I agree with most of that except the last sentence. No coach is winning 6 games with Patterson, Moss, and Lane. Gregory likely is a WR and not a DB which makes our D a lot worse. But the O certainly would have been better. We likely have a 2002 like season.

People need to remember too that he cratered UConn. The four years prior they were 33-19 with 8-5 being their worst record. He went 10-18 there.

His success post SU has been as an NFL DL coach. I think that says a lot about his ceiling.

Also Coach P being a yes man hurt our program. Part of the reason why Marrone left was not getting enough support. On the one hand you admire Coach P's loyalty but at the same time it would have been best for the program if he threatened to leave. He and Jake let the program crumble.

He had a great stretch at SU but it was time to move on. What he has done post SU IMO reaffirms we made the correct decision. But as you said it was done poorly.
