Message: [QUOTE="OrangeBlood, post: 634081, member: 1446"] This whole Bills v. SU is the most ridiculous thing in the entire world. Russ Brandon, The CEO of the Bills (now runs the franchise) sits on a board at SU and is from Syracuse! He has Basketball season tickets!!! They don't hate Syracuse, if they did they wouldn't have hired Doug Marrone. All the people who are angry at Doug need to get over that he left. An NFL job is better than an ACC job. Yes, he took HIS assistant coaches, he brought those guys in and lets not forget THEY wanted to leave with him. You can not blame him for taking his guys to his new job. I know if I got a new job that I would want someone that I can trust. As fas as the players are concerned, he has the duty to pick the best players for his team. If you are angry they didn't take Nassib or Shamarko you don't understand the business. His feelings can't get in the way of taking the best players. You know it was hard on him to pass. But he had to, Lets be honest, EJ Manuel > Ryan Nassib. Lets not all forget that the Doug, the most hated man EVER, brought in everyone's hero Shafer. He would not be here without Doug. If you do not think we will miss Doug's ability to coach, then you are nuts. The guy is a wonderful O-Line coach, one of the best in football. I am seriously concerned about that unit this year. He is also a master organizer and CEO. If you don't give the man credit than you are blind. THIS PROGRAM WAS THE WORST. He won two bowl games and improved basically everything about the program. I beg all of you haters to see reason. The man took a better job and took his staff who he trusts and had a duty to allow his GM to take players that were better than his former ones. What is so wrong about that? SU Football is ok, and a hell of a lot better because Doug Marrone was the coach here. So I say THANK YOU for all you did for SU Football and good luck with the Bills.
