Message: [QUOTE="Ernj, post: 463945, member: 494"] I don't put too much faith in the "dream job" statements that football coaches make. Part of the job is to make people think you are into 100% because it helps with many things, like recruiting, attendance, the idea of stability, etc. There have been plenty of examples of coaches saying "XXX is my dream job" then they leave to greener pastures. Though, I don't know Marrone personally so I cannot say whether he is speaking the truth or saying what people want him to hear. One thing that makes me think he will be around for a while revolves around the legend of his binder of names he brought to his interview for recruiting. If his plan was to stay in NFL, or to make a move there this quickly, there would be little need to even keep contacts with high schools. My guess is he kept lists of contacts with HS's because he genuinely wanted to keep contact to help with long-term recruiting. [/QUOTE]
