Presser

The video for this presser is awful.

by GrossSuperman on Dec 12, 2008 2:17 PM EST reply actions

Horrible...

The video feed stinks and the audio is almost unlistenable.

That said, the DOCTOR just said that Marrone was the only person to whom he offered the position. So Gill never had the opportunity to accept or decline….. great.

That's a loaded statement

Could mean he just didn’t offer it in writing

by Sean Keeley on Dec 12, 2008 2:37 PM EST up reply actions

plz

Gill wouldn’t take the SU job over Auburn anyways…and who says that Gill would have been the Savior?

by Obmij76 on Dec 12, 2008 2:47 PM EST up reply actions

Doesn't look like Gill is going to be offered Auburn job

So it doesn’t make sense. Buffalo was a train wreck before he got there and now is in a bowl and a better team than SU.

I

turned it off after five minutes. It was stuck on a close-up on Coach Mac. Yikes.

by Sean Keeley on Dec 12, 2008 2:36 PM EST reply actions

Don't we

supposedly have a good journalism department? Shouldn’t they know how to cover a press conference?

by Otis Hill on Dec 12, 2008 3:15 PM EST up reply actions

im at work

whats the story?

by ryanwk628 on Dec 12, 2008 2:41 PM EST reply actions

showed up unannounced, hit Marrone over the head with a steel chair, Gross ripped off his suit to reveal a purple ECU shirt and they stole Jim Boeheim’s Intercontinental Title just before challenging him and John Desko to a steel cage tag-team match in St. Louis…only on PPV this Sunday!!!

Thats better then anything WWE has put on the air in years. With the problems I had with my feed, that all could have happened too.

Dear God

If only I had thought to post that first.

by SpotOnSpotwood on Dec 12, 2008 2:57 PM EST up reply actions

Sorry. I wasn't very clear.

I meant this mini-off-color joke thread started here.

by NOLACuse on Dec 12, 2008 3:23 PM EST up reply actions

Mole

I have a dude at the press conference, he is going to ask about Orgeron. He thinks Conley is a lock to stay, so he isn’t going to ask about that.

Presser

Key things I gathered from the press conference:

1. Doug Marrone was the only candidate offered the position.
2. The football members of the group that did the hiring were high on Marrone.
3. Doug doesn’t feel that this is a “rebuilding” job but rather a “rejuvenating” job.
4. Revenues are really hurting in the Athletics Department as almost everyone that spoke called for people to show up in the Dome.
5. Doug Marrone hates bloggers.

by GrossSuperman on Dec 12, 2008 2:48 PM EST reply actions

Why #5?

What did he say?

by Sean Keeley on Dec 12, 2008 2:49 PM EST up reply actions

He said...

…something about how he is going to wail on the blogger who said he wasn’t very sexy and refuses to take the Caps Lock off when discussing his BFF.

by Bernie Fine is the Man on Dec 12, 2008 2:50 PM EST up reply actions

Isn't that

me?

by Sean Keeley on Dec 12, 2008 3:01 PM EST up reply actions

Sounds like Marrone was checking

Comment

His comment was something to the effect about how coaching is in this day and age when you are competing for recruits with other teams and you have all these people putting information out there and he specifically mentioned bloggers. Give them about twenty to put the presser online and it is right at the end of his final statements.

by GrossSuperman on Dec 12, 2008 3:01 PM EST up reply actions

Yup, bloggers equal wins and losses

I think the Syracuse blogosphere needs more “want-to.”

by Hoya Suxa on Dec 12, 2008 3:18 PM EST up reply actions

Someone needs to start a blogosphere PR firm

Seriously, do coaches realize what an ally bloggers could be? Friends close and enemies closer guys. Don’t alienate the people that can bury you with your own words before you even finish saying them.

by NOLACuse on Dec 12, 2008 3:22 PM EST up reply actions

I'm gonna

try and get an interview with Marrone. See if we can start fresh.

by Sean Keeley on Dec 12, 2008 3:26 PM EST up reply actions

Make sure you mention

you’re just fightin’ the fight out here in the blogosphere.

by SpotOnSpotwood on Dec 12, 2008 3:28 PM EST up reply actions

$100 buck says his e mail

will be dmarrone@syr.edu

by ryanwk628 on Dec 12, 2008 3:32 PM EST up reply actions

A quick search on SU's directory tells us no one else has it

So I’m betting you’re right.

by NOLACuse on Dec 12, 2008 3:53 PM EST up reply actions

Darnell Marrone

will be disappointed

by Sean Keeley on Dec 12, 2008 4:15 PM EST up reply actions

You've got a lot of

want-to, trying to get that interview.

by GrossSuperman on Dec 12, 2008 3:34 PM EST up reply actions

I hope you are serious

Because that would be pretty cool. Show him that there is love to be found in the cold, harsh internets.

by NOLACuse on Dec 12, 2008 3:54 PM EST up reply actions

Actually just snagged Rich Cimini for one

so that’s a start

by Sean Keeley on Dec 12, 2008 4:16 PM EST up reply actions

I think you can do that.

I really do. I think it’s something that you’ve been trying to do. And we’ll see how it goes from here. Maybe the interview will flash, maybe it won’t. But we’ll see if it does when it pops up on here.

Talk the talk? check.
Walk the walk? pending.

How could anyone hate bloggers?

I do have to admit that Coach Mac is right. I do think Orange fans need to give him the benefit of the doubt and be supportive including filling the Dome again and sticking around to the end of the game.
