+ years in this business; much like Belichick and Coughlin, I trust his opinion over internet Joes

6. This Jaguars offense looked DRASTICALLY different under Marrone, particularly the QB. I loved how Marrone moved Allen Robinson around the formation to get him matched up on inferior defensive backs, this is a sign of proactive GOOD coaching.

7. Marrone reportedly kicked a player (who was late to a meeting) out of the room and locked the door, he's the opposite of Gus in that regard, this team needs a disciplinarian.

 

The fact of the matter is contrary to the message board and internet experts, Doug Marrone is a good head coach. He might not be the sexiest hiring but neither was Mike Murlarkey ​when the Titans decided to remove his "intern" title last year, and I think Doug is a much better coach than Murlarkey, evidenced by the beat-down the Jags gave the Titans in week 16. What else do fans need to see? The guy is clearly coveted around the league and has an impressive resume to boot, I don't see the problem with the Marrone hiring.
