If you ever attended a luncheon you would know that they are anything but idol worshipping.  Marrone answers every question (unless it deals with naming recruits).  He provides some great insight into the way he runs the program/practices each week, the things he plans on doing/changing for the upcoming game, why certain plays were called, and he explains in detail why plays did not work.  It's easy to sit in the stands or at home and complain about Nassib throwing an incomplete pass but when you go to the luncheon you find out why that play did not result in a big gain or a TD (i.e. WR ran the wrong route, QB missed his #1 read, offensive lineman failed to fill the A gap, the play was changed at the line of scrimmage, etc.)  Then when you watch a replay of the game after the luncheon you see exactly what Coach Marrone is talking about.  I don't idolize any coach or athlete.  I attend the luncheons for one reason to get some insight into the SU football program.

One of my friends attend his first luncheon a couple of weeks ago and could not believe how much differant they were than Coach P's luncheons.  He was shocked by how honest Marrone was and by the fact he answered every question asked for over an hour.  Coach P would come in, eat lunch, give a 15 minute speech, show some highlight videos, have a player talk, and leave.

Based upon the things I heard at the last luncheon I think we will see a huge upgrade on the offensive side of the ball next season both in terms of talent (i.e. speed and playmakers) and the offensive gameplan.
