My biggest issue is whether or not he can earn the respect of the players. Will he be respected? Will they listen to him?
This is a bit different that when we hire a guy like Chan. If you remember, players came out and mentioned his credentials. How they listen to him because of what he's done.
Marrone has been a coordinator which will help him gain traction. But, he hasn't been a head coach.
This is a situation where he's a disciplinarian, he may demand the players play his way. And without the pedigree to show he knows what to do because he's succeeded at this level as head coach, it could turn players off. He's also been reported to be a players coach and seeks to establish good relationships.
The good news is I don't think we have any prima donna's who will publicly question him.
I'm excited for the hire and what he may do. But I do have this one concern.
What's yours?
