Marrone extension... Now.

Time to extend. Progress is being made. Doug is showing that he can learn from his mistakes and, although stubborn, is not too stubborn to change if he is not succeeding by doing it "his way."

I said a few weeks ago that SU would not earn a bowl berth this year. I'm still not sold that we will go bowling but the evidence is clear that this team can compete every week. Extend Doug now and send a message to our recruits that SU is on the way back.
 
Watching this game again right now. I'm currently in the middle of the 3rd quarter rampage we're putting on. Good lord I can't wipe the grin off my face. Watching the players and coaches on the sidelines and the Cuse fans in the stands is so fun to watch.
 
The program is headed in the right direction and while the job is incomplete but it should be clear that DM is not going to be fired. He is on a three game winning streak, 3-1 in the BE and has just had the most inspirational win in at least 50 years.
Since it is inevitable that he will get an extension, now would seem to be an optimal time and might help inspire the team as well.

He has learned from adversity and shown he is capable of growing. He is stubborn but not dogmatic. The players obviously are behind him. I think he has earned an extension so lets do it now.

Recruiting is the biggest benefactor of them announcing an extension now. Show the recruits and their families that DM isn't going anywhere and he will be here to coach them.
 
As I posted earlier I'd like the assistant coaches rewarded as well but for those of you that know, how old are their kids? I see that Shafer and Wheatley have kids on FM's football team...would this help keep them here as well due to the excellent academics? Football wise let's face it, NYS is far far behind but if these kids are not D1 I'd venture a guess that academics would be pretty high on the list.
