Hot seat?

[44PRIDE]

What say you?

 

[matcuse]

i say we go 1- and whatever...yea there will be discussion

 

[jcuse44]

i say we need to hire a special teams coach. we tell hackett to throw to sales 1 out of every 5 plays. we stop giving broyld the ball as a running back. we NEVER run a sweep with jerome smith ever. we learn how to tackle. we tell nassib to stop diving head first.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Marrone is done unless Hackett and every other o coach besides wheatley is fired. this team is looking at 2-3 wins tops, enough is enough lets finally open the vault and get a freekin coach this program is a joke

 

[OrangeCrush22]

Terry Bowden.

 

[Cuseregular]

not yet. Short of going 1-11 then no, and if better than that prepare for one more year of suffering with Marrone, unless a miracle occurs, and then they move on. They might want to keep him like Mac and give him extra time but the fans are going to continue to check out even more and they'll have no choice after year 5.

Not that anyone up there cares what I or anyone else here thinks but can't be fooled into false hope like the last guy hoping he can "grow with the job" This guy cannot do it, sad to say.

Hot seat started before the season, imo. He needs to get a bowl game at the very minimum. This is year 4 with a 5th year QB, there are no more excuses.

 

[JJReddawg]

I was all for an extension, but the seat is on fire now in my book. A bowl game two years ago doesn't give you an extra year when this is what is being put on the field.

 

[GoCuse44]

My gut feeling is Marrone will resign and go back to the NFL if this team goes 1-11 or 2-12 in the ACC next year.

I have heard rumors that the one thing he does not like about college football is the time away from his kids due to time on the road recruiting, etc.

He isn't going to resign and walk away from all that money. He will force SU to fire him so he gets paid

I thank Doug for bringing us up from the depths. He's replenished the roster with quality talent and has re-established our recruiting grounds. We are in the process of updating the facilities and are moving to a solid conference.

Doug has built a solid foundation. Now lets get someone in here that knows how to call a game...

 

[mikekan14]

He should get fired if we end the season with 3 or less wins. He won 4 games in his first season. It's his players, his coaches, his program now so setting a new career low (no matter the schedule), is reason for termination. I don't think 4 wins is an unreasonable benchmark - though it may be now at this point.

If not...Sonny Dykes? Pat Narduzzi? Mario Cristobal? Steve Addazio? I don't know. I'm rooting for Marrone since he's a Cuse Alum but at some point, results should speak for themselves

i honestly think this nails it on the head. Love the guy, he really dug us out from the absolute basement of basements...but his game time decisions are just not solid. I think he has to go

Other than the Smith sweep at the goal line, I don't think the play calling was bad.

I fear failure has become acceptable with this program.

 

[baggerbob]

His philosopy of offense is not going to work at this school. We have never had the type of lines who dominate both sides of the ball. Look how many of the people who come here, and go on to play pro from the offensive line. I don't remember the last all-pro offensive lineman. We occasionally get a good one on defense, Our QB has to be mobile, with the ability to make plays.

 

[Stern]

If he loved SU half as much as he claims he would resign. Hopefully we'll find out, but I fear failure has become acceptable with this program.

Loving a school and being flat out stupid to the point to walk away from hundreds of thousands are too different things.

I agree. SU was at its best during the McPherson, Graves, McNabb years...not to mention driving dc's crazy trying to game plan against the freeze option, etc. It was an exciting brand of ball imo...

This was the worst playcalling I've seen from Hackett or Marrone yet. There were no less than 20-25 questionable calls. This is a passing team and that is where our strengths are, yet we continue to sweep Smith out to the left and run PTG up the middle.

Throw the ball 70 times per game. Teams are still lining up 7-8 guys in the box on most plays. Make them be honest damn it.

 

[Chip]

Check back in 4 weeks. If we were to start out the Big East season 0-3, is there anything left to defend?

It's not as hard to imagine as I thought at, say, 7:59 pm today.

 

[Jasoncuse]

Every week this team gets outcoached. EVERY WEEK. I'm happy that the offense was opened up a bit more this year, but come on. There are so many mistakes, so many questionable decisions and so many moments each week where you just scratch your head and wonder how this is a HC at a BCS program. It's awesome that Marrone bleeds orange and that's what this program needed after GRob, but at this point, I think he's in lame duck territory. He just isn't good enough and moving to the ACC will make that even more apparent.

It's hard to envision the program recovering any time soon unless there is a big name coach or more importantly, a guy with the ability to recruit and coach the hell out of an offense.

 

[Crusty]

Just look at the body language in his presser. This loss seems to have really hit him hard.

 

[OrangeFoo]

Because he has no answers... He thought these guys had turned the corner and he just got bitch slapped. He needs to sacrifice a goat or something to get rid of these fluky turn overs...

I don't know what the answers are because I thought we had turned a corner also... It is against his nature to be more aggressive but that is what needs to happen. I don't think Doug has it in him to go against his instincts.

Just look at the body language in his presser. This loss seems to have really hit him hard.

 

[rrlbees]

It wasn't just the loss that made him seem that way. It was also how we lost and played. A total breakdown or major mistakes in almost every unit at some point along with poor coaching decisions again.

When will the rumors of Lloyd Carr being spotted on campus start?
