1974 Profile: Bob Keating

Executive Vice-President and General Manager
"Bob Keating knows what it takes to build a championship pro football team. Last year, as Vice-President and General Manager of the New England Colonials, Bob put together a club that rampaged to the championship of the Atlantic Coast Football League with a 13-1 record. Many of the players Bob signed for the Colonials have gone on to sign major league contracts with WFL teams.
But Bob's football background goes even deeper than minor league ball. In 1970 he founded and was Commissioner of the Eastern College Club Football Conference, an organization which brought the game back to many football-starved campuses.
Keating, a graduate of Boston University, spent three years in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving in the Mediterranean. After leaving the service he became an executive in the trucking business and was subsequently appointed Public Relations Director of the Schaefer Brewing Company of New York. In that capacity, Keating was instrumental in the development and coordination of Schaefer Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., one of the country's most modern and most profitable stadia. In 1971 Bob was named Director of Schaefer Stadium."
