How Marrone has scammed 2 NFL teams into head coaching jobs I will never understand. Saban was beyond terrible in Miami. Spurrier was a joke in the NFL.
The exception to this is Jimmy Johnson. And it took the single worst trade in NFL history for him to turn the Cowboys into Champs. And they hit on so many draft picks that Derp-Derp Switzer led that roster to a ring, and that makes JJ the biggest outlier ever.
Any NFL team that gives a college head coach with that resume a contract like that deserves all the bad football they are going to have to watch.

Assuming he’s going to fail just because he’s a college coach is a lazy ****ing take. It’s not like the guy has no experience in the NFL.
There’s a team sitting as the #1 seed with a predominately running QB. The NFL is constantly evolving. Just because it hasn’t worked out much in the past, doesn’t mean it never will.
He’s an impressive dude with a great resume and to be dismissive of all that just because he’s a college coach reeks of ignorance. That doesn’t mean he’s going to be successful, but it’s easy to see why he’s so highly thought of in NFL circles.
