A local guy was saying how ridiculous all of this anger is over the coaches leaving like this, telling me that this is just business, & the fanbase has no right to be bitter.
 
I can't think of many other professions where a job change can cause such an  avalanche of destruction, leading to instability & possible economic collapse. In other industries, there are non-compete clauses which restrict the activities & movement of a former employee, but for some reason, it ceases to exist in the sports world. 
 
Doug Marrone has basically caused a serious problem in the Syracuse area with his decision to leave & take some of the staff with him. Like I said, in other industries, you can't do this without punitive civil actions sanctioned against you. 
 
This is something that must be addressed in sports to encourage loyalty & honor in this profession. One way to deal with this, is to require a certain amount in monetary damages if they leave before securing any of the unsigned recruits. The amount should be prohibitive enough to make them think twice before leaving prematurely. 
 
Any other ideas to bring more dedication & honor into the athletic ranks would be welcome.
