Has it occurred to you that Frank may be exactly what Fordham trustees and administrators want? He's a good-natured guy who gets along well with a number of the old grads (albeit not too many on this board) and who never presses the higher-ups for much in the way of budgets and facilities. Frank's job is an exercise in minimalism--maintaining just enough of an athletic program so that alums don't get totally ticked off, walk away in anger, and forever end their financial contributions to the university. Check out the lengthy thread below under "Fordham Scoreboard Week 33." -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: BS'65 's message, "The reason Jim Lewis still has a job is the same reason that Fordham has been so bad in so many sports for so long: namely Frank McLaughlin. The Rip Van Winkle of Rose Hill, Frank has been asleep now for four decades. The real question then is why does Frank still have a job? Did The Board of Trustees, Fr. O'Hare, and now Fr. McShane all catch Frank's "sleeping sickness?"" on Sat April 16, 2005 15:40:37
