Great post... the one part I disagree with is your third bullet about Marrone needing to do what is best for his family and that means moving up to the NFL.  There is a risk reward component to every decision. During one of the games I was watching last weekend the announcers were speculating that the average NFL coach lasts about 3.5 years... so if you look at Marrone's decision he's looking at an average of 3.5 times $3MM (to keep the math easy) in the NFL which is about $10MM.  From reading posts on this board he can probably get $2MM a year at SU  and he can easily do that for the next 10 years if he wants to so that means $20MM pretty much guaranteed.  Under this analysis if I'm doing what is best for my family I'm staying at Syracuse hands down.  Now if Marrone truly wants the challenge of coaching at the apex of his profession then that's a different story and he should go for it if that's what he wants to do but please don't say he's doing whats best for his family because that is not 100% certain.
 
In my world of technology I'm facing that decision now... either uproot the family and move to silicon valley to take a exec position at a start up or stay in my current job in Chicago right below exec level which is very comfortable and pretty stable.  The start up route has much more upside but also a much higher potential for flaming out.  Obviously we're not talking anywhere near the numbers that Marrone is talking about but its the same risk/reward calculation everyone has to make.
