jack48 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Tom Thumb comes to mind when I think of Lupica. The situation is similar, but Marrone is a far better coach than Kotite. And Kotite diid not make himself available, the Eagles made him available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 You know who reported that? The media. I get it...but if there's any truth to it whatsoever (it's a Buffalo media reporting it) the Jets would be insane to hire him... He'll be gone after a year. He's already being attacked - wait until they go on their first 3 game losing streak.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolot Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Don't forget the irrational and impatient fan base. plus, the reports about his thin skin and one of the reasons he left the Bills was because he and family thought the media and fan base was unfair to him.. So Mehta blatantly making up a story to troll our fan base and fit his own agenda is now fact...great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't originally a Mehta report - it was Buffalo media... Plus I agree completely that it could be completely BS - but if it's even slightly true I see Al Groh all over again.

FidelioJet Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 He's being attacked by one person. Two already.- (Mehta and Lupica) - two of loudest voices in this city - And he hasn't even been interviewed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get that designation by telling a jackass reporter that his repeated stupid questions are stupid. Reporters, generally, are failed novelists who were too afraid to commit to a life in the arts, so they went to J school instead, only to find out that journalism is dead and has been replaced by TMZ, so they effectively traded in their dreams of being Ernest Hemingway in order to become Perez Hilton, which only compounds this existential angst. This angst materializes as self-loathing, which leads these "journalists" to take jobs covering the same meathead jocks that made them feel weak and entirely without value in high school. This existential friction results in the state of the industry being what it is: a bunch of embittered non-novelists trying to rally the middle class (which, in and of itself, is populated by people whose dreams are likewise dead) against those men who have achieved their dreams, which nobody really likes to see. So, when you hear that a coach is "thin-skinned," what you're really hearing is "this coach wouldn't validate my plight. Please fill my comments section with attention, fellow failures."

sirlancemehlot Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 No, you think you have a point but you actually made mine for me. You're using coaches who did worse than Marrone at Syracuse to portray him as some kind of hero. But 25-25 is what it is. Mediocrity is nothing to rave about but you're sugarcoating .500. Next, Marrone's Bills beat the 1-6 Jets and the 2-8 Jets. They reached 9-7 with our help and you're sugarcoating one win over .500 as a major achievement. Critics are right when they say it's absurd that Marrone is suddenly the next Vince Lombardi. BTW, Bills were 9-7 in 2004, not 14 years ago. Right. That's why my post says ONE WINNING SEASON IN 14 YEARS. because they won 9 games in 2004. .500 is not mediocre if its a drastic improvement over the prior 4 years' record. Just like 9-7 is not mediocre if its a drastic improvement over the prior decades' lack of success. If every team Marrone has coached has shown improvement and increased its winning percentage, then he's a good coach. Unless you want to base your entire argument on 25-25. Which is simplistic and has no context as an argument in and of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if he's a good coach, surviving the Jets is like rushing the beach on D-Day so only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
