The success of the hiring process for his second head football coach should have determined Gross' fate.
But when Gross foolishly hired Marrone, he knew it was a no lose situation for him personally. If Marrone turned out great, he's the hero. But if Marrone sucked he could point and say, "hey look, even your own 'Cuse guy couldn't fix this program." Which would shift blame to alums and former players.
We're already in the ACC and it probably had nothing to do with Gross. Time to send this hotshot back to Cali.
