Watching EJ Manuel and Vick battling it out would be pretty funny, I think. Watching KW flail about to and fro would also be highly entertaining...
1. Thanks for merging these threads 2. For those who made the Belichek comparison, keep in mind the the correct comparison is not with 2014 Belichek but with 2000 Belichek, who left a seemingly good situation and caused bad feelings to put himself in a better situation. And let's face it, whether he comes here or goes somewhere else, he's going to a place which he considers to be better than his status quo. Only time will tell if he gets his "Brady". 3. Marrone is not a guy who needs to be kept in check by a GM. He needs to be in a situation where everyone is rowing in the same direction.
Everybody has to keep their sources happy. Very obvious that whoever feeds the Daily News is someone close to Rex (Jimmy Sexton) or someone that isn't getting their contract renewed because Rex is gone.
The Marrone poll in this thread is interesting. Once was almost 80% yes to 20% no is evening out to 50/50.
how many idzik did a good job threads do we need? seriously I am with you. as far as the people saying the ravens and vikings people turned us down. I heard it was because of the fans.... seriously people they turned everyone down. It is not like they turn down the Jets and said yes to the dolphins... get a freaking grip on reality some people do not leave there jobs because they are happy where they are.....
I put now because I want a gm first and there should be no coach till you get the gm to hire him. I also think they will get the guy from Seattle and then quinn as a team
A lot of people are doing more research on him opposed to just reacting to it at first. Big difference. The guy isn't the savior of the Jets, he is a downgrade by every definition possible.
My only BEEF with this is............doesn't this limit our GM pool? I'm going to be off the wall pissed as hell if we bring in a joke of a GM just because he "works well" with the HC brought in before the GM. This doesn't work for me...not in the lightest. Woody better pray to god that, IF he goes down this route, it works out well for him or bill boards will be the least of his worries.
Yep. Seems like the longer this drags on the more it forces people to do research. The lazy answer at first was "he's the opposite of Rex so he has to be better!" but as the media pushes their agenda, people are forced to do their homework. Anyone who does a little research on his body of work knows he's a shlub.
For people who didn't see link. He's got support from three ex Jet players that played under him. When Brandon Moore thinks about Doug Marrone, the longtime Jets guard remembers the 2002 season, standing on the practice field long after everyone else had left. That was Moore’s first season in the NFL. He was an undrafted free agent on the practice squad, converting from the position he played in college, defensive tackle, to offensive guard. Marrone was in his first season as the Jets’ offensive line coach, and Moore got to know him well. “Most coaches after practice, especially in the summer after two-a-days or in the season when it’s cold outside in November and December and everybody wants to go in and get hot cocoa, he’s one of those coaches that was out with us pushing that sled — me and Jonathan Goodwin and whoever else was on the practice squad,” Moore said Friday. “He was very instrumental in me going from a raw individual to being the player I was over the course of my career.” Moore went on to play 10 seasons, start 142 games and make a Pro Bowl. Years after those long nights at Hofstra with Moore, Marrone is now the favorite to land the Jets’ head coaching job after opting out of his deal with the Bills this week. Players from the 2002-05 Jets, when Marrone was the offensive line coach, speak highly of him and believe he would be a good choice to lead the current Jets. “I don’t think I can say enough good things about him,” Hall of Fame running back Curtis Martin said. “I really like him as a person, and I think he’s a heck of a coach.” Martin had his best season in 2004, when Marrone was coaching the offensive line. Martin won the rushing title with 1,697 yards and had 12 rushing touchdowns. Martin said it was the best line he ever played behind and credited Marrone with getting the group to play as hard as it did. “Kevin Mawae, Pete Kendall, those are good guys, but those are strong personalities,” Martin said of the center and left guard. “If you don’t have a strong personality to match theirs, they’re not going to respect you enough to get the most out of them. Doug had that respect from them.” Mawae was going into his ninth season when Marrone arrived with the Jets. Unlike Moore, who was just learning, Mawae already knew his way around the NFL. When Marrone got the job, he called Mawae at his Baton Rouge, La., home and introduced himself. “Who do you know on the staff to get the job here?” Mawae asked, fully aware that most NFL jobs are about who you know. “I’ve never worked with any coach on this staff before,” Marrone told him. “I interviewed and they gave me the job.” Mawae instantly was impressed. “I loved playing for him,” said Mawae, who made three Pro Bowls under Marrone. “He helped me understand the whys of the game.” Moore said Marrone and former Jets offensive line coach Bill Callahan are the two coaches he thinks work the hardest at improving every day. The way Marrone treated the guys buried on the depth chart showed it. “He had the Kevin Mawaes, Pete Kendalls, Dave Szotts, all these Pro Bowlers, but he felt like he was only as good as the backups and the young guys that were there,” Moore said. “I’ve had other O-line coaches that could care less about the guy that came here last week off the practice squad. He was out there working with us to get better because he knew we were only a play away.” Moore believes Marrone will be a successful NFL head coach. “He’s approachable,” Moore said. “His office was always open. You’d come in and he was always excited to see you. He was never standoffish. I think those things work well. He’s definitely going to find a way, offensively especially, to be successful.” Martin said in his 12 years in the NFL, he figured out what separated the good coaches from the also-rans. “One of the things I always recognized with coaches is how players respond to them,” Martin said. “A lot of people don’t think coaches make a really big difference, but I’ve seen coaches make all the difference in the world. It really depends on the type of person they are and the type of respect they have with the players. Those are the two things Doug has working for him, is that he’s a great person and he has a lot of respect from the players he coached.”
A coach that prides himself on hard work. He only is as good as the backups and the guys in the supporting roles, not the starters. This guy is the complete opposite of everything we've seen here in New York. All around football mind, knows offense, knows offensive line, knows football, strong leader, not afraid to act, takes command,etc. Everything we need.
Show us something to support this position that's anything more than a reaction to a media agenda ie. what are your facts?
Yeah Wtf? If people were reading more on him, they'd be swayed to wanting him more. All the articles now are praising the shit out of him. Articles that aren't headline driven bullshit
