Former Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone has come back to the NFL.
Marrone has been hired by the New Orleans Saints as their offensive line coach, according to Saints Wire. He replaces Brendan Nugent in that role for New Orleans.
Over the weekend, the Saints named Dennis Allen their new head coach. He was previously their defensive coordinator and he replaces Sean Payton, who retired.
Allen has made a few changes on the Saints’ coaching staff and adding Marrone is among them.
Most recently, Marrone was Alabama’s offensive line coach in 2021 at the college level.
Marrone, 57, was Buffalo’s head coach in 2013 and 2014. Upon the sale of the team to the Pegula family, Marrone decided to leave his post. Prior to that, he was the head coach at Syracuse University.
After the Bills, Marrone spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars and eventually was their head coach.
Earlier in his career, Marrone did spend time coaching offensive lines both at the college and NFL level, including with the Saints from 2006 to 2008.
