Despite former Syracuse Orange head coach Doug Marrone saying that Syracuse was his ‘dream job’ it was inevitable he was always going to leave.
Once he tasted the NFL as a former player in the late 1980’s and later on as a NFL coach, it was something he always planned to return to. Whenever the time was right. Was the time right in 2013?
Probably not from the Syracuse football perspective. If you forgot, the Orange were coming off their second Pinstripe Bowl victory in three years and a 8-5 record.
Which apparently was the perfect time for Marrone to jettison back to the pros.
