Pray for the headline writers.

From now on, just call him coach F.

Fran to...the Ivy League?! That's gonna be something.

This is a great thing.

They can't even go with AF because that's Colorado and might be confused with the Air Force Academy.

Coach AF wouldn't remind me of Air Force but would instantly go viral for all the wrong reasons.

Ali Farokhmanesh is an amazing hire for Colorado State

Rob Senderoff expected to leave Kent State for Fordham. He did a nice job at KSU, not sure why you leave, Fordham is a coach-killer.

Considering Kent State football often plays three body bag games a year, the whole department might be brokeity broke broke broke.

Fordham has been making noise that their NIL is among the top teams in the Atlantic 10, and they have kind of, sort of shown more of a pulse the past few years. From the outside looking in, maybe it's the best Senderoff could get? If he didn't get looks from power conference teams after bringing Kent State to NCAA tournaments, he probably needs to jump to another program and do it again.

John Becker at Vermont remains the big time "will that guy ever leave?" sort of lower level coach to me. Long, long resume of success at this point, .714 at Vermont, but an October 2020 scandal about whether he helped to cover up an alleged sexual assault by a player. They didn't fire him, and he had three more NCAA tournament years and 21-12 this year.

Apparently Mike Magpayo is leaving UC Riverside for Fordham, not the Kent State dude.

Apparently Mike Magpayo is leaving UC Riverside for Fordham, not the Kent State dude.

Last time Fordham brought someone in from outside the metro area, Jeff Neubauer (Eastern Kentucky) squeaked out a 17-14 debut season thanks to the softest non-conference schedule imaginable before he sputtered to the finish line with five straight increasingly bad losing seasons. There is not a D-I school--low-level ones barely hanging on included--that need to give up the ghost more than Fordham. forking go back to the MAAC or Patriot and STFU.

Be careful. Sidney Moncrief came back to Little Rock in 1999-2000 and was a smooth 4-24 his first and only year. New Mavs owner Mark Cuban gave him a lifeline and he ghosted at the first opportunity.

I know people who worked in The Rock with Moncrief. When the team played at Denver, he and his family hung around for a few days for a ski vacation. Rest of the team flew home without him.
