I for one remember the general sentiment well. No one was excited about Gailey. Most wanted Cowher or Shanahan or some other big-name coach. But, we were all glad to be rid of Jauron.
I think the sentiment is pretty similar about Marrone. Maybe more excitment than Gailey because he is fresher, younger, without as much baggage. But I think few expect much better than 7-9 next year . . . which is where we've been more or less for 10 years.
But, I don't object to a thread that asks specifically for thoughts on the future, without a lot of snarky replies or shouting matches or name-calling. Just what you think, not what you think of other posters' thoughts.
I'm game.
