Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1526211, member: 628"] I think most people understand why he left. There are only 32 NFL HC gigs, you don't pass one up or walk away from one (oops). What annoyed me was the timing, which may have been unavoidable, but it still sucked. Leaving in January made doing anything but hiring from within impossible. And then he took most of the staff with him, so the new HC had to build a staff on the fly while trying to hold together the recruiting class. Everything about that was lousy. Plus the "dream job" schtick rightfully stuck in people's craws. We were *just* turning the program around when he bailed. Again, I understand why, but I'm not a fan of the Buffalo Bills or Doug Marrone. I'm a fan of Syracuse football, and selfishly him leaving at the time and in the manner he did hurt the program. So I don't think it is at ALL wrong to be a little perturbed by that. [/QUOTE]
