Quote:Predictably, there is a sizeable portion of the fan base that disagrees with the decision to hire Marrone.  I saw a poll conducted by FCN that showed fans opposed Marrone being named head coach by a 70%-30% margin.  Given the disastrous 15 wins since 2013, I can understand fans wanting a clean sweep from the Bradley era, and hiring  Marrone flies directly in the face of that objective.  Furthermore, since his presence on the staff did not avoid that result, many feel Marrone not only wasn't part of the solution, but part of the problem.  Many feel Marrone is not the guy who will fix the QB position.  Ultimately, the view is that the hiring of Marrone was an endorsement of the status quo by a content and complacent ownership.

You make a lot of good points.  I think that the upset comes from the fact that a majority of the fan base is dumb.  That's not a knock against the Jags fan base, football fans in general are pretty dumb.  They can't see past the surface of things to understand that there are different parts that make up the whole.  Smart fans like you and I (and three or four other on the forum) know better which is why we know not to write off Marrone out of hand.  And of course Coughlin will have something to say with what goes on at field level too.  Keep the faith bro!
