My point in pointing out that Marrone inherited a much weaker program than GRob had not a lot to do with talent comparisons, neither inherited a great roster. It had to do with where the program was when Marrone stepped in and where it was when Robinson took over.

Robinson may have had some talent, but he didn't do a great job coaching the TEAM up.

I think Marrone has...at least I don't cringe nearly as much watching Marrone's teams as I did in the choo choo era.

Marrone has taken over a program that was barely breathing and has performed some CPR. The patient hasn't come close to fully recovering, but at least I think we're off the critical list and hopefully on the way to a healthy recovery.

I think Marrone is a way better coach than GRob. Talk of his perceived weaknesses and strengths is fair game, but to hint that we aren't better off, and Marrone doesn't deserve some credit for that, borders on delusional.

I just want to make it clear that I think coaching and recruiting seem to have improved since Marrone took over and consequently Marrone should be granted credit and time to accomplish what is not an easy thing to do.

He took a total embarrassment and seems have it moving in the right direction. Fast enough for some...no.
