Your assessment of Robinson as a recruiter is not accurate. His record confirms his ineffectiveness in all aspects of running a college program.

Perhaps the best indication of Robinson's inability to effectively recruit is the fact that in his first year, Marrone was forced to use a basketball player, who had not played the position for four years, as his starting QB.

Nassib was not a "very good QB" when Doug Marrone arrived on the Hill. He was mediocre at best.

Marrone developed him and created an offense that allowed him to be remarkably productive.

The "some people" who "wanted him fired" - whoever they were - obviously were wrong.

Off the top of my head, I recall that Marrone beat K-State, Missouri, West Virginia and probably others - none of whom was in the Big East.

Sorry, but your observations are simply not supported by the facts.

By any measure, Marrone was a great head coach at Syracuse University.

You take care.
