Good OC's don't grow on trees. Usually (but not always) they learn under successful programs. Successful head coaches that have a system breed OC's that are talented enough to enhance the system and put their own stamp on it when they get a chace to be a HC.
 
Marrone has to create an offense that works at SU. I don't think he was entirely prepared to do this in the past, partly because of some early success, but I think he gets it now and he has some playmakers coming in that can execute. Until the last five games last year we were getting by and looked headed for another bowl season. I am sure he was aware that we had been very lucky and had looked weak in victories over Toldeo and Tulane, but he probably believed/hoped (as did I) that we would improve over the season. We didn't.
 
I think DM now gets it big time and he is making an effort to change things up. IMO I believe the reason that practice was closed was to keep the new things under wraps from BE DCs. Maybe this is wishing thinking but I think he probably didn't show us much in the spring game either. This year might tell us where we are headed as an offense.
