Quote: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.

 

Who is to say if they just canned Gus mid season that Marrone wouldn't think the same of this organization? You don't see how easily this organization could be perceived as mess if things weren't handled prudently?

 

A lot of you are evaluating this using something called hindsight bias. You are using knowledge and understanding that can only be obtained after the fact to criticize a decision not being made before that knowledge and understanding was ever obtained.
