No doubt, actually, beyond impressive.  Grob, along with the prior administration had this program in the abyss, beyond the Marianna Trench.  One could even make the statement that what Marrone accomplished was rather miraculous in nature, especially when considering what he was up against relative to the inadequacies of the athletic department and university leads relative to assets, infrastructure, etc.

Marrone, for all intents and purposes, begged and pleaded for the university to invest in its program on its most critical fronts; IPF, etc., but it was placed on the back burner at the time, even when at that time, SU was beyond a day late and a dollar short.

The saving grace (literally) of SU's football program was the invite and life line from the ACC.  If not for that, the extremely poor leadership by the prior powers that be would've never been able to rescue the football program from that gross negligence and incompetence.
