Message: [QUOTE="Orangetradition44, post: 472853, member: 161"] A smart man once said that loyalty goes both ways. I said that firing him was a legitimate course of action (happens in business all the time). I still believe that, depending on all the circumstances (how much the program was being hurt, how likely it was that Doug would get a job, etc). I do not believe any coach who interviews for another job deserves to be fired. In your opinion, should we be conducting a pre-emptive search now that we know he wants to leave? Or did we already start one? And if we did, and we found the right coach and the program was being hurt by Marrone's public campaigning for a new job... Why not cut your losses and move on? One of the key justifications for Marrone's hire was that he WANTED to be here. As far as I'm concerned, now that he doesn't, he's simply not a good enough coach to risk the program over. The program is bigger than Marrone. [/QUOTE]
