Couldn't agree more.  I felt like those coaches (especially Marrone) were able to frequently out-scheme opponents, putting the team in position to win some games with clearly inferior talent--or at least depth of talent.  I still remember some of those games the year after GRob left, where our kids looked like a high school team compared to the opposition, but we held in games with freaking Paulus at QB and linemen that looked more like intramural floor hockey players than D1 football studs.  I sat right behind the SU bench that year, and was just amazed at the size and speed disparity in our program--yet we still managed to hang in games.  Say what you want about his recruiting efforts, etc., but it's difficult to argue that Marrone did not possess a respected offensive mind (see experience with the Saints, etc.).  I'm [U]super[/U] curious heading into the is year  to see whether McDonald, Perles, etc., can manage this coaching transition effectively, and keep the trend of positive offensive gains going.  I think we have more speed and weapons now than we have had in the past few years, and I keep find myself feeling optimistic about this year.
