Douglas Charles "Doug" Marrone (born July 25, 1964) is an American football coach whose most recently is hired as the offensive line coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide. He was previously a head coach of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, where he coached from 2016 to 2020. He also previously served as the head coach for the Buffalo Bills from 2013 to 2014, and also was previously the head coach at Syracuse from 2009 to 2012, where he previously played college football.[1] [2]
Marrone won the Pinstripe Bowl twice with Syracuse, which led to him being hired as the Bills' head coach. He helped the Bills obtain their first winning record during the 2014 season, their first in a decade, but opted-out of his contract the same year. Joining the Jaguars in 2015 as an assistant coach, he was named interim head coach near the end of the 2016 season and officially became head coach for 2017. His 2017 campaign was his most successful, leading the Jaguars to their first playoff appearance since 2007 and their first division title since 1999 en route to an AFC Championship Game appearance. However, Marrone's subsequent seasons saw the team finish at the bottom of their division and he was fired in 2020 after obtaining a franchise-worst 1–15 record.
