[QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 163648, member: 204"]
I read one of your posts in which you indicate that you have been watching SU Football for 47 years.
 
I have been watching for about the same period of time.
 
I remember, and would think that you remember, the nearly 20 year period from 1968 to 1987 when the program was either horrible or very mediocre.
 
I would think that you would understand that moving the program from horrible to mediocre to very good took a lot of time and a lot of money - read the Carrier Dome.
 
Doug Marrone took over a program that had won ten games in four years. It had a one win season, a four win season, a two win season and a three win season.
 
The Program was in shambles when Marrone took over. There really is no other way to describe it.
 
It took Coach Mac and the impact of the Dome six or seven years to build a solid winner.
 
It took Marrone two years to get to a bowl and will take him and an influx of real money to establish the program as a national contender.
 
You with your years of experience watching this Program should know better than anyone that this is a work in progress.
 
There will be steps backward from time to time, but the future is very bright.
 
So chill out.
