Maybe Buffalo found their diamond in the rough with Marrone, and I'd take him over Kelly, but passing on Lovie Smith or Ken Whisenhunt for him will come back to bite them, in my opinion. We'll see. I'm shocked after the Chan Gailey experiment that they'd go this way again.

And I take the different tack, he played in the league, coached in the league and then took over a losing college program and made them successful. And being from the area, he has that god will built in.
Syracuse people always being talked is the only hesitancy I have, so much of the northeast media being syracuse grads.
