2015 already looking to be a mess for the Bills- Marrone opts out

Too bad for Bills fans, Orton retired and now Doug Marone has opted out of his contract with the Bills, making him a free agent coach. I supposed they can hang their hat on going 9-7 and having no first round pick next year.

...per Schefter. He's opted out of his contract.

Interesting.....

Wow, immediate suggestions he is the new favourite to land with the Jets.

Why, did he write his resignation on a napkin?

"I resign as HC of the only NY team."

Sources tell ESPN that the New York Jets will have strong interest in Doug Marrone.

Why not? I mean he did win his Super Bowl..

PFT headline from this afternoon:

Marrone can leave, but it’s still likely he’ll stay

Text from Bills captain Eric Wood on coach Doug Marrone opting out: "Definitely didn't see it coming. Crazy."

Looks like a SB hangover has already begun

Bills have no first round pick this year, and no quarterback. And....

While Marrone was negotiating an extension beyond the two years remaining on his four-year $16 million deal, uncertainty over potential organizational changes influenced his decision, according to sources.

Marrone's clause also allows him to walk with his 2015 guaranteed base salary of $4 million without it counting as an offset against any future salary even if he should land another job, sources said. Marrone now is free to negotiate with any team seeking a head coach.

lol

probably thinks with what he did with the bills he can get a better gig like atlanta or the niners those teams have much more talent than the bills overall

Oh I hope they get Sexy Rexy up in Buffalo.

The bills went from a QB away from being a team to make some playoff noise to a team starting over, basically from scratch in less then a week.

This kind of makes sense

The Bill Polian/Bills rumblings have persisted. And if he lands there, Tom Gamble and Frank Reich would make a ton of sense joining him.

I'm not sure the new ownership would be quite that brain dead.

No way. Rex with that defense will be a problem, and if they happen to finally get a decent QB in the next two years they'll be a serious problem IMO.

Don't want Rex's blitzes in the AFC East anymore. Was fun, but not that fun.

Rex is done in the AFC East

How much of Rex's success on D against us can be attributed to the divisional rivalry though. I don't want Philben gone because he's beat the Pats a couple times in the last few years.

Rex is almost guaranteed ineptitude on offence and I'd take that with the entertainment value.
