Frank Maloney (football coach)
- Frank Maloney (football coach)
Frank Maloney was the head football coach at Syracuse University from 1974-1980. He succeeded legendary Hall of Fame Coach Floyd "Ben" Schwartzwalder at SU. His tenure was marked by inconsistent seasons, and a fan base that turned on him as the Orangemen failed to achieve the national status they had previously enjoyed under Schwartzwalder. The Orange fans failed to remember that Ben's last few seasons were marked by losing seasons, as well as racial unrest on the 1970 team.
Maloney was also handicapped by archaic facilities, as Archbold Stadium was in need of replacement. Nonetheless, Maloney did recruit a number of players who went on to be NFL stars such as Joe Morris and Hall of Fame member Art Monk.
In what was a precursor to the Paul Pasqualoni must go craze that would follow, Maloney was constantly the subject of criticism, not only from the fans and alumni, but also from the 1959 National Championship Team, who started a campaign calling for his ouster. Ironically enough, this came during a season where the Orangemen qualified for the Independence Bowl, which they won over McNeese State.
After coaching the Orange for nearly a decade, and being the coach during the opening of the 50,000 seat Carrier Dome, Maloney was fired by SU and replaced by Dick MacPherson.
He is currently the Director of Ticket Sales for the Chicago Cubs.
