I don't post much and I have a different outlook on Marrone's departure. Trashing him seems both counter-productive and, most likely, wrong. First, as an Executive Recruiter for the last twenty years, I can tell you, very seldom does anybody get recruited who isn't doing a great job where they are.  To be called into the NFL after only four years speaks volumes about the job he did at SU. The success and promotion of the Marrone staff will go a long way toward getting qualified coaches to come to the snowbelt in the future.
He left us a promotable number two who immediately got to work replacing a staff that he most likely would have replaced anyway. He got his full team together immediately and put them on the road. Based on the quickness of the assembly my guess is that HCSS knew DM was taking his guys and set up their replacements beforehand. We lost Allen but we got a couple of decent Wide Receivers and another QB. It'll all even out.
It appears to me (from the distant sidelines) that a Robinson-esque replacement would have stopped the ACC from considering SU.  Syracuse is on the front side of a parabola and that is Marrone's fault.
One more rambling endnote: It drives me crazy when teams call opposing teams they are beating, "Overrated." Shouldn't you be proud that you've beaten such a highly rated team. 
Let's hope Marrone does well and we should take the credit.
