"Long struggled his senior year, and in the middle of a late-season loss to Connecticut, Syracuse special teams coach Bob Casullo lit into him on the sidelines after several mistakes. The public dress-down seemed to last forever. A few days later, Marrone fired Casullo. He never explained why."

Anyone have a problem with this? Makes Casullo look terrible and Marrone like an angel. And a "few days later"... I don't recall the exact game, but Casullo was fired in the tunnel after a game. So it doesn't exactly make sense to say "a few days later" and leave those details out.

And then it came out that Long had a brain tumor - which kind of gave the special teams coach a little bit of a pass for a portion of its bad play.  Casullo was not fired for dressing down a kid who had a brain tumor.

NOT TO MENTION it came a few paragraphs after this GEM - which just so happened to not name the ex syracuse assistant who just so happened to be the same special teams assistant the article kind of bashes. Why in the world did they not name the ex assistant?
"But just before his interview, the New York Daily News ran a column citing anonymous sources who called Marrone a control freak and a phony who belittled his staff. Then an ex-assistant on his staff at Syracuse piled on in a radio show, and suddenly Marrone's name was toxic."
