Always amused by what we seem to forget or discount when it comes to Marrone. Marrone inherited a team that went 5 and freakin 37 the 4 years before he arrivedl; and a program that was a national laughingstock. Over the course of 4 years, his first as a HC at any level, he went to, and won 2 bowl games, and shared a BE conference championship. His 2012 team set the [B]all time SU records[/B] for:
[LIST]
[*]Total offensive yards: 5,681
[*]Yards per game: 473.4
[*]Total plays: 939 (78.25 per game, regular season)
[*]Passing yards: 3,619;
[*]Passing yards per game: 301.6
[*]Completions: 283
[*]Pass attempts: 449
[*]First downs: 276
[*]Passing TDs
[*]Ryan Nassib was one of only 4 QBs the history of the BE to pass for over 9000 yds
[*]Alec Lemon set the all time SU record for receptions with 70 in 2012, breaking his own record he set the previous season. He ranked 20th in the country with just over 96 receiving yards per game.
[/LIST]
He left SU, creating a tsunami of ill will here, to take one of the 32 most coveted jobs in coaching. He then lead the Bills to their best record in 10 years.

Marrone may be a lot of things, fair or unfair, real or imagined. Like him or hate him, your prerogative. But there is no denying what he was able to accomplish here.

I agree with Tomcat, Marrone will be HC again in the near future.
