Message: [QUOTE="SmilinBob, post: 325039, member: 857"] I like Marrone as SU's coach and just basing my opinion on what I've heard/read he seems to be a good man that isn't superficial and gets to the point. I believe the more comfortable he gets in his HC role the more a lot of fans/recruits will like him and see him as a good guy that knows football and cares about SU and the kids that go there. With that, he isn't going to damage anything like Robinson did and what he does ain't sexy by any means but when you're trying to build a solid foundation you have to build a solid base and this is what I believe him to be doing. That said, I really expected the oline guys to be the best part of his teams and we have yet to see that. I'd like to see more playmakers as well from his recruiting classes and we haven't seen that as of so far. I do find it ironic some have pointed out the easy wins when SU usually and will from here on have one of the toughest and deepest OOC SOS's. Yes, I want more wins in the big east but when you're playing a lot of tough teams OOC you get beat up and I think this has hurt us in the big east so it's really hard to judge DM because we've had shallow depth but it is time for him to rectify that and 2012 has to start being that timeline. I like the speed he has started to build up here on the hill as well and that is one of the things that always pulls you away from the little guys, speed and size (yes of course talent as well). He should get an extension and have a chance to continue building this program up and I truly believe that in 4 years we'll laugh at these posts like people did Mac when they thought he should be let go or not extended. Marrone is far from perfect but I do like the direction he has this team going and no not the losing streak but constantly working hard and doing things like the Fort Drum trip for example. [/QUOTE]
