Good to hear. Unlike some others, I had no doubt that Marrone would make changes, he's done that repeatedly in his tenure.
I hope ST is given a HUGE emphasis this offseason, because it's a unit that has always been absolutely critical to SU's success over the years. And we've basically ignored it for a good 7 years running now, which is completely unfathomable to me.

Hoping the ST coordinator comes from outside the program.
Have to think responsibility changes zero in on this being Conley and Brumbaugh's last day, Anselomo to LBs (that's what the site says) and Hackett not being OC/QB/TEs, which was way too much to put on an unproven coach (or a proven one) anyway.

I'd settle for a change-up now and then. You know, like not giving one qb every freakin' snap in every freakin' game?

I'm hoping all the changes come from outside the program. And I also hope they spend some of that ACC money on proven talent, and not just some coaching castoff or another Cortland State noob...
Who do you want to see?

So I guess the question is, is it recruiting or development? Hopefully it's the later because the cupboard is bare after the best one we have graduates next year.

OC/QB Tony Franklin
RB Wheatley
OL Adkins with Marrone taking more of a hands on approach with this group
WR Moore
DC Shafer
DL Daoust
LB Anselmo
ST/DB Mike Mallory with Shafer helping out with DBs so Mallory isn't stretched too thin
HC Marrone

Not bad. Who's coaching TE's? Split them between Adkins and Moore? Can Franklin and Mallory recruit and what areas would they be recruiting?

We absolutely have to have a top notch ST coach. We are giving pts away every game and leaving points on the field with abysmall ST play. I am most interested to see what changes occur on the O side of the equation.

Franklin is a Mumme disciple. So you bring him in for the system and hope that attracts recruits. Not really a guy to bring in for recruiting. Mallory is more of a Midwest guy which IMO isn't where our base should be. However he comes from a coaching family, has a ton of experience on D, has strong ties to Marrone, and has been assisting with STs the last 3 years for the Saints. You would bring him in more for his coaching ability than recruiting. We would have to rely on Adkins, Wheatley, Daoust, Anselmo, and Moore to be our primary recruiters. IMO we can't be successful at SU with just a bunch of recruiters. We will never out talent teams. So we need coaches who can coach up kids. IMO these two could do that.

An experienced coach who has built a reputation for attention to detail, intensity and preparation throughout his career, Mike Mallory will assist Tony Oden in tutoring the cornerbacks and safeties after serving as assistant special teams coach for three seasons. He brings 22 years of experience as a college coach to his post, including three stints as a defensive coordinator.
For the last three seasons, Mallory assisted special teams coordinator Greg McMahon. He’s assisted in the development of K Garrett Hartleyand P Thomas Morstead. Hartley has made 85.7% of his field goal attempts since joining the club in the middle of the 2008 season. Morstead, a 2009 fifth round draft choice, improved both his gross (45.9) and net (38.4) punting averaged in 2010 to finish among league leaders, while his 37 career touchbacks have been an asset on kickoffs.
Mallory joined the Saints in 2008 after spending 2007 at the University of Louisville, where he served as secondary coach. He spent the previous season at Kansas coaching the linebackers, and the five years before (2001-05) as an assistant at Illinois, including his final two seasons as the team’s defensive coordinator/ linebackers.
Mallory coached the Illinois from 2000-02 before spending next year working with the linebackers.
During his career, Mallory also coached the inside linebackers at Maryland (2000) and was the defensive coordinator/linebackers coach at Northern Illinois (1996-99) and Rhode Island (1993-95).
Mallory had a standout career as a linebacker at the University of Michigan. He was a two-time All-Big 10 selection and two-year captain. He was a finalist for the 1985 Butkus Award – given to the nation’s premier linebacker – and voted his team’s MVP in 1984. Mallory played in four bowl games and graduated with a degree in sports administration.
Mallory is from a distinguished football family. He is the son of Bill Mallory, who has served as a head coach at Indiana, Colorado, Northern Illinois and Miami University (Ohio). Mike’s youngest brother, Curt, is currently the secondary coach at the University of Michigan, and brother, Doug, is the defensive coordinator/assistant head coach at Indiana University.
Mallory and his wife, Kim, have a daughter, Kathryn, and a son, William.

Tony Franklin joined the Louisiana Tech staff as the offensive coordinator in February 2010, bringing an exciting offensive attack back to Joe Aillet Stadium.
In his first year on staff, Tech's offense exploded into a high octane mechanism in the middle of the season resulting in Tech scoring at least 20 points in six of the last seven games with the team scoring more than 30 points in four of those contests, guiding Tech to one win away from bowl eligibility.
Franklin joined the LA Tech family after spending one season as the offensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee. At MTSU, Franklin's offense generated 421.7 yards and 32.0 points per game, the fourth and seventh highest totals in school history. The Blue Raider offense, which produced three all-Sun Belt Conference players, had 30 or more points nine times and topped the 400-yard mark on eight occasions. Franklin's 2009 unit set school records in total yards, passing yards, and total points, while finishing 23rd nationally in scoring and 27th in total offense.
The end result was a 10-3 season that witnessed a 32-31 win over Maryland early in the season and a year capped off by a 42-32 win over Southern Miss in the New Orleans Bowl, the school's first bowl in the FBS era. The 10-win season was the most by any Blue Raider team since 1992.
Quarterback Dwight Dasher came of age in Franklin's offensive schemes. Dasher, a second team all-conference performer and MVP of the New Orleans Bowl, ranked 7th in the nation in total offense, threw for a school record 23 TD passes, and was named the SBC Player of the Week three times.
Franklin made his way to Middle Tennessee after a brief stint as the offensive coordinator at Auburn in 2008 and the previous two seasons in the same capacity at Troy.
In his two seasons at Troy, the Trojans went 16-9 overall and 12-2 in the Sun Belt Conference while collecting two conference championships. During that span his offense scored 30 or more points 11 times, including games against Florida, Georgia, and Oklahoma State.
In his first season at Troy, in addition to helping the Trojans to their first Sun Belt Conference title and a victory in the New Orleans Bowl, Franklin also helped engineer the second-ranked offensive unit in the Sun Belt just one year after the team ranked last in the league in total offense. The Trojans ranked first in the league in passing offense, again one year after ranking last, despite having faced three of the top 20 ranked passing defense teams in the country during the season, and improved in conference scoring from 12 points to 25 points per game.
Franklin also recruited 2006 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year Omar Haugabook who swept the top conference honors at season's end. Haugabook also led the league in passing yards per game, completions, and passing efficiency.
In 2007, the Trojans ranked 16th nationally in total offense and 25th in scoring offense.
Franklin joined the University of Kentucky football staff in 1997 following 16 years as a high school football coach. During his four-year tenure at UK, the Wildcats enjoyed unprecedented success on the offensive side of the ball, including setting several NCAA, SEC, and school records.
After coaching running backs for three seasons, Franklin was named offensive coordinator for the 2000 season and led the Wildcats to success as the nation's second-best passing offense as well as the nation's 11th-best team in total offense.
Franklin's two-back combinations at Kentucky outgained any two-back combinations in the SEC in total yards from scrimmage for three straight seasons. Quarterbacks Tim Couch, Dusty Bonner, and Jared Lorenzen each led the SEC in passing during their time as UKs quarterbacks, and Couch was the first player selected in the 1999 NFL draft. Several other UK players reached their goals in making NFL teams after their experience in the high-powered offense.
Franklin was also named one of the top 10 recruiters in the South during his four years at Kentucky as he helped lead the Wildcats to their first back-to-back bowl appearances in 15 years and their first New Year's Bowl game appearance in 50 seasons.
In 2001, Franklin authored a nationally acclaimed book, Fourth Down and Life To Go, which chronicled the good, bad, and ugly experiences of his college football journey.
In 2003, Franklin was chosen to lead the expansion franchise Lexington Horsemen football team in their inaugural season in the NIFL. The Horsemen exceeded expectations for an expansion franchise and earned a birth in the playoffs with a 9-5 record, while setting records for attendance and leading the Atlantic Division in scoring at more than 50 points per game.
USA Today took notice of Franklin's football coaching and teaching abilities in a feature story in 2005 which detailed his consulting successes as a nationally sought-after offensive football coach.
Franklin also received rave reviews for his second book, Victor's Victory, which chronicled the tragic death and spectacular life of 15-year-old Hoover High football player Victor Dionte Hill. Hill died from sudden cardiac arrest on the football practice field during one of Franklin's consulting sessions. The book has helped to continue the mission of Cheryl Hill, Victor's mother, to make teachers, coaches, and parents aware of the need for automatic external defibrillators (AED's) in every school and youth organization in Alabama.
Franklin achieved both his bachelor's and master's degrees in education from Murray State University, where he was a two-year starter as a running back. He is married to Laura Franklin, and they have three girls: Chelsea, Caroline, and Caitlin.

Casullo must have had a very delightful autumn, then...Another example of Marrone's cluelessness when it comes to assistants. Philosophical differences arise and become clarified during the course of a season. Find a way to work with the guy for the final game and then respectfully discharge him from his duties once the season is over, realizing that it was your mistake for having hired him in the first place.

I really believe the way to get special teams back on track is to have your best players filling most of the roles. I think it's a huge mistake to be loading up return and coverage teams with freshman.

I would generally agree with you but the lack of deptch on this team precludes that IMHO. The drop off between first and second stringers makes the threat of injury to one of your starters the great inhibitor. I really think that's why we saw so many youngsters playing ST the last 2 seasons.
Casullo was let go because of the way he treated players including Rob Long who later found out he had a brain tumor. I'm sure HCDM and BC had multiple discussions about his interactions with players during his time here. Decisions like this aren't made in a vacuum.
But then again, I'm sure none of this actually matters to you since you revell in complaining. Maybe you should get together with some of the other doomsdayers and start your own board. Afterall, misery loves company.
