Message: [QUOTE="Todd Gack, post: 491742, member: 869"] Be mad -- knock yourself out. But college athletics at this level ain't beanbag. And I have no idea of the promises made by Marrone -- nor would I bet do you -- but he (reportedly) also felt some weren't kept on SU's end either. (The job was certainly less "dreamy" to him than it was in 2009, as Rahme has stated.) Gross wasn't so mad at him that they didn't talk last Thursday. The worrisome thing to me is that some of you think things happen in a vacuum. That if we got a different head coach, we would've kept the staff and recruits together. That we can start threads with the title "[Expletive] Marrone" and recruits, parents, and outsiders won't think negatively of the school and its fan base. Now we're saying we have zero respect for the man who worked hard to bring SU football back from the brink. What prospective coach would want to walk into a situation where taking away a 34-year-old coordinator garners such vitriol? [/QUOTE]
