Smashmouth Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 leaving the college game to go to the NFL is a promotion, not quitting he negotiated a clause into his buffalo contract that if there was a change in ownership, he could opt out. that is smart. he negotiated another clause that buffalo would still owe him $4 million. pretty standard. what is amazing is he got the $4 million set aside so that if he gets another HC job, there is no off set, and he gets to keep both salaries. he gets to double his salary to leave the lake effect snow capital of the world only mehta would cry about this All good points larz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack48 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 if moving up is quitting, then lombardi quit on st cecilia, west point and the giants Parcells bailed when the jets changed owners. Knowing Woody, I can only look back on the move as a prescient and admirable one. Why work for someone you know you will hate if your contract has a clause that lets you off.

docdhc Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 That's all fine and good...and only asking this again because it got ignored last time. In terms of the football stuff Mehta mentions, isn't it all true? Two seasons, no playoffs, losing record, sputtering offense...are these not legitimate concerns? Also a .500 guy in college. If this is what the Jets are looking for then it really does eff up my day. You have to consider the programs he took over. Syracuse got better, two bowl wins and 2 over 500 seasons for a moribund college team and Buffalo's first winning season in a long time with drek at QB.

Syracuse got better, two bowl wins and 2 over 500 seasons for a moribund college team and Buffalo's first winning season in a long time with drek at QB. I'm not gonna' lie and pretend I follow college football, but I do know that around this time of year there are around 600 teams that make it to a bowl game. Winning those things mattered when there were three or four of em. Unless it's that national championship, it's not a real big deal IMO. Give him credit for the bowl wins and he's two games over .500 in four season. Call me crazy, but I was hoping for better. If they bring him on I'm an instant fan and hoping for the best, but I don't see the attraction. A .500 coach with a bad offense and no playoff appearances.

I don't want to make this about Rex because he's gone, but Rex took over a team that had a HOF QB the previous season and had a horrible rookie QB and made a deep playoff run. Marrone had a horrible rookie QB and couldn't even get in the playoffs. Really hoping this is just rumor getting pumped out by Marrone's agent.

BigRy56 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I don't buy a thing Mehta says, but I can't believe we fired Rex to talk about Doug Maronne... I thought the idea was to upgrade? Harbaugh was the only upgrade out there and now we're looking at Doug Marrone while Rex is the #1 coach available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Mart Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I don't want to make this about Rex because he's gone, but Rex took over a team that had a HOF QB the previous season and managed to make consecutive deep playoff runs with a horrible rookie QB. Marrone had a horrible rookie QB and couldn't even get in the playoffs. Really hoping this is just rumor getting pumped out by Marrone's agent. What rumor?

If this is what the Jets are looking for then it really does eff up my day. The prior 4 years at Syracuse, before Marrone, the Cuse were 10-37. A horrid team under Greg Robinson. Under Marrone, the Cuse beat a number of ranked teams, he developed players and actually looked like a well run program. He turned them around. As a line coach with the Jets, he did a very good job with the unit he worked with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I don't like Manish, and a lot of those tweets are uncalled for. The football related stuff though, is any of it wrong? .500 coach in college, losing record and no playoffs in the NFL, sputtering offense? Lots of folks on board with that? Marrone will check off a lot of boxes for a lot of fans. Obviously his no-nonsense style compared to Rex's all nonsense style is appealing to everyone who thinks a disciplinarian needs to be brought in. The OL guys will love him, because as a former OL coach, he'll focus on that unit to a certain degree. Where the Jets are picking, a potential OT could easily be had there. I think the fans anxious for the Jets to get out of the Stone Age offensively might be a little disappointed, though. He's got the mentality of a defensive minded coach, he's much more about eliminating mistakes and keeping it close than taking any chances offensively. Again, what was his influence in the Bills drafts? Because going QB and WR in the first round in back-to-back years at least demonstrates that someone over there was trying to get more explosive offensively. I'm not too concerned about his record. It's an incomplete. He's taken over a couple crappy programs and improved them. Now, it's a lot easier to get from 6 wins to 9 wins than it is to get from 9 to 12. Can he take a team to the next level? I don't know, but there's no one else on the interview list who's a slam-dunk in that regard, either.

Hahahaha he's not even close to "spot on". Just because you don't think Marrone is the right guy, don't be hitching your wagon to Mehta. Come on man. Marrone hasn't quit on anybody. Mehta is making him out to be like Bobby Petrino when in actuality he's simply moved on for better opportunities. He improved a bad Syracuse program and moved on to the NFL. He improved a bad Bills team and is now looking for a better situation (pretty much any NFL team is a better choice than Buffalo). There is very little not to like about the guy, and it's not like we've stated we're hiring him. Only that we're interviewing him and are high on him as a candidate.
