Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 740687, member: 2265"] OK, I just have to say this is a tough room to play. Give these guys a chance. They were hired late, uprooted their families, inherited a depleted roster and have done a great recruiting job so far with damn little to work with. After four years with 5 future NFL players on his roster Marrone went 8-5 not 10-2. Hackett stunk up the place for quite a while and we still don't know how much was him and how much was Ryan. I suspect a lot more of the success can be attributed to Ryan than we might think. Marrone left because he found out the job was much tougher than he thought and he got while then going was good. Reserving my right to complain about any play that I don't like, I give my support to these guys until they have had a decent chance to show what they can do. Put yourself in their shoes and have a little empathy, Hang in there staff and don't let the turkeys get you down. Go Orange! [/QUOTE]
