I should of included here, but my biggest gripe with Marrone that I was mentioning in other threads is his inability to have any hold on the discipline of the team. He preaches accountability...but he does absolutely nothing to enforce it and there's plenty of examples throughout the season to show for it. 

Guess we will see what happens at the end of the season.

It's pretty hard to enforce accountability though in the NFL especially if it is happening in position groups without much depth and when you lots of injuries. You can't just cut your high priced players either.

I used this example in a different thread. 

Last week, 3-8.... season is lost. What's a major problem with the team? Discipline. Boneheaded penalties... oh yeah we lead the league in those. Last week, we got Ronnie Harrison (who by the way... played outstanding) make a completely boneheaded penalty getting in the face of Ebron when he was 20 yards away from the play and had zero impact... where on good teams in the playoffs... those penalties can lose you a game. You got Bryan rolling the long snapper when Marrone says "Well we talked about it all week long". How about sending a damn message? I'm not advocating sending Harrison or Bryan to the bench for the whole game.... but the season is lost sit their [BLEEP] down for a series or two and start to begin to gain some respect among your peers. What I see is nobody gives a damn what Marrone says or respects him. Who do the rookies follow? The veterans. They've been making the same damn penalties all season as well... nothing happens. It's embarrassing. You look at great coaches... what would they do? You got Belichick cutting players after team violations and sitting Malcolm Butler in the SB. That's bold. 

At this point, the whole "accountability" preaching by Marrone is a complete joke. He's that teacher in middle school where all the class clowns act up in who keeps saying he is going to do something, but never does... and now the whole class is in on it. Just my opinion.
