Message: [QUOTE="KCJax03, post: 783998, member: 356"] Disagree 100%. One of the things Marrone said after leaving was that his goal was to rebuild the program and he accomplished it. I am grateful for what he did to bring the program back from the dead but in my opinion he did not finish the job. The program was not rebuilt yet (i.e. system in place and consistently winning), it was in a state of transition and gaining steam. When he left and took the entire staff he compromised everything that was gained. When Coach Mac left, Syracuse had 4 consecutive bowl seasons and Pasqualoni went 20-4 his first two seasons after taking over the reigns. The program was rebuilt. Marrone did a lot of good things here but he left at a critical time when the program appeared to be ready to take the next step. Whether Shafer can continue the rebuild remains to be seen. [/QUOTE]
