"As a head coach you have to evaluate everything and, at the end of the day, you've got to make the right decisions with your mind, with your heart and things like that," he said. "The one thing is that when you go to bed at night you have to make sure that you're making the best decisions to help our football team win."
Marrone didn't seem Monday like a coach who agonized over this decision. There was almost a sense a relief, as if he could move on from the first 20 games of his tenure in Buffalo -- a period defined mostly by shoddy quarterback play.
The decision, the Bills say, was made entirely by Marrone, who delivered the news Monday afternoon to general manager Doug Whaley.
"I didn't ask for an agreement," Marrone explained. "I just went in there and said, 'This is the direction that I'm going.'"
I just like how Marrone said look, EJ sucks, we have a good team and EJ is holding us back. It really makes me wonder what the "heated debate" he had with upper management was about - I'd have to guess about how much EJ sucks.
