Quote:Am I the only one worried about TC possibly overplaying his hand and alienating Marrone?

Nope I kind of feel the same way.

 

It was well known Tom wanted to be the HC of the Jags. When he was denied that position, he decided to take this current role in the organization.

 

I'm kind of getting the feeling that he's a little bitter about not getting the HC job and that he might be trying to wear every cap in the building. My opinion though and I truly hope that's not the case at all.

 

I understand that somebody who has more a little more power, can make some of those decisions that Tom is making. However, if he continues to over rule Marrone and makes Marrone constantly go in a different direction, it could absolutely cause tension and issues in the organization. It's one thing to do it once, or twice, but if it becomes a thing with Coughlin, it will get old very fast for those involved on the inside.

 

Maybe Coughlin is low key trying to push Marrone out the door so he can take over? I highly doubt that's the case, but only time will tell.

 

I can say this though. If Tom keeps over ruling Marrone's coaching choices and decides to basically picks his own staff, he better have instant success this year. Because it will be on him and his hand picked coaching staff, if we have another bad year.

 

I personally hope I'm just reading into this way too much and that it's just all fluff though. I hope they will all happily see eye to eye and agree on the coaching staff. I hope they will all work together as one unit, in perfect alignment.
