Doug Marrone lands on this list not because he has any unreasonable amount of pressure more than other coaches but because he’s under extreme ownership uncertainty. The passing of Ralph Wilson leaves the team with a looming ownership change that could spell the end of the Doug Marrone tenure in Buffalo. He, along with most of the front office, are coaching for their jobs this season. There will need to be a sense of urgency on the coaching staff to have a certain degree of success for which new owners might want to build on as opposed to making a clean sweep and starting over with a whole new staff.
