Good post. Totally agree.
Russ Brandon was the man behind hiring Marrone.
Whaley buit a top 5 defense while "Offensive Guru" Marrone's offense was one of the worst in the league for 2 years.
The Pagula's fell in love with Rex, and hired him based on his bravado. No way Whaley hires him IMO.
Whaley turns the offense into top 12 scoring offense, while "Defensive Guru" Ryan destroys a top 5 defense.
It was time for Whaley to go. But there's no way the disfunction during his tenure falls exclusively on him. I wish him well.
