I haven't commented on this whole situation yet... but now that something has actually happened I will. 
 
Like most (some I'm sure are glad) I'm disappointed that he is leaving because I think he was building a winning program here and he was a good ambassador for SU, but I understand that he is a competetive football coach and that the ultimate goal for just about any competitive football coach is to be a head coach in the NFL... there is no higher challenge than that.  He was on that track when he was hired 4 years ago, and instead he came into SU, his "dream job", and resurrected the program from the depths of despair... now he has an opportunity to go back to the NFL and achieve another dream/goal.  Doug Marrone doesn't owe us (SU fans) anything else in my opinion... now it's time to make another good hire and keep the line moving.
 
In the short term, it's painful for the fans, recruits, and current players but once a new coach is identified then everyone can move on... the next week or so is going to be critical for the near term success of the Syracuse football program depending on how SU handles the situation and who they hire.  Hopefully they choose wisely.
