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 for a decade during the 2014 season, 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 a franchise-worst 1–15 record. Marrone returned to college football before being hired by the Saints in 2022.
