OK, so "if " Frank is a goner in the near future, that seems likely, who is best person to assume the role that most of us would quit our jobs for to assume:

1. Bob Byrnes
Flat out best guy for the job. Hoops, baseball, lacrosse
shoestring budget.
Downside: Age, Manhattan loyalty

2. Jack Hayes
Hofstra spent huge bucks to arrive at this decision,
maybe its time we used someone else's dime to get a
golden boy. Raised huge $$ and did bang up job with 1-A
football transition.
Downside: Unproven in top spot

3. Dave Clawson
Still worth a shot at talking to him. He gets it and
money talks. Understands Fordham culture better than
anyone and would succeed, a winner.
Downside: Needs convincing and big $$

4. Rich Marrin
A succesful lawyer who single handedly took football
by the horns and willed it to succeed. Guy gets things
done, under tough circumstances.
Downside: Would he want the job?

5. Rick Laskowski
Took Stony Brook from a nobody to solid D-I in several
sports, new football stadium and new gym, guy is a doer.
Downside: Age, out of game 2 years now.

6. Walt Hameline
My favorite choice. Good solid results, handled
Whittenberg hiring with class and like a pro. This
guy would be terrific, complete package as to
academics and succesful athletics.
Downside: Big fish in small pond, can he handle
the big stage?

Pluses to all of them. I think the way to go is to hire a headhunter who specializes in education/athletics and let him go to work. My ideal candidate would be a young guy (that is a relative term, I guess) from a big time program who understands the business and opportunities of big-time college sports. The days of the coach/AD are long over. Understanding the Fordham culture is fine, but the culture, in part, is what is holding us down. (NT)An Old Coach12:32:23 11/17/04 Wed

Exactly, Fordham culture is unique and makes Fordham what it is. However, I would like to break away from Fordham's culture as far as athletics are concerned. I like the idea of a young guy from a big time program, knows how things work at the level we want to be at. If he's not afraid to come to Fordham, then he wont be afraid to implement the things Fordham need to implement to become bigtime. (NT)gorams13:00:18 11/17/04 Wed

I won't even comment on this post...at the moment (NT)Minion14:54:09 11/17/04 Wed

Not a fan of Walt Hameline from Wagner ..I am a SI guy and met him a few years back.. all he did was trash FU about Wagners 88 DIII ftbl team... I spoke about the strides FU was making in ftbl and he laughed....I wish FU scheduled Wagner then buried them by 50pts..Ego problem.. and not much charisma... Fordham would be foolish to hire him..

Why does it seem "likely" that Frank will leave? Are you hearing something specific and concrete to that effect? (NT)DamnRam16:49:02 11/17/04 Wed

Rich Marrin-that would be a disaster- and Rich, how bout a modicum of modesty and remove yourself from this list. (NT)Minion12:51:14 11/19/04 Fri

Hey Minion what time is the comic book convention on Saturday? Did you get you mom to sign the permission slip? (NT)explayer13:27:38 11/19/04 Fri

Fordham must conduct an extensive, professional national search to find the best candidate for the AD position. There are many talented, highly qualified individuals at excellent schools across the country that would jump at the opportunity to be the AD at Fordham, as long as the administration changes the reporting structure and title for the job. The position should be a Vice President reporting directly to the President. We should look at top Associate AD's at schools like Duke, Stanford, Wake Forest, Boston College, Notre Dame, etc. (NT)Rambacker07:46:40 11/20/04 Sat
