‘”When I came in this morning Kyle came up to see me prior to our team meeting and informed me of it and I asked him, ‘Hey, is this something that you’re sure about?'” Marrone started. “A lot of times when you make decisions like this you need to spend some time thinking about it and I told him, I recommend that you take some time and think about it before you come to a decision but he said that he was ready and in this game you’ve got to respect the players’ decisions and as soon as I was informed I informed Russ Brandon, I told Russ to make sure that he told Doug [Whaley] at the time because I was texting or trying to call the owner and tell him what was going on.”‘
