Message: [QUOTE="supp, post: 50482, member: 702"] He got a 5-year deal. Pretty standard. I agree that at the end of this year, you start to have the discussion about an extension. You don't want schools to use his contract against him but you don't want to go overboard in committing to the guy either. One thing that Gross has going for him is that Marrone has repeatedly said that this is his dream job and I think that he genuinely means it. You don't have sell the farm to get the guy to stay and he'll surely be on board with using the extra money to keep/attract good assistants. Sign Marrone up for a three-year extension at the end of the year and bump up the pay for the keepers on the staff. [/QUOTE]
