One Move Too Many?

PrintDoug Marrone has made some bold moves in his short time as head coach of the Syracuse football team. He moved halfback Doug Hogue to linebacker and former starting quarterback Andrew Robinson to tight end. He even announced that untested redshirt freshman Ryan Nassib would be the starting qaurterback over incumbent senior Cam Dantley.
With that final decision it seemed as though Marrone had all of the pieces in place as he wanted them.
It seemed...
Apparently Marrone wasn't as pleased with Nassib as we thought. Last night, Marrone announced that sophomore halfback Antwon Bailey has been moved to quarterback and is considered the new #1 quarterback on the depth chart. As much as Nassib's ascension was a shock, this one is, well, off the charts.
"I looked at each individual on their own merits and make my decisions based on what is in the best interest of Syracuse football. Ryan is a talented young quarterback but at this point in time I feel like Antwon is in a position to compete at quarterback as well."
I guess, Dougie. I'm all for shaking things up. But this...this is...crazy. Right? Have we seen anything from Bailey that says he can quarterback a football team? Was he even a quarterback in high school? Color me concerned.
The full article is here, more to come as the day progresses.

See that's not cool
You can’t joke about that. You can’t tease people with pics of Juli and not deliver – it’s just not right to torture SU fans like that.

See and I thought you'd gone to the trouble of faking an article about the move.
With Google around you gotta go all out Sean. After all, CADIE is watching.
See now had I gone big...
and done something like Jim Boeheim kicks Jonny Flynn off the team or Doug Marrone was eaten by a pack of wolves, I feel like it would have been too obvious. You have to go stealthy…make it almost believable…that’s when I have you…
I thought it was a joke, then I started to believe it a little and panic set in. Then I decided to come in here
and ask if it was real. Thank the lord and savior santa jesus it’s not true. I was freaked out for a second
u got me..
for about 10 seconds, i was celabrating. but i amtrying to remember, dee anderson, right? the good old days, one year we were not padding the score, but we beat rutgers n the dome 45-6?something like that, and wewent all the way thru the other opton qbs,and mcpherson was sitting on bench after 1+1/2 quarters.. and dee anderson actaully was recruited to p lay opton qb. and did a good job out there. and in past couple of years, even rutgers has a secret"weapon, they in fact have a opton qb that comes in on short yardage plays.. in this day and age of spread run and spread pass .. truth can be stranger then fiction. lets be honest, if someone would have told u , that say kansas or missouri.. using a opton" offense could compete.. with the big boys, u would have laughed.. and even the nfl is using the w ildcat" stuff from arkansas now.. halfback pass stuff..
Damn you, Sean....
You genius, you….
