I think Marrone is an old-school guy with an old-school way of doing things. Whether that works in today's 21st century is debatable, but it is what it is. And unfortunately, I'm not sure it's going to change.

I think this is much more about overall philosophy than it is about recruiting areas. I think one of the biggest things that is needed in order to be a successful coach in today's world is adaptability. In coaching on the field, in coaching off the field, and especially in recruiting.

I'm willing to give Marrone a little more time -- he was tossed into a tough spot and needed to change the culture, at whatever cost that was. Bees and certain others may disagree about the tactics used and who was sent packing, but ultimately it produced an 8-5 season in his second year after having gone five years without even sniffing a winning record.

But this past season certainly was not what I expected in a lot of ways. We should have won more games, plain and simple. And a lot of the reasoning behind not winning falls on the laps of the coaching staff, IMO.
