I don't want to rehash the Marrone debate since that horse was beaten to death, reincarnated and beaten to death again more times than I care to remember. But Marrone was a terrible game day coach... yes he got his guys ready to play but when things went south during a game he made very few adjustments and he was terrible at game management. I will give him all the credit in the world for a) hiring Shafer as his DC as he was more responsible for any success the program had in Marrone's first three years than anything Marrone and his offense did and b) Marrone's players never quit on him. I will also concede that Marrone's last year was the most fun I've had watching Syracuse football in the last 15 years (before this one). But he then took any fun and hope that came from that season and put lighter fluid and a blow torch to it. The biggest indictment of Marrone is the mess that he left behind when he left which Shafer only made worse as a head coach. Now here we are trying to clean up the mess that Marrone started and Shafer completed.

I also stand by my statement that Marrone sucked all the life and fun out of football with his miserable and arrogant attitude both at Syracuse and Buffalo. I will never ever support a team with him as head coach again unless he makes a Tom Coughlin or Terry Collins like 180 in his coaching style and his personality. The last words I will say about Marrone will be a direct quote from him that I believe epitomizes everything I can't stand about him: "Saint Doug"
