Doug Marrone Leaves Syracuse, Players And Recruits Unhappy On Twitter
Fans have no idea what goes on day in and day out in locker rooms and on the practice field with coach Doug Marrone, who has left Syracuse for a job with the Buffalo Bills.
It’s the players who are closer than any of us with Marrone. They’re all part of a family. But based on Twitter reactions, it seems as though the players were given no heads up, and found out about Marrone leaving on social media or ESPN, just like the fans did.
Reactions from both current and former Marrone players:
Wake up to take a pee and see that my coach is now the head coach of the Buffalo Bills. Wow. I’m in shock.

I think we all should appreciate what coach Marrone did for Syracuse. He left the program in much better shape than where he found it.

“Coaching at Syracuse has always been my dream job”- Doug Marrone. I think he meant becoming NFL headcoach has always been my dream job. SMH

So how will the move affect the future Orange stars? Not well. Two commits, Augustus Edwards and Malik Brown will take visits to other schools. No word on many of the other commits.
This is all a shock to me but ,I will be taking 3 more official visits before making my college decision. Florida state, Miami,Rutgers.
