Message: [QUOTE="orangenirvana, post: 785851, member: 156"] If you're saying Marrone would have been better off hiring a previously successful recruiter with contacts like McDonald than promoting someone who ended up knowing how to run a decent offense then that's an interesting debate. The OC and HC should be on the same page and I'm sure Hackett wasn't promoted because Marrone felt he was a puppet, I'm sure he had original ideas that he brought to the table. Marrone probably also recognized that he has the personality type that generally attracts recruits. I don't think that we should just assume that the offense would be having an equally tough time now if Marrone/Hackett hadn't left. My guess is they would have figured out a way to make Loeb/Hunt at least look like Division 1 football players. [/QUOTE]
