Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 59525, member: 363"] I would go out and do two things.. Raise money, find a way to get it done, find someone that can get that done. No excuses, don't want to hear them. Upgrade facilities with this money. The way that the school is going about fund raising is horrendous. Mid size donors have to track down people to write checks. I would force Marrone to can Hackett and find an OC with a proven track record running a succesful system in the college game, off the top of my head, who knows maybe the OC at Toledo, Houston, Southern Miss, or Nothern Illinois a school of that nature, Southern Miss, may work as it is down south I don't know. In addition, I would make sure that this individual can recruit and has the track record to do so, not stories that he can recruit, show me his geographic area, relationships and who he has under scholarship at his current school, again proven track record.. I like Marrone as the HC not the OC and he needs to be given every opportunity to improve recruiting with facilities upgardes as I maintain they are almost the worst in the BCS but he also needs to find guys that can recruit when we start beating 2-3 other BCS schools for the majority of our recruits and bring in the NYC rwa talent that seems to be coming in we should see an upgarde. That is what I would do.. I would implement the system from DAY ONE. no BS. The sooner you do the sooner you start winning and winning consistently and big. Use the dome, looked like WVU still scored a lot versus Rutgers in bad weather last week. Note- I did not every say FIRE MARRONE people, please, please please. If he cant get it done after year 5 maybe 6 then he needs to go because we will get ass raped week by the better teams in the ACC if we run this product out there but you cant run a BCS program on a shoestring budget, I realize we need to get crative on the fund raising but it needs to get done somehow [/QUOTE]
