I've been a little swamped at work this week so I apologize for depriving you of my mellifluous prose. Something tells me you'll survive. In the meantime, forget about me, you can hire Doug Marrone for your next event. According the Athlete Promotions web site, the SU Coach is available for:
"Corporate event appearances, personal appearances, casino appearances, tradeshow appearances, corporate golf tournaments, sports camps, autograph signings, endorsement deals, television commercials, radio commercials, store grand openings, new product launch campaigns, spokesperson campaigns and speaking appearances."
Of course, how much it costs to book the coach mystery, you'll have to 888-246-7141 for booking fees. If any one does call, drop us a line and let us know how much cash it costs to get the coach to come to your house. Who knows, if it's reasonable he could be the featured speaker at The Three Idiots Expo that we aren't planning.
Whatever the cost, I'm sure it will be a tremendous bargain. Let's be honest, Coach Marrone could fire up someone in a coma. The man does not lack passion. However, what he does lack is a bio that contains certainty. On the aforementioned web site, Doug's bio says:
Reportedly, alumni such as Tim Green and Floyd Little wanted Marrone from the moment Robinson was fired, and when interviewed by Green, it was learned that Marrone had kept a folder of current high school players in the Syracuse area to get a head start in recruiting.
"Reportedly?" Call me crazy, but if Doug is a client, shouldn't his bio be free of rumors and conjecture? Would it be so hard to just confirm the info? Might be time to bump up that booking fee and hire someone to write a bio.......

Considering the sarcasm, I assume you don't think he should be doing this. I'm not sure what the University's policy is regarding this, and I don't know how many coaches do it, but I would assume he's not the only one. I'm not really too bothered about it. It bothers me a lot more when politicians do it, because their integrity is compromised. I don't see how this affects his coaching. Perhaps it would have been more fair to him to put this into perspective, i.e., how much money do other college coaches make from personal appearances?
I don't have a problem with him doing this - i have a problem with the half assed bio they have of him
