Did we load up on Jucos because Doug knew...

Did the Big Balogne know that he was leaving? Is that why he loaded up on Jucos?

 

[OrlandoCuse]

He was bringing in Jucos every year.

Not sure I understand that reasoning. Can you expand on your logic?

1. The CEO of the Bills has strong ties to SU, no way he would nagasaki our program under the cover of darkness.
2. TGD said "he has a job for as long as he wants it" code- he may be going to the NFL

We will know if Marrone was fair and up front with the program in the very near future.
I am most concerned with TGD's future at SU.

I don't understand, either. Why would leaving making him favor JUCOs over 4 year guys, unless he was planning to leave two years from now?

 

[priestp]

Didn't the JUCO guys sign early?
Therefore avoiding a decimated recruiting class? (numbers wise)

Simple Jucos had to sign before he came out of the closet. It may have been his way of protecting the program from losing the majority of recruits HS kids can still change their mind

Russ Brandon is a huge douche. I would hope he is removed from the athletics advisory board. He has really never done anything to be on that panel. Glorified ticket taker for the Marlins and rub the Bills into the ground.

Please stop with the silly conspiracy theories. I doesn't do anyone any good.

That makes sense. But consider that until the 10/19 Connecticut game Doug had a 19-24 record and had lost 9 of 11. How many NFL clubs wanted him then? Perhaps he was going to leave even if it wasn't for a head coaching job?

Not so much do you want the whole list of people from SJF who can not stand him and think he is a self-serving ass-hole.
