There are 119 teams playing D1 football.

By my reckoning, the fans of at least 50% of them wish to have a coach that can "sell, recruit and one that can score points".

The great problems with this are that:

1.) These guys that can do that who are willing and able to change schools are extremely rare and are sought after by many suitors.

2.) That success at one school doesn't necessarily translate into success at another. (Rich Rodriquez and many others). Your boy Leach discovered that there were a goodly number of good football players in remote Texas towns that were being overlooked by UT, aTm and the dozens of other schools that recruit Texa hard. I don't that formula will work in New York.

3.) Sometimes in an effort to improve things, you actually make things worse (Randy Edsall at UMD, GRob at SU and many other examples)

I think the University is going to keep Marrone a long time.

I don't think Gross wants to give up on him and expose himself to having to pick a third FB coach that might also be unsuccessful
