Great post all around. As to the last paragraph, quoted above, I think the fans would like to make a commitment. But we've (at least I) have felt burned in the past, and once bitten, twice shy. I thought with the recent trends and happenings that the University was beginning to make tangible commitments to football. As a fan, I am with my pal Cuseregular on this; I am wondering how much I should support a program that doesn't receive internal support of the highest caliber. I usually wait on season ticket purchases until I see my kids' activities for the Fall. If Doug Marrone bails now because of a lack of institutional commitment, that tells me all I need to know about my fall activities.
 
As to the rest, it's all relative. In some cases, people select under-employment (lower wages than the market could otherwise bring, for example, in order to live in a preferred area, or closer to family, etc. In Marrone's case, I always thought he'd do a rebuild and put in a good decade or so here, but the possibility of the NFL siren song would arise. Never thought so quickly. Even if he started down this path just to test the waters or make a statement, the lure of NFL cash could be too much to resist, dream job or not.
