Message: [QUOTE="FAL, post: 616178, member: 2294"] Like a lot (most?) of the posters here, I was extremely disappointed when DM announced his intention to leave the program. But in hindsight, he really did us a great service. It seems it is almost unanimous that everyone here thinks that SS was a great hire... but it would not have been done if DM didn't leave. I certainly have no way of proving it, but I would bet that Marrone heartily endorsed Shafer to the good Dr. Gross and the others in the selection committee. And seriously, can anybody deny the fact that Marrone left the program in better condition than what he inherited? From the garbage heap to respectability in 4 years. He's giving HCSS a very sound foundation to build on. If anybody can show that I am wrong on this point, I'd like to read it. So good luck to Coach Marrone in Buffalo, and thanks for helping us get a great coach for our beloved Orange! [/QUOTE]
