P won six games in 2004. He won a conference crown. He went to a bowl game.

He beat Pitt, Rutgers. UConn, and clobbered BC at BC. Hard to compare that to 10 wins in 4 years or 3 wins last year.  And now it's his fault that the administration wouldn't spend money???

Oh my goodness you are so wrong.

As far as your Ga Tech measure of coaching is concerned the fact is that blow outs occur in bowl games all the time.  See Dabo getting wiped out by WVU just to name one example.

Bowl games are often wild cards due to the long lay offs. That P was measured by that game was an example of the kind of amateurish decision making that Cantor undertook at the time. Using it in this thread is just as inappropriate. Indeed the measure you are now advancing set the program back at least five years.

And the idea that we now have to examine point totals game by game in assessing coaching success and skill is nonsensical hairsplitting - a search for an argument.

Marrone ran the program. Like his decisions on issues like memorabilia or not he ran the show with decisiveness and leadership. He was a major talent and force and the NFL knew it.

He was great at SU.
