So it appears that Doug Marrone is unhappy with "fan support," specifically as it relates to moving forward with a $20-25 million dollar practice facility dedicated to the football program? Of which 75% ($15-18.8 million) was already in hand at some point in the past?) This prompts a couple of questions:
 
Is it Chris Gedney who is falling down on the job? Chris' job description reads, in part: "Senior associate athletics director Chris Gedney is responsible for solicitation of major gifts for athletics, coordinating and managing the donor prospect pool, and for the day-to-day operations of the Orange Club."
 
Or is it TGD who is falling down of the job for not either lighting a fire under Chris and his people or finding a real "rainmaker?" I'm not looking for someone to blame so much as I'm trying to figure out how things work up on the Hill.
 
Along those lines are there specific Trustees or Life Trustees who partner with the AD to work on development issues? I mean formally, not something that might be self-initiated by an interested individual such as CTO.
 
Finally, why are alumni who are not in the position to be major donors (such as myself) never asked to support specific fundraising initiatives such as a football practice facility?
