Message: [QUOTE="Cuseregular, post: 483007, member: 185"] you and this guy are on the same page... [url]http://blog.syracuse.com/opinion/2013/01/timing_of_departure_a_blow_to.html[/url] And at the risk of repeating myself, I was good with all of this as it just being the way it is having seen it first hand myself years back. But what's different is my old coach was up front from the get go about his plans, Marrone based on the totality of the evidence lied all along the way, to Little via Hackett, to recruits also via Hackett, to the players in that now joke of a letter to them (the Bills exec. said in the presser he'd been watching DM since he went to the UCOnn game so I'm sure there was early contact and not just after the bowl game and his shower with the "20 calls" BS), to us and Buffalo fans by saying the OC will need to have NFL experience setting us up and creating the scenario for further damage to the program here with his pilfering of Hackett. Guy up and baled instead of fighting to leave the program on an even better footing of where his yeomans work has gotten it thankfully, BUT, Fight the freaking good fight to get more $ for your assistants, fight the good fight for better facilities, etc. and if by year 6 or 7 you're still fighting and it aint happening, well you've put in your time enough and move on with the program on a less tenous footing. If there hadn't been SOME movement in that regard to facilities or if there wasn't a brighter future ($) on the horizon with the ACC, I'd get it more and be more cool with it, but clearly with Manley and the locker rooms etc., they have at least started to see it trending positively. I was ok with all of this until the final lie with Hackett, as well as Hackett lying for him and also now having all of this confirmed. Not that its so horrible we lose Hackett, but because it shows the guys a Chalatan and FOS. This post is not so much written with concern for the future of the program as I think SS saves the day, but more to express disdain toward the old HC for, shockingly to me, the person he turned out to be. What you and the letter writer posit is spot on. DM will now mostly be jeered instead of revered here, and rightly so. [/QUOTE]
