Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 785702, member: 363"] Agree 100%, people make this much more difficult than it actually is. No fans, no facilities, equals a field day for other programs. I have had conversation with one coach in particular that use to recruit against Syracuse he said that was absolutely the angle that was taken time and time again and it worked, they didn't see Syracuse as a huge opposition because of it. This coach recruited against Syracuse for two different programs and the message was the same. He also said GROB was a very good recruiter but once he posted the first two disasterous seasons and people knew he had a train wreck on his hands he was all done as it was easy to tell he wasn't going to make it. I think when Marrone went 8-5 year 2 he hoped for more fans, more $$ for facilities. I really believe that when Doug took this job he planned on being here longer than he was, maybe not forever but 7-8 years. [/QUOTE]
