Message: [QUOTE="jkm54, post: 58767, member: 1385"] I guess we're in much better shape then that you're not running the program because when Marrone was hired, we were probably as attractive as ECU and Tulane. When Syracuse hired Marrone, yes, it was too much to get a guy who is polished. An absolute abhorrent team for almost a decade; garbage facilities; a half empty stadium on good days. Skip Holtz was as polished as it got when it came to those expressing interest and he turned us down. (I think that's how it went down) Sorry, but I think you're overestimating how good of a job Syracuse head football coach is. And to see that anyone thinks we can keep a top tier coach for an extended period of time without the possibility of him leaving for greener pastures, no matter how much we're paying him, is laughably unrealistic. Call it pathetic if you like; I call it appreciation for bringing 'Cuse football back from the brink of falling completely off the deep end. [/QUOTE]
