First off, I love how our butthurt -- thank you, Syracusefan.com, for teaching me that term -- has gone from Marrone promised not to take Shafer or Hackett to promising not to take anyone from the staff. You want me to read history -- I suggest you read your own.

Also, I love -- as in, I think it fits the CNY mindset / the self-indulgence on this board -- that people feel personal animus to what they think / know Marrone promised someone else. I hate to break it to you, but Marrone isn't making life decisions -- for him or particularly his family -- based on how you might feel.

Just as you cannot say whether the coaches who left wouldn't have left regardless of Marrone's interest in them, you cannot express the totality of what Marrone told Gross. You simply can't. And even if you could, if Syracuse football isn't big enough to overcome the loss of these coaches, God help us.

I think Marrone was wound too tight and is better suited for the NFL -- but the sense of personal disappointment in how he left is, to me, an embarrassment to this fan base. Grow up, move on, and Go Orange.
