Good points. I too would be wary of drawing too broad a conclusion about SU based on Marrone's actions. As someone else pointed out, maybe it wasn't so much the pay but that he thought he wasn't getting paid enough to deal with all the crap that he had to deal with. But some of that crap may not be so onerous to someone else. Maybe he just figured out that after 4 years, he can be an effective head coach at this level but that he can have the same effect in the NFL without worrying about recruiting, schmoozing with the donors, keeping track of the kids in the program, etc. AND get paid significantly more. So he took his chance.  But we simply can't assume that the downsides of this job are the same for every coach. Other personalities may not think this is all too much for them to deal with for the money available. They might have their own problems but they likely won't all line up with what Marrone's problems were here.
 
I definitely agree with the general question underlying your post: can't this move be more about him and not as much about SU as a deeply flawed institution, which has been the insinuation of many?
