I believe Doug has at least 3 more years here to really improve the program, he has a lot of people on his side that matter. He has a few that aren't as well but that is pretty common. In addition, I think we will see improvment this year, he needs to show improvement in conference this year. If you look at the schedule, the only way we make a bowl game is to have a winning conference record, and beat NW or Minny. Don't see Mizzu or USC as games that we will win. That is not asking too much, don't know if it will happen but my point is, Marrone isn't on the hot seat just yet. I don't think musical chairs is the answer for Syracuse and I am pretty middle of the road on Doug, he has had some real great moments and some real dismal ones as well. ( again not out of the ordinary) That said, he realizes what is at stake and the reasoning for him shutting things down a bit. Win one more game and things would have been soo much better, not making excuses because he didn't.
 
The objective this year split the big 10 games, winning conference record, get to a bowl game. It is doable. There isn't a Big East game that we CAN'T win. I hope Doug wins 6-7 games this year, I hate the coaching search, the raised expectations, it is destined for failure at a capital limited program like Syracuse.  If Doug continues to improve, grow as a HC so will the program.  No doubt last years was step in the wrong direction, how will he resond is the question?
