Message: [QUOTE="OrangeMuskyFish, post: 109878, member: 261"] I say give him a three year extension this very minute. I'm sure that is unpopular at the moment, but here's my thinking. Whatever he does next year will only set up the following season. He isn't going to be fired next year unless we do the unthinkable and have a 2-10 type year. He will get at least two more seasons, so IMO the idea of giving him an extension now has little risk anyway. The positives however may include... - The potential for saving money by locking him into his current salary. I don't know what happened midyear, and perhaps we will never know, but a corresponding winning streak next year puts us right back on scheduler, leaves this debacle in the rearview mirror, and makes Marrone an under the radar commodity once again. Don't think he would leave, but might cost more to keep him. - I have to imagine the locker room is feeling just as bad as we are on this board. Some kids may love it, some might hate it, but making a public commitment to Marrone will only help shore up the unity, one way or another. - I continue to believe that the man is trying so hard to rip respectability from the cold, dead hands of GROB's tenure, that it is having a residual effect on many different areas of the program. Is he capable of relaxing, of remembering that this is supposed to be fun for everybody? I don't know... but getting that calming vote of confidence certainly could help with that. - While I am not sure if the administration would do this, I would use it as a bargaining chip. Kind of one of those, "no problem, you definitely deserve to have some more security. Now that we got this taken care of, how bout you go find a Special Teams coach and either go back to calling plays or hire an experienced OC, *wink wink*" [/QUOTE]
