And soon to become, in marketing terms, "the Michael Jordan of college coaches," according to his agent, David Falk (who is, yes, Jordan's agent). Krzyzewski (pronounced sha-SHEF-ski) has been doing about 30 corporate speaking gigs a year for about $50,000 a pop. (He plans to cut back on the number of speeches while raising his fee to $100,000.) He is host of an annual conference at Duke's Fuqua School of Business. The university, in an unusual move, put its basketball coach's name on an academic center, the Fuqua/Coach K Center of Leadership & Ethics, and made Krzyzewski an "executive in residence" with the expectation that he will be able to become a professor whenever he stops coaching. In addition, Duke Corporate Education, which consults to businesses, has developed a program that uses Krzyzewski's methods as a teaching tool. PricewaterhouseCoopers has so far sent about 500 senior associates and managers — most of them "partners in the making," as they were described to me — to study Duke basketball in a "metaphoric context" to help them reach personal and professional goals. That irritating American Express commercial is blaring All of this is easy to ridicule because Krzyzewski is, again during the college basketball telecasts. The after all, a mere coach — and in some quarters, scrappy Polish guy from Chicago is standing in front of especially among rival fans in the bitterly competitive his bench, his feet firmly planted on the holy hardwood Atlantic Coast Conference, a reviled one.

  • Billy Graham the Most Revered Person in N.C
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 7, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Billy Graham the most revered person in N.C. Raleigh, N.C. – PPP recently made news for finding that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the most popular person the firm has ever polled on anywhere, and that only Abraham Lincoln and Jesus Christ are more popular with voters nationally than he is in Wisconsin. So PPP set out to find who the most popular figure in North Carolina is. Eight of the 14 people tested were sports figures, but none could top a preacher in this Bible-Belt state. Billy Graham comes home from the hospital to news that his home state likes none of its residents better than him. 69% have a favorable impression of the reverend, and only 14% an unfavorable one. That level of raw favor and net favorability tops the list. Next is legendary UNC basketball coach Dean Smith (59-9), former Sheriff of Mayberry Andy Griffith (64-15), Smith’s most accomplished Tar Heel pupil Michael Jordan (59- 14), NASCAR great “King” Richard Petty (56-11), current Heels coach Roy Williams (46-10), rival Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski (49-14), Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (38-9), 2011 American Idol Scottie McCreery (37-8), NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. (39-17), eight-term governor Jim Hunt (38-23), first UNC system president Bill Friday (23-8), former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Hugh Shelton (12-7), and wrestler Ric Flair (12-23).
