Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 27941, member: 173"] In reality both the university athletics program and the paper need each other. Sports sells papers, and it turn provides the coverage and exposure that the football team needs to (maybe) get attendance turned around. Being a reporter means that they're going to have to ask questions that the coaches don't always like, otherwise all the articles are going to be cotton-candy rah-rah bull sheet that I won't waste my time on. Marrone's been a head coach for a whopping 2 1/2 years, one area he needs to work on his his handling of the media. JB can act like a bastard and get away with it because he's got a top 5 program and is pulling 30K in for big games...Marrone's going to have to approach the media differently. Hopefully he goes to Coach Mac for advice and politely listens to JB but declines to implement JBs suggestions. [/QUOTE]
