What a moron. Arrogance does this to people. You are the coach of one of the up and coming teams in the league. You are just starting to build a good rep as a pro coach. Apparently, that comes with the same guarantees as a 5 time Super Bowl winning coach. He took the money expecting to be hired by a new team as a head coach. WRONG! How much is he earning as an assistant coach? Major fail.
His $4 million is guaranteed when he exercised his option in Buffalo.
Business decision.... but I agree with your point
No doubt the way Marrone handled his exit had some impact on his not getting an HC job this cycle. Lack of loyalty to ownership will do that in this league.
Aren't coach's contracts usually guaranteed anyway? Kind of weird.

Yah, and how much will he earn next year as a coordinator. He would make 4 million to work this year and probably 4 million this year. He took a risk and probably lost.

Exactly!
No surprise there. Will likely deny Clements in CLE as well.
Slocum is available for interviews!

Can't deny Clements as lateral hires (in this instance, OC to OC) can't be blocked. AVP was being considered for an OC and could be blocked since that ranks above QB coach.
EDIT: Cleveland hired its new OC this morning. Hope he's renting and not buying.
@alexmarvez: Source tells @NFLonFOX that @Browns are hiring John DeFilippo [former Raider QB coach] as new offensive coordinator.
Packers can block Van Pelt because he is under contract for 2015 season. At least that is what the article said. And I thought you could block lateral moves but not promotions depending on the contract language.

Don't want to let any of this soft coaching staff get away!

I think that's correct. Thus the reason Wiston Moss was given the title of Asst HC and if you notice, has only been considered for HCing jobs. If under contract, I believe it was either McGinn or Demovsky that said he could be denied a DC opportunity because GB added the HC title to him
All moves other than a promotion to head coach can be blocked.
Yesterday word got out that the Redskins had requested permission to talk to three assistant coaches from other teams about their vacant defensive coordinator position. They were granted permission to talk to 49ers secondary coach Ed Donatell and Chargers linebackers coach Joe Barry but were not permitted to talk to San Francisco defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. So what are the rules for NFL teams allowing their assistant coaches to talk to other teams about jobs?
The rule is pretty simple. A team can’t block an assistant coach, including a coordinator, from interviewing for and accepting a job as a head coach. All other moves, including from assistant coach to coordinator, can be blocked.
It's taken Easy Ed a long time to get back into the talk of being a coordinator.
quote:They were granted permission to talk to 49ers secondary coach Ed Donatell
Donatell did an OK job with the Packers. Go back and look at some of the slop he had to work with under Sherman. One season his starting linebackers were Nate Wayne, Na'il Diggs and Bernardo Harris. And if I remember correctly, he also had the immortal John Theirry at one of the defensive end positions.
Donatell wasn't a great coordinator, but he was Dick LeBeau compared to Slowik, the guy Sherman replaced him with. Talk about a scapegoat. Sherman ****-canned Donatell about 9 seconds after the 4th and 26 game.
Former #Packers D-coordinator (2000-'03) Ed Donatell rejoins DC Vic Fangio in Chicago as secondary coach. They were in SF since 2011.

@AdamSchefter: 49ers gave Eric Mangini a 3-year deal to be their defensive coordinator.
@MikeGarafolo: Word is Redskins wanted to talk to Packers' Alonzo Highsmith for director of personnel job. Packers denied the request to interview.
@MikeGarafolo: Actually, let me fix that: Redskins have requested permission to interview Highsmith. No word yet on GB permission. My bad. Misunderstood.
No surprise. McCloughan was a former scout with the Packers and probably knows Highsmith well. Would be surprised if TT let him go.
Tomsula and Mangini - the sad face express.
Pre-Dawn
AM?
@Gil_Brandt: Looking like Dick LeBeau now heading to Titans. Always good to make the wife happy. Seems to be the case here.
Just read that the Jets have hired the Packers Asst OL coach Steve Marshall as their O-Line coach. Sure felt like he was a big help this year.
@Edwerderespn: #Broncos have hired Wade Phillips to be Gary Kubiak's defensive coordinator. Phillips had same job for Kubs with #Texans. Out of FB in 2013.
He added a lot of players, not just Packers players.
If Wade Phillips is the answer...what was the question ?
Name a very good defensive coordinator who has repeatedly sucked as a Head Coach for $500?
I don't know, but call Elway
So Rex gets his tattoo changed from Jet Green to Buffalo Blue. Glad he has his priorities straight.
