What's different about his approach is that he is making NYC metro an area of concerted focus, whereas most teams do not. The formula is similar to what everyone else is doing except for that.
 
I've often wondered what was in that binder, and what he focused on during his interview when he said that he had a plan to rebuild the program.  Surely it was more than a list of phone numbers for coaches he'd amassed during his time as a coach.  I'm thinking that pitched Gross et al on the idea that NYC is the biggest population center in the US, and that there were a lot of athletes in that area who play other sports, don't have the concerted focus on football, don't have the same coaching as other states, etc. but that this population can be mined for quality athletes that other schools are missing.  And I'm thinking that Marrone had a somewhat "unique" perspective on it, as a NYC football player himself, a guy who helped support camps while he was in the NFL, etc.
 
So far, it looks like he might be on to something.
