Career

Career as a player

After high school, Marrone played for Syracuse University in New York State from 1983 to 1985 . In the 1986 NFL Draft, he was finally selected in the sixth round in 164th place by the Los Angeles Raiders . He could not prevail, however, followed by short stints with the Miami Dolphins , the New Orleans Saints , the Pittsburgh Steelers , the Dallas Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings . In total, however, he only came to five appearances in the NFL.

In 1991 Marrone finally signed a contract with the London Monarchs in the World League of American Football , with whom he could also win the World Bowl in 1991 . In 1992 he finally ended his active career.

Career as a coach

After retiring, he became tight ends coach at Cortland University in 1992. This was followed by further positions as an assistant coach at several universities before he became Offensive Line Coach for the New York Jets in 2002 . In 2006 he moved to the New Orleans Saints, where he also became an offensive coordinator . He got his first job as head coach in 2009 when he became a coach at his old university. With them Marrone was able to win the Pinstripe Bowl twice. After these successes, Marrone became head coach of the Buffalo Bills in the NFL in 2013 . While in his first season 6 wins were compared to 10 defeats, he was able to win more games than lose in his second season with 9 wins and 7 defeats. The Bills finished the season as 2nd of the AFC East , but missed the playoffs. After the 2014 NFL season , Marrone left the Bills after the club's owner changed.

Less than a month after leaving the Bills, he accepted a position as an assistant coach with the Jacksonville Jaguars . After their head coach Gus Bradley was dismissed on December 19, 2016, Marrone was initially interim, and from the 2017 NFL season also officially head coach of the Jaguars. In his first season he was able to win the AFC South and thus reach the playoffs , where they were only eliminated in the AFC Championship game at the New England Patriots . In the next two years, however, the Jaguars could not build on the success and ended both seasons with more defeats than wins in 4th place in the AFC South.
