Doug Marrone Is A Weird Dude

I imagine it can be an awkward situation if you’re an NFL coach and you don’t have authority over your roster and it must be even more awkward if the guy who does have authority over your roster is definitely a better coach than you. In this situation you can’t blame Jaguars coach Doug Marrone for trying to diffuse any awkwardness between himself and Jaguars executive Tom Coughlin as any friction between them would probably lead to owner Shad Khan keeping Coughlin; but did Marone have to show us how weird of a dude he is? Marrone talked about how he doesn’t care to be the boss because he is never the boss, sort of weird for a guy that leads 53 modern day gladiators into battle 16+ weeks a year (52 if you rightfully disqualify Blake Bortles) but I guess the self-awareness is refreshing for the NFL. Marrone started with a comment about how he isn’t the boss at home, pretty good, happy wife happy life, right? Wrong, Marrone said at home with his wife his father-in-law (former Middle Tennessee coach James “Boots” Donnelly) is the boss. What the fuck, Doug you’ve spent years as slightly below average NFL coach to support your family and you can’t even be the alpha male in your own home? Let your wife boss you around all you want but I’ll be damned if I would let my father-in-law be called the boss in my own home. How do lovemaking Tuesday go in the Marrone household? Little Dougie on the bottom while Boots coaches from the corner? This is why NFL coaching is so terrible right now, what are we going to learn next? The Harbough brothers are afraid of the dark? Bill O’Brien is a master catfisher? Pete Carroll is sexually attracted to vintage cars? God, I long for the days when all we had to worry about was Rex Ryan’s ferocious defense and foot fetish.
