Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3497280, member: 652"] His in game coaching decisions were gutless. He played not to get embarrassed not to win. We didn’t even try to hire anyone else and it wasn’t to late in the process to get a decent coach. It was in January. Plus Dr. Gross knew Marrone was looking at NFL jobs. He wasn’t caught off guard Marrone left. Hackett was by the far the better upside choice if Gross had to go internal. The hiring of Shafer was a dumb decision that was done to save money. Gross was under pressure because the AD was going thru it’s audit and spending was out of control. Gross hired Shafer because it would be cheap and Gross thought he could survive the AD audit as ACC money was coming the next year. [/QUOTE]
