Who knows what Gross did or did not promise in terms of facilities. If you buy the "control freak" personality, I seriously doubt Marrone walked into the HC's office on day 1 and was blindsided by the state of the state. It seems more reasonable to assume that he became increasingly frustrated with the university's commitment, or lack thereof, to improving the infrastructure. Take my word for this, he was not shy about telling even casual acquaintances that he would win and win big with upgrades to the facilities (see OPA post above). [/QUOTE]
