Here are some quotes from Marrone from the press conference.

 

Quote: 

“I didn’t want to come in here and make major adjustments in the last two weeks, so we just made some subtle adjustments to start laying the foundation down for the team,” Marrone said. “Not that I knew that I would be here, but just some things that would probably help when they come back – whoever the next coach was going to be.”

Marrone during an appearance on Jaguars.com Live shortly after the press conference said several players had told him after the season they hoped he got the job. He joked that he told them, “be careful what you wish for,” and during the press conference he made it a point to send a message to Jaguars players that the future culture would be about “high expectation … a high standard for our players and our coaches and what they should be doing.”

Marrone said though he was unable to implement his entire approach in two weeks as interim head coach, he did make some changes that he believed beneficial at the time. The Jaguars turned in two of their better performance of the season in his two games as coach.

“I think that our players, when we made those changes, were outstanding with it,” Marrone said. “I do believe they know what our expectations are.”

These quotes illustrate what I was trying to point out with my original post.

 

Marrone could have had differences with Caldwell Bradley in the way things were done, but due to the comparative positions, he could not implement them.

 

I can imagine once TC and Marrone put their stamp completely on the franchise, just how good this group could be.
