He also coached at Ball State University from 1987 to 1989, and Marquette from 1983 to 1986.
Majerus attended Marquette University, where he played as a walk-on in the 1967 season, but was cut from the team before his sophomore year. He graduated in 1970 with a degree in History, and would work as an assistant coach with the Golden Eagles for the next 12 years, under mentor Al McGuire until 1977, and under Hank Raymonds until taking over as head coach himself in 1983. After three years as head coach at Marquette, and a 56-35 record, he became an assistant coach with the Milwaukee Bucks for the 1986-87 season.
In 2004, Majerus was hired as coach of the University of Southern California basketball team. However, just days after being hired, he reneged on the offer, and hasn't been in coaching since. He is currently a commentator for ESPN.
Majerus is something of fan favorite and cult figure around college basketball, known for his extremely overweight body and his quirky, jovial personality. He has had several heart attacks, and suffers from diabetes, but is still high on the wish list of many college programs in need of a coach.
In 2000, he released an autobiography My Life On a Napkin : Pillow Mints, Playground Dreams and Coaching the Runnin' Utes (ISBN 0786884452), co-written by Gene Wojciechowski.
