Guess so but it was his dream job until he realized he was working for two complete jackasses in Cantor and Gross. The man absolutely has his flaws(thin skinned as all hell, generally miserable personality) but he brought us out of one of the darkest 4 years Syracuse Football has ever seen.
It was a statement from 16 years ago.
Like I said. I don't hate him. I actually think he's a darn good coach. But I'm always gonna call him Dream Job Marrone and thats just what it is
I had a dream job once. Then my supervisor left, then my coworkers left. They didn't fill those positions properly. Dream turned into a nightmare, it happens. Stop acting like a prom date whose dude is dancing with another girl.
Read my post above. I dont hate the guy. It's just his name. I think he's a good coach
His staff did a good enough job of recruiting. He’s recruiting the same type of kids we are right now. It was just the assistants doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Also, people make it seem like he never left campus. He was out plenty.
You know how many HC’s have said that, especially first time HC’s? The man had HS facilities when he took over. There were promises made and promises not kept. We were lucky to do as well as we did with the amount of investment we had at the time. Sure he got new stuff but those were bottom of the barrel upgrades to some of the worst facilities in P5 and probably a lot of FCS at the time. That’s on Gross and the AD’s before him who didn’t invest back into the program, instead putting athletic department earned into the University slush fund.
At some point, having issues everywhere he goes... perhaps HE is the issue. I do not think anyone would have begrudged him leaving for a better job. But to leave that better job in a weird way also. Seems like a difficult personality himself. Alabama fans say he ruined their offensive line the year he was there. Too busy working on the binder for the next job, I guess.
