Payton called Marrone "a great leader" and "a great teacher."

I'm glad to hear that, the Bills desperately need a leader.

Bill Belichick was 36-44 as a HC with the Browns, the Patriots did their homework, didn't listen to ignorant fans, and made a great decisions. Am I saying Marrone is Belichick? Absolutely not. But the truth is, the people doing the interviewing know a lot more then any of us do about these guys, and it goes WAY beyond the stats of win loss record and playoff appearances. It comes down to actual coaching and fundamentals. |

Doug Marrone will be a tremendous hire. Wise move by Management. Comes from Paul Hackett's tutelage. Remember those yearly rumors about Brian Schottenheimer? Bills hope Marrone can be their Mike McCarthy- who he replaced in New Orleans as Offensive Coordinator after his Jets stint.

Hope he works out for you guys.
We were calling him Dog Moron in our coach options thread. hopefully I'm wrong.
I root for the other down on there luck teams. I know what it feels like.
Our coach hunt has turned into a right Cluster Duck.

Irrelevant now IMO, every coach we have brought in since Marv Levy called it quits has had some praise from a NFL colleague. |

Take it for what you may- Doug Marrone & Ryan Fitzpatrick share the same agent Jimmy Sexton. Could Fitz be part of the longterm plan?

I think its nothing more than a coincidence. Fitz may remain on the roster but I can't imagine he is in the long term plan. Not as a starter anyway.

Yea, if he makes the same exact mistake Chan made, he'd be digging his own grave.
@Horny:
Feel bad for you Browns fans as well, know exactly what it's like to have sucked forever.
Hope you guys get a great HC that turns your team around as well.

Yea, no way he lasts in Marrone's offense. He can't throw it deep, nor can he be accurate. But, he does have a good head and I like him personally so he would be good to keep him as a backup.

Doug Marrone is from the Bronx, he coached Syracuse, and now he has a job in Buffalo. Maybe staying in the same state is important for him and he'll be able to focus solely on football with his family so close.

Hey guys, It seems to be about 50/50 around here on the Doug Marrone hire. For what it's worth, I think he's the savior to your franchise. He is night and day from Chan Gailey. I was impressed by his introductory news conference this morning, he seems to have a great understanding of what it takes to become successful in the NFL... He's seems very intune with the differences between the college game and the pro game. I'm not buying the "he was barely .500 at a low level university such as Syracuse, how can he possibly be successful as a HC in the NFL". I think thats a load of BS. He turned a franchise that hasn't been successful in over a decade, to a Pinstripe Bowl victory with a 6-2 big East record. He seems to run an extremely balanced team, offensively and defensively, ranking in the top 50 in NCAA in PPG, Passing yards, Rushing yards, and points against. Your Offense would have a chance of REGRESSING had you hired Lovie Smith to be your HC, no doubt your Defense would be top 10 but this is an offensive game nowadays. If Marrone can be successful in chosing his coordinators/supporting coaching staff than you guys are in for a surprise IMO. Have some optimism, I think this was the best Hire you could've asked for.

Marrone said he wanted experienced coordinators, especially on defense. Do you think we could possibly get Lovie as DC? I can't see him going to Arizona or San Diego and there are not a lot of jobs left. That would be quite the coup imo.
