Quote:Marrone left on his own so it wasnt much of a patience thing. And Marrones team was better because of Schwartz defense, There wasnt much else on the team to speak of outside of that. Ryan screwed the whole thing up switching to a 3-4.

 

Marrone wisely left when he had a clause to do so because, as the owner's firing of Rex shows, Marrone had reason to worry about a short hook. It was the owner's patience he had to worry about, combined with a terrible QB that the FO wanted him to continue to start. No one in their right mind would stay on if they told you had to play EJ Manuel and your success depending on his development, especially if the option is a full year's additional salary.

 

The entire Buffalo exit situation is irrelevant to this potential hire and no one with a functioning brain in the Jag's FO is considering it a factor in whether or not they retain him.
