So you use letting go of Casullo as stupid and a criticism of Marrone? Did you watch the games last year? I sat right behind SU's bench and watched Casullo rant and rage constantly, grabbing and screaming at players, refs - anyone who was near him. I watched him berate Rob Long from the sideline to the bench and for a straight 5 minutes. I thought it was a horrific display and this was before anyone knew of Rob's cancer issue. He did more to embarrass himself than anything Marrone did to him. Wasn't he the same coach who threatened to bench Rob Long and had another kicker quit the team totally while his ST struggled, yet you think it was Marrone who embarrassed him? I think everyone including Marrone, Casullo and the fans are aware that Marrone made the hire. He was man enough to let everyone know that he was admitting his mistake and took responsibility for letting him go too.
I can understand Casullo being upset about losing his job - who wouldn't be? But to cheer when SU made mistakes is pretty immature and solidifies in my mind Marrone's decision and when he made it. He was cheering against players and fellow coaches he was supposed to care about not just Marrone, the head coach. Why even watch an SU game - to look forward to a bad performance? His emotions continue to be disturbing. Regardless if players like you or not - how one handles oneself is key. Certainly doesn't sound like Casullo has ever taken responsibility for what he could have controlled. Being beloved isn't the goal and shouldn't be of any coach but treating others with respect and controlling one's own behavior and emotions certainly should be a basic - win or lose.
