In my opinion, I think if Marrone hadn't left, we very well may have consistently been in the Top 25.  Rescuing the SU program after GRob took into the abyss was just short of miraculous.  After we crushed WVU in the Pinstripe Bowl, I hadn't felt that good about SU football for some time.  Then, "[I]boom goes the dynamite!" [/I]

I think if the SU brass wasn't so rigid on some of Marrone's requests of what the program needed, maybe, he may have stuck around and not have bolted to the NFL.  Shortly after he left, amazingly, the indoor practice field that was on the back burner moved to the front.  Other improvements, weight room facilities, etc. came about.  Not to mention, since Marrone was an SU alum and stated to the world that this was his "[I]Dream Job,[/I]" SU didn't/wouldn't have paid him what he was worth.

That being said, I'm excited about Baber's being here and the direction in which the SU program seems to be headed.  Let's keep that train moving...get that Dome reno done!
