Its a roadblock to think anyway else is non visionary.  SU has not supported the FB program and it showed prior to the IPF - many of the other Universities have IPFs dedicated mainly to the FB program.  You are either in the arms race or you are not.  SU decided to jump on board and make it a priority and is now building an IPF - it took Doug to leave the program to get this going.

Here is where you and everyone else who thinks this way was wrong.  Marrone told Gross exactly who he was taking based upon who Gross decided on the next HC - it was up to Gross to decide if it was Shaffer or Hackett or someone else as our new HC.  Gross picked Shaffer.  Marrone told Shaffer exactly who he was taking right from the get go.  Shaffer was perfectly fine who Marrone took with him as Shaffer wanted to bring his own people in.  SU did a poor job communicating who was leaving causing many to be bitter about the whole thing - SU Athletics marketing and AD was to blame here - they handled the whole thing poorly.
