I think that if you feel this way, then you have to roll with the punches. All of the negative crap that you spew out about the deficiencies of the program, the way it's headed, etc., is the way a lot of people think around Syracuse. Just wish everyone would take a step back and look at it from a broad perspective, rather than over-analyzing blow-by-blow details of everything that happens.
 
Things have improved in the play on the field under Marrone. That can't be debated - at least I think it can't be.
 
Facilities are improving day-by-day. Rome was not built overnight. Everyone is doing their job to get football to where it used to (and needs to) be.
 
The one fault that I have with Darryl Gross is the hiring of Greg Robinson. And it may not even be the hiring, but the stubbornly sticking with him a year too long. That dug the hole even deeper, and now we are incrementally trying to dig ourselves out.
 
I don't think the program is as far away as people think - we were able to hang with some pretty good teams this year. Yeah, I have issues with play calling at times. The overall lack of big plays on the offensive side is also frustrating. But I'm not going to sit here and say that I know everything there is about football (as many do), and could do a better job than Marrone or even Hackett.
 
I know it's the offseason where people can get restless about the program and where it's headed. But I'd just, for once, like to hear an optimistic view of things rather than everyone looking at the negative side.
