Haha, Oline coach with a face saving title thrown in by a friend.

Watch this line take off. Alfie, are you able to find some stats regarding his offensive line with the Jets? His work there was supposed to be what set his career into orbit, or so I hear from Jets fans.

Re: Via WGR text... Doug Marrone...

Notice that the entire article did not once mention that he was the head coach for the Bills. Very curious.

Marrone has a background working with the offensive line and has been an offensive coordinator previously, spending three seasons under Sean Payton on the New Orleans Saints.

Marrone moved from the Saints to be the head coach of Syracuse in the college ranks, leading the Orange to the most wins in a season they've had since 2001 in 2010, with an 8-5 record. In his final season with the Orange the team had a share of the Big East title and beat West Virginia 38-14 in the Pinstripe Bowl.

As mentioned, Marrone has a wealth of experience in the NFL coaching offensive line, having spent time with the New York Jets (2002-2005), New Orleans Saints (2006-2008) as well as multiple stops in college coaching offensive line and tight ends.

In all fairness he didn't coach the Oline here. Well not to any tangible results.

Highest paid oline coach in the league!!

Re: Via WGR text... Doug Marrone...

But...but...what about the posts the past few days claiming he'd never get another NFL job?

Re: Via WGR text... Doug Marrone...

Why he took job in Jax is puzzling. The jags need to win probably 7 games for that staff to be retained and that is going to be tough. Considering they play the AFC East and the NFC south which I highly doubt will be as bad as it was last year. Lets us not forget four games against Colts and Texans.

The one thing I will say is Jax has built their OL around zone blocking, where Buffalo did not build that way. Hopefully we will go away from that crap. That being said Marrone could have some success with that line as that is the way they are built.

I think most of those were directed towards a HC gig.

I'm pretty confident saying that Marrone overplayed his hand and has regrets about leaving Buffalo at this point. There are only 32 NFL HC jobs in the world and he had one and threw it away.

Jim Rome just SAVAGED Marrone. It was a thing of beauty.

Marrone will,take over as HC when the current staff is fired, bank on it

Re: Via WGR text... Doug Marrone...

Which is why,he took that job i believe, because there is a chance to take over as HC

LOL, he took the job because it was the only job available to him in the NFL.

The fate of that whole staff is tied to the development of Blake Bortles. If he develops and lives up to his draft billing, they are looking good. If not, it becomes someone else's team to run.

They still haven't hired an offensive coordinator, though they have interviewed Adam Gase and may hope he takes the job.
