When Doug Marrone left the Buffalo Bills head coaching job last week, I thought it was entirely the money. (The greatest coaching contract in NFL history paid Marrone four million dollars duty free if he left after an ownership change, and he can still take any other job AND get paid for that job, too.)
Nope.
It's the mark of a true weasel coach. And here's how I know:
On Monday, December 29, Buffalo quarterback Kyle Orton, at a spot in his career when he might retire any year now, decided he would retire. Head coach Doug Marrone was personally and publicly offended that Orton would quit without telling anybody in advance.
On Wednesday, December 31, head coach Doug Marrone quit without telling anybody in advance.
Ohhhhhh. Now I get it. I thought he was just a bad coach.
