Interesting. Marrone got the Bills to their best record in 10 years, and just narrowly missed the playoffs. There must be something else going on.
Maybe he wants to pursue another coaching job, we'll see I suppose.

He prolly felt like a bit of a lame duck, with the new owner there now

He wants to coach the Jets... For some reason.

It was expected that Bills coach Doug Marrone would choose not to exercise his three-day option to leave the Bills. (When someone told me today it was 95-percent certain Marrone would stay, I should have known he’d be walking away.)
It wasn’t known that Marrone, if he chose to leave, would walk away with his full salary for 2015. According to ESPN, that’s precisely the term he negotiated when he became the coach two years ago. Marrone gets $4 million for 2015, with no offset if he takes another job in football for next season.
He also seems to have worked out his deal so he gets paid in full from Bills for this next year no matter what.
