Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 469375, member: 2265"] [SIZE=16px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#444444]One such name is Doug Marrone, the coach at Syracuse, whose name began to emerge in late November. He's a former NFL coordinator respected for doing a highly respectable job at Syracuse and is definitely interested in returning to the pros.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=16px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#444444][url]http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/21486727/tenpoint-stance-big-names-there-but-more-teams-seek-next-tomlin[/url][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=16px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#444444]Note the time frame - late November. It this is true he is gone.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=arial][COLOR=#444444][SIZE=16px]I can think of a lot of reasons this may be true but the #1 reason IMO would be that the dream turned into a nightmare. After a terrific start, and getting much praise, he ran into the losing streak and saw the fans turn on him as if he had accomplished nothing. I remember the look on his face at the presser after the MN game and thought wow - that is a beaten up guy.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=arial][COLOR=#444444][SIZE=16px]Everyone remembers he said he would quit if he thought he could not do the job. He never said he would do so without another job in hand. Well, he won't have to coach the oline in a high school in TN.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=arial][COLOR=#444444][SIZE=16px]We will probably never know what happened to turn him off but I do know that we should be forever grateful to Doug for returning the program to respectability. If he goes, I hope he finds happiness and gets paid a fortune. [/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=arial][COLOR=#444444][SIZE=16px]I will root for him wherever he goes.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=arial][COLOR=#444444][SIZE=16px]Let's hope CBS is wrong. I fear they are not.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
