Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 1483581, member: 204"] Gross didn't ruin the program. Others were responsible for that. He made a lot of mistakes but you have to give him credit for a lot of things: (1) he immediately replaced the Dome AstroTurf; (2) he immediately installed Field Turf practice fields; (3) he renovated Manley for football use; (4) he improved the Football Office Complex; (5) he made a number of amenity improvements to the Dome etc. And, he did other things - he built the Melo Center and he greatly improved SU Olympic sports. He had his short comings - he was not a detail guy - he was not that good with follow-up and he clearly enjoyed mingling with the SU aristocracy rather than the people. Coyle will be an improvement and I truly believe the Football Program will flourish under his leadership. [/QUOTE]
