Like that list, but some comments on what is practical/timing.
1.   For facilities, what we need is a Melo center for football -- indoor practice field, rehab etc facilities, academic support center.   Need that naming grant of $5MM and 12 plus months to construct.
2.   OC -- not going to happen any time soon, within our budget for assistants (because the real priority is keeping Hackett) and given what Marrone sees as his own role.   Marrone has already turned over defense; he isn't doing specials; he isn't inspiring on the sidelines.  What is his value if he isn't applying his experience on the offensive side?  Marrone & Hackett have to evolve as they bring in talent and as Hackett evolves his playbook to fit QBs like Broyld and Hunt.
3.   Skill positions -- The real needs are more to make sure Broyld and Hunt are surrounding by serious skill at RB and receivers.   RB and receivers can play as frosh -- Joe Morris did (big impact in his 5th game?); Mike Williams did. Taj Smith came in as a JUCO and had immediate impact.   With the other blocks in place, two impact skill guys (RB, WR) could make this offense relevant as soon as next year.
