Former TU Wide Receiver recently signed on with the University of Pittsburgh as the Panthers Receivers Coach. Marion appears to be a rising star. He has quickly moved through a number of chairs at schools such as Wayneboro High School in Pennsylvania, Offensive Coordinator at Howard University, William and Mary and recently Hawaii with Todd Graham. At Howard he employed the Go Go offense. Division II Howard beat UNLV with Marion's innovative offense.
I remember him as a sure fire NFL draft pick until he injured his knee on his last play for TU against East Carolina in the Conference USA Championship game.
I understand him going to Pitt, he was from Greensburg, PA, about 20 miles east of Pittsburgh. When TU played at Marshall in Marion's senior I attended the game in Huntington, WV after spending Thanksgiving with my dad in Pittsburgh. I parked my truck with an Oklahoma plate and a Steelers license plate in front. I parked next to Marrion's mother, several brothers and cousins. They asked me about the Steeler license plate. I told them about my Pittsburgh, Pitt, TU background. I ended up sitting with them It was a cold game but TU prevailed.
I think somebody will write a book or make a movie about Brennan someday. He lived in the Junior College locker room like Rudy, The first Junior college used him as a tight end, blocking back. His first knee injury kept him from getting drafted. His second and third kept him from playing for the Miami Dolphins.
I like perseverance. I hope he finds his way back to TU someday.
