FizzCast: Doug Marrone One-on-One

Listen to the Fizz-clusive with Doug Marrone.

D.A. got to sit down with the Orange head coach at Big East media day. Year 1 vs. Year 2?

“We’re much further along. We’ve won a lot of battles and now we need to get some of those wins on the field.”

The speculation on him leaving for a different job in the offseason?

“It’s part of what happens. You wanna protect the other schools involved as well. Just as I said publicly, ‘if there’s speculation of me going anywhere obviously I’ve done a good job with my message.’”

Has there been a day over the first 18 months where you look around and think, ‘boy this is tougher than I thought?’

“Every day is tough. I’m looking forward to getting this thing turned around and looking at this time with gratification.”

Is there a specific goal you’ve laid out for your team?

“Our goal as a football team is to go to a bowl game. Which one it is, doesn’t matter. We just need to get to a bowl game”

Delone Carter’s future?

“Right now, he’s not an enrolled student. There’s a judicial process in place and that’s between the university and Delone Carter.”
