Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 2454681, member: 204"] You're asking me who relates better to 18 year old kids? A 53 year old former NFL football player versus a 56 year old former CFL football player? I don't know the answer to that question. All I know is that Marrone, the younger of the two men, relates well enough to athletes that he has improved every program for which he has been the HC. Unfortunately, kids these days tend to decide where to attend school based upon tangible things like facilities. Every program has coaches who relate well to kids - that's what they do. The fact is that Doug did not have the kind of facilities that Dino now has. And Dino does not have what we need to truly improve recruiting. But we're getting better. [/QUOTE]
