Message: [QUOTE="LeMoyneCuse, post: 187835, member: 158"] We've seen what Doug Marrone is made of since day one. He's determined, stubborn, and not afraid to pull the plug when something isn't working. He dumped Rob Spence and Bob Casullo before the 2009 and 2010 seasons were even finished. This year, he's putting special teams on his own shoulders. He's also willing to let others make their own decisions. I don't get the whole "micro-manager" thing. He's given his Defensive Coordinator lots of space there- bringing in Michigan guys and recruiting players who seem to fit the scheme. The offense may not run like a top, but it's not like we're trying to run a plan that doesn't fit the personnel (ie 2005). And that may reflect on the talent as well as the scheme. But to say Marrone needs to step it up this season is message board hyperbole. He's evolved as a coach and program CEO, but he certainly hasn't changed that much since he came in. [/QUOTE]
