Albany has produced a winning conference record in every one of its 10 seasons as a Northeast Conference member.
The streak consecutive winning seasons has
gone unmatched by anyone in conference
history with Robert Morris’ run of six straight
(1996-2001) standing closest. The Great
Danes joined the league for the start of the
1999 campaign, which resulted in a 6-1 NEC
record and second-place finish. Since gaining membership, Albany has compiled a 5416 league mark while capturing four NEC
crowns (2002, 2003, 2007, 2008).

Walter Payton Award Candidate
McCarty enters his senior season
riding a pair of impressive streaks.
The bruising back has scored a touchdown in 20 straight contests and has
eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark
in each of his prior eight outings. The
hard-running McCarty surpassed the
century mark in 11 of 12 games last
year in upping his career total to an
Albany-record 19 100-yard games.
Only nationally-ranked Delaware prevented him from reaching the singlegame triple-digit total in 2008.

Three is the magic number in the Capital
Region this season.
No program in Northeast Conference history has secured three consecutive outright
league crowns, let alone three straight undefeated seasons.
Not having lost a conference game since
the 2006 season finale, Albany has the opportunity to accomplish both feats in 2009 and
reigning NEC Coach of the Year Bob Ford welcomes back six preseason all-NEC performers
to help in the effort.
While the Great Danes eye consecutive title
No. 3, all eyes will be on the man who wears
jersey #3.
Walter Payton Award candidate David
McCarty, the league's all-time single-season
rushing leader (1,852), returns for his senior
season at tailback. After moving from flanker
into the backfield prior to the 2007 campaign,
McCarty has rushed for a program-record 3,355
yards and 26 touchdowns in 24 games as the
starter. The All-American tailback was at his
best in the Gridiron Classic. Running for a ca-
UAlbany
reer-high 271 and four touchdowns, McCarty
powered the Danes to a 28-0 shutout of Pioneer League champ Jacksonville.
The Great Danes enjoy continuity at the other
offense skill positions as well. All-NEC receiver
Tim Bush, who gained a fifth year of eligibility
due to medical hardship, owns Albany's singleseason receptions record (67). Senior quarterback Vinny Esposito has a 17-7 career record
as a starter and has thrown for 25 touchdowns
to only 16 interceptions during that span.
Despite opening the 2008 season with three
of four games against top-10 teams in FCS, Albany managed to lead the NEC in both scoring
defense (18.2 ppg) and rushing defense (119.1
ypg). The Great Danes' three preseason allNEC selections from that side of the ball had
much to do with that. Sophomore defensive
end Eddie Delaney made 37 tackles and broke
up six passes. Senior captain Justin Brancaccio
led the linebacking corps with 91 tackles. Meanwhile, senior Dave Casale was all over field in
making 74 tackles and seven interceptions.

Bob Ford Biography
The architect of the University at
Albany's football program, Bob Ford
has established a solid reputation with
his positive attitude and a coaching
philosophy that instills loyalty among
each member of his team and staff.
Ford, who has been UAlbany's only
head coach since the program was
reinstated after a 46-year absence,
was appointed on April 27, 1970. Since
then, he has compiled a 36-year varsity record of 225-143 as the Great
Dane mentor, while his 234 career
victories rank first among active NCAA
Football Championship Subdivision
(formerly Division I-AA) head coaches.
Head Coach
In 2008, Ford guided UAlbany to the Northeast Conference championship and an undefeated league record for the second consecutive year.
Those Great Danes became the first NEC champion to win the Gridiron
Classic in a 28-0 victory over Jacksonville. Leading Albany to a programbest 9-3 overall record at the FCS level, Ford received his second straight
NEC Coach of the Year award and was a finalist for The Sports Network's
Eddie Robinson Award.
In 2003, UAlbany shared its second consecutive Northeast Conference
championship by finishing in a tie for first place in the conference
standings with a 7-4 overall mark. The Great Danes were fourth among
the Division I-AA leaders in rushing, while tailback Gary Jones was
named to the Associated Press All-America Team for the second time in
his career. A year earlier, the Great Danes put together their first
championship season at the Division I level by winning the 2002 NEC
title before capping the year with a 24-0 upset of previously unbeaten
Duquesne in the ECAC Division I-AA Football Classic. Ford, who guided
his team to an 8-4 record, was named the NEC Coach of the Year.
Ford, who served as president of the American Football Coaches Association to begin this decade, led UAlbany to a 7-2 record in its inaugural
campaign as a I-AA (now FCS) program in 1999. The Great Danes
garnered seven wins in 2001, and finished among the conference's top
teams for the third straight year.
At one time, Ford was the youngest head football coach in the nation,
when the 26-year-old took over the reins at St. Lawrence University in
1965. He arrived in Albany five years later to start the first gridiron squad
at the University since 1924. After three seasons at the club level, the
program was upgraded to varsity status in 1973, and finished with a 72 record. One year later, the Great Danes completed the school's only
undefeated season with a 9-0 mark.
Beginning in 1977, Ford was UAlbany's director of athletics for five years.
During that time, he managed a program which sponsored 25 varsity
sports for men and women.
UAlbany's football program is also known for the high standards required of its coaching staff. Ford's "coaching factory" has allowed many
of his assistants to earn their master's degrees while working at the
collegiate level. According to a recent review, more than 100 coaches,
who have started their careers under Ford's tutelage, are currently
employed with 60 different high schools, colleges, and professional
teams from around the nation and the world.

Bryant accepted an invitation for Northeast Conference membership in October,
2007 and began the NCAA-mandated
four-year reclassification process in September, 2008. After playing nine Division I
FCS opponents in their first season of transition, the Bulldogs gain full NEC member
status for the 2009 season. Despite being
eligible for the NEC title and the conference’s
postseason awards program, Bryant cannot
participate in the NCAA FCS playoffs until
2012 when the reclassification period is complete.

Jerell Smith
Smith began his collegiate
career at Howard, and now
enters his third, and final,
season at Bryant. The
Brooklyn, NY native ran for
1,254 yards and six TDs
during the Bulldogs’ first
season of Division I FCS
competition. The 5-foot-9
Smith exceeded the 100yard rushing mark in seven
of 11 outings last year.

Bryant enters its first season as a Northeast Conference member ready to contend for a title.
Competing as an independent in 2008 when
they began the NCAA reclassifying process, the Bulldogs defeated four of the six NEC members they
faced. Their first campaign against primarily Division I opponents started in defeat at Central Connecticut State, but did not end until after they had
beaten Wagner, Robert Morris, Duquesne, and Saint
Francis (PA).
Head coach Marty Fine welcomes back 17 of
22 starters, 10 of whom played for one of the stingiest run defenses in Division I FCS. Opponents
averaged only 99.4 rushing yards per game against
Bryant. The Bulldogs allowed a total 48 first downs
on rushes all season, 17 of which came in the
opening setback at CCSU.
The stout run defense was critical to the unit's
in-season turnaround. After surrendering 78 points
over the season's first two games, the Bulldogs defense clamped down and allowed 10 points or
fewer in five of their final nine contests.
Veterans Pat Polomski and Don Smith are two
Bryant
of the more accomplished members of the Bulldogs' front seven. Polomski, a linebacker, made a
team-high 67 tackles in his third season as a starter
while Smith harassed opposing quarterbacks from
his defensive end position. The 6-foot-4 senior
pass rusher tallied 8.5 sacks, broke up seven passes,
and was credited with nine quarterback hurries.
Nearly as well as they could stop it, Bryant proved
it could run. Senior tailback Jerell Smith highlights a list of seven returning starters on offense
and takes aim at a second consecutive 1,000-yard
season, but is only one of the weapons in Bryant's
ground attack. While Smith averaged 6.2 yards per
carry and 114.0 yards per contest as a junior,
Lindsey Gamble added 79.2 yards per game and
scored a team-high seven touchdowns.
The rushing tandem will run behind an offensive line led by seniors Pete Krafka and John
Tashjian. Under the direction of Fine, who formerly served as an offensive line coach at both
Iowa State and Indiana, the Bulldogs aim to be
effective in the trenches once again.

Marty Fine Biography
Under the direction of head coach
Marty Fine, who completed his fifth
season in 2008, the Bryant football
team has made tremendous leaps in
only a short time.
After guiding the Bulldogs to back-toback conference championships and
NCAA playoff appearances in 2006
and 2007, Fine led the Bulldogs into
their first season of Divison I play in
the fall of 2008 and posted an impressive 7-4 record overall. The Bulldogs earned wins over Division I foes
Robert Morris, Duquesne, Wagner, Iona
and Saint Francis (PA).
The 2007 season saw the Bulldogs
open the year with a school record
seven consecutive wins. Picked to finish fourth in the preseason coaches'
poll, the Bulldogs went 8-1 in the
Northeast-10 Conference to capture
the outright league title. Among the
victories was a 24-17 win at C.W. Post
and a 29-3 win over Bentley before more than 5,000 fans at Bulldog
Stadium.
During the historical 2006 season that saw the Bulldogs go 8-3 overall,
the Bulldogs possessed one of the nation's most feared offenses. Led by
the standout running of All-American Lorenzo Perry, Bryant ranked 10th
in the country in total offense and 10th in rushing offense.
It took Fine only two years at Bryant to turn the Bulldogs into a contender. After a 4-5 record in 2004, the Bulldogs posted a school-record
7-3 record in 2005 and saw more than 30 individual and team records
set during the team's historic season.
In 2004, Fine's first as coach of the young Bulldogs, Bryant made vast
improvements in almost every statistical category, including setting numerous school records. Bryant improved in the win column from the
previous year and had five players named All-Conference, the most ever
for Bryant in the sport of football.
An assistant coach at Iowa State for two seasons, Fine has more than
twenty years of coaching experience under his belt and has coached at
every level of organized football, including two successful head coaching
positions at Sonoma State and U.S. Naval Academy Prep School. During
his coaching career, Fine has served as coordinator for all three phases
of coaching: offense, defense and special teams.
A native of Tarrytown, New York, Fine was the offensive line and special
teams coordinator at Iowa State in 2002 and 2003, coaching two all-Big
XII Conference performers at the Ames, Iowa school - including Zach
Butler who signed an NFL contract with the Carolina Panthers after
graduation in 2002.
During the 2002 season, the Cyclones' offensive line allowed the fewest
number of sacks in the Big XII Conference and finished the year ranked
in the Top-15 nationally with just 1.4 sacks allowed per game (19 total
in 14 games in ‘02). Iowa State was ranked ninth nationally by the
Associated Press, the highest ranking in school history with wins over
Nebraska, Texas Tech, and Iowa and earned a trip to the Humanitarian
Bowl in Boise, Idaho.
Prior to arriving at Iowa State, Fine spent five years as an assistant at
Indiana University, coaching the offensive tackles and tight ends, as well
as serving as the Hoosiers' special team's coordinator. Indiana was
ranked fourth nationally in rushing in 2001 and led the Big Ten Conference with an average of 269.5 yards per game rushing. That same fall,
the Hoosiers averaged 435.3 total yards per contest.
Fine was promoted to tight ends/special teams coach at Indiana in
January 2001, after serving as the program's tight ends coach and
passing game coordinator in 2000. From 1997-99, Fine coached both
tight ends and tackles and oversaw the Hoosiers' ground attack in 199899.
In his three seasons as Indiana's tackles and tight ends coach, he helped
develop four offensive linemen who earned NFL roster spots, including
Pita Elisara (Philadelphia Eagles), who garnered all-Big Ten accolades in
both 1998 and 1999. A total of 12 Indiana football players earned allconference honors in 2002, including the entire offensive line and its
tight end, all of which earned first, second, or honorable mention All-Big
Ten honors.
A former linebacker at Union College in New York, Fine went to Indiana
from Colgate where he spent the 1996 season as the Red Raiders'
offensive line coach. A 1985 graduate of Western New Mexico University, Fine spent six years as the offensive coordinator (1993-95) and
offensive line coach (1990-92) at Indiana State. The Sycamores' offense
led the Gateway Conference in rushing from 1992 to 1995 and was
ranked in the top-15 nationally during that same time.

Central Connecticut State owns a 12-8 NEC
record in three seasons under Jeff
McInerney, but have lost only to three
teams during the span. The Blue Devils
are 1-8 against Albany, Monmouth, and
Robert Morris, but 11-0 against the rest of
the conference. CCSU bested Joe Walton’s
RMU Colonials, 16-10, in 2007, but have yet
to beat perennial contenders Albany and
Monmouth since McInerney took the reigns.
The good news is both the Great Danes and
Hawks must travel to Arute Field this season. Circle Oct. 31 and Nov. 14 on the calendar.

James Mallory
Mallory is the latest in a line of
Blue Devil running backs to lead
what has been the conference’s
top-ranked rushing attack four
years running. The 5-foot-10 ball
carrier was CCSU’s second
1,500-yard rusher in the past
three seasons. Only Justise
Hairston’s 1,847 yards in 2006
best Mallory’s 2008 total of 1,520
yards in the CCSU record book.

The rushes and wins have piled up since
Jeff McInerney's arrival in New Britain. Central Connecticut State's ground attack has ranked
amongst the nation's top 10 in each of the head
coach's three seasons at the helm, a span during which the Blue Devils own a 21-12 record.
Keeping CCSU from lighting up the
scoreboard has been a rather difficult task for
opposing defenses in recent years. Behind a
rushing attack that has ranked atop the NEC
throughout McInerney's tenure, the Blue Devils
have averaged no fewer than 28.3 points per
game in any of the past three years. The 2008
ground game yielded 239.2 yards per contest
in helping the team score a league-high 330
points in 11 games (30.0/g).
One of the NEC's three 1,500-yard rushers
last season, running back James Mallory will
be the focal point of an attack that features a
CCSU
pair of mobile quarterbacks as well. Seniors
Aubrey Norris and Hunter Wanket, both dangerously athletic, shared the snaps last season
while combining to rush 147 times for 781 yards.
After earning 2007 all-NEC honors at tight
end, Greg Grochowski made a successful transition to tackle where he played eight games in
2008 and will likely start again as a senior.
Senior Anthony Pineiro earned all-league honors as a sophomore guard and will attempt to
repeat the feat as a senior center. The defensive front will miss former all-NEC end Ernie
Greywacz, but the conference's sacks leader
returns in the form of Ray Saunders. The
vaunted pass rusher earned first team all-NEC
accolades along with junior cornerback
Alondre Rush. Seven of Saunders' 13.0 tackles for a loss were sacks. Rush made 70 stops
from the secondary and defended five passes.

Jeff McInerney Biography
Jeff McInerney enters his fourth
season as head coach at Central
Connecticut State University
after beginning his CCSU tenure
with a trio of winning
campaigns. The Blue Devils
posted better-than-.500 overall
and conference records in each
of his first three seasons at the
helm.
McInerney, who was hired on
January 13, 2006, needed only
one season to make his mark in
program history.
After
inheriting a team that had just
won back-to-back NEC titles,
McInerney kept the ball rolling.
He coached CCSU to an 8-3
record in 2006 to mark the first
time in more than 35 years that the Blue Devils had strung
together three consecutive winning seasons. Winning marks in
2007 and 2008 have extended the streak to five.
McInerney's Blue Devils received unprecedented recognition
during the head coach’s first season in New Britain. The second
game of his CCSU tenure was on the road against six-time
national champion Georgia Southern. A 17-13 victory by the
Blue Devils spoiled GSU’s home opener and made national
news. One week later, CCSU entered the Sports Network National
Top-25 Poll for the first time in school history.
“This program has come a long way in the last three years and
we will continue to strive to reach the next level. Our league as
a whole has proven in the last couple of years that we can play
with, and more importantly we can beat, some of the top teams
in the country.”
The Blue Devils were nationally ranked for the first time during
the season and reached as high as #19 in the poll. While CCSU
did not win its third straight Northeast Conference
Championship, it did finish the 2006 home season undefeated
(4-0) for the second time in three years. The 8-3 record marked
the second time in the last three seasons that CCSU posted
eight wins, the second-highest single season total in program
history.
Upon his hiring, McInerney became the 12th head coach in the
67 years of Central Connecticut football.
"Coming to CCSU as a head coach for the first time was the
most exciting moment in my career," McInerney said. "We can
achieve great things here as we continue to build on the
foundation set at the start of the 2004 season. These players
now believe that they can win and they use that belief to be
successful each and every week on the football field."

Entering its second season in the Northeast Conference, Duquesne owns a 4021 all-time record against current NEC
members. The Dukes, who were 38-15
against NEC opponents prior to the start of
2008, were 2-5 in their inaugural season of
league play and fell at Bryant, who will be
recognized as a NEC opponent in 2009. Two
of Duquesne’s 40 wins against Northeast
Conference members came in the
postseason ECAC Bowl. Representing the
Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, the
Dukes defeated Wagner, 44-20, in the 1995

Nathan Totino
Totino was one of five NEC
linebackers to amass more
than 100 tackles in 2008.
The junior’s 110 stops
ranked fourth in the conference, but his 12.2 tackles
per game average was
second best in the league
and fifth amongst all NCAA
Division I FCS leaders.

One season after bringing its tradition-rich
program into the Northeast Conference,
Duquesne looks to establish itself as a contender.
The Dukes won their inaugural league
game, a 21-7 decision over western Pennsylvanian rival Saint Francis, but triumphed only
once more during the remainder of the sevengame NEC slate.
"We found as we played week in and week
out the competition of bigger and stronger and
faster athletes than we had seen before on a
consistent basis, and I think that was the biggest adjustment for our players," surmised head
coach Jerry Schmitt.
Duquesne, which captured an unprecedented 11 league titles as a Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference member, has an early opportunity to make a statement when it opens
the 2009 NEC schedule, and television package, at five-time league champion Monmouth
Junior quarterback Connor Dixon led the
NEC in passing yards per game (211.0) during
his first season after transferring from Michigan State. Dixon, who threw a single-game
program-record six TD passes in last year's
opener at Bucknell, became more familiar with
senior tight end Sean Bunevich as the season
progressed. The Dukes' top returning receiver
averaged 64.9 yards per game, which was tops
amongst all NEC tight ends including current
Miami Dolphin John Nalbone (Monmouth).
Junior linebacker Nathan Totino, the team's
leader on the defense, was ready for NEC competition right from the start. The hard-hitting
Totino was a first team all-NEC pick after making 110 tackles in nine games. On the whole,
however, the Dukes' defense wasn't as effective in their inaugural NEC campaign, surrendering 26.3 points per contest.

Jerry Schmitt Biography
Jerry Schmitt, who played an
important role in the
development
of
the
Duquesne football program
as an assistant from 198587 and again from 1992-99,
is in his fifth season as head
coach of the Dukes.
Head Coach
2005-
2000-04
In Schmitt's first season, the Dukes posted a 7-3 record (4-0 in
the MAAC) against the most challenging I-AA mid-major schedule
a Duquesne team ever faced and finished with a No. 3 national
ranking in The Sports Network I-AA Mid-Major Top 10. The 2005
Dukes finished ranked No. 1 nationally in I-AA total defense,
rushing defense and pass efficiency defense.
In his second season, Schmitt again led DU to a 7-3 record (3-1
in the MAAC) and eighth consecutive MAAC championship as
the Dukes finished ranked sixth in The Sports Network I-AA MidMajor Top 10. The 2006 Dukes ranked second nationally in
passing offense and 15th in total offense.
Last year, Duquesne won a share of its ninth consecutive MAAC
title in posting a 6-4 overall record.
Winning titles at Duquesne is nothing new to Schmitt, who
helped the Dukes to their first three MAAC championships in
1995, 1996 & 1999 and the school's first Eastern College Athletic
Conference (ECAC) Bowl game in 1996, during his 11 years as
an assistant.
The 47-year-old Pittsburgh native, who served under three different
head coaches in Terry Russell (1985-87), Dan McCann (1992)
and Greg Gattuso (1993-99), was the offensive coordinator for
his last seven seasons at DU, during which time the Dukes posted
a 53-21 record, won three titles and saw 16 different offensive
players named First Team All-MAAC. He was promoted to assistant
head coach by Gattuso prior to the 1994 season. Schmitt accepted
the head coaching position at Westminster in March of 2000.
While at Westminster, Schmitt posted a 28-21 record in overseeing
the Titans' transition from NCAA Division II to the Division III
level. He led Westminster to an 8-2 mark including a perfect 5-0
record against teams from the Presidents' Athletic Conference
(PAC) in 2000. After a rebuilding campaign in 2001, Westminster
continued to make strides under Schmitt's leadership in 2002,
as the Titans finished 6-4 overall (4-1 in league play) and placed
second in their first season of eligibility for the PAC title. In 2003,
Westminster overcame a challenging non-conference schedule
against scholarship teams to contend for the conference title in
the final week of the season. In 2004, the Titans rallied from an
0-2 start to post wins in five of their last eight games.
Schmitt's offenses set five single-game records and produced
four of the seven 1,000-yard rushers in school history. Forty-four

Monmouth has remained in the upper
echelon of the Northeast Conference
standings since 2003. The Hawks have
not finished lower than tied for third place in
any of the last six seasons. Monmouth
clinched at least a share of the NEC title
during three of those six campaigns with its
most recent crown coming outright in 2006.
The Hawks have tallied five league titles
since the conference began playing football
in 1996. Only Robert Morris has won as
many.

Dave Sinisi
Walter Payton Award Candidate
Sinisi has been a point-scoring machine
during his three seasons as a starter. In
addition to setting Monmouth’s career
rushing record, the hard-running
tailback shattered the Northeast
Conference’s scoring mark. His 22
touchdowns in 2008 upped his career
point total to 330, well ahead of former
NEC leader Rick Sarille’s 300.

Monmouth
Monmouth has not finished lower than third in the
Northeast Conference standings since 2002. The perennial title contender was the league's runner-up in 2008,
falling only to NEC champion Albany on the road.
Selected second in the preseason poll for the third
straight season, Monmouth sets out in search of its sixth
conference crown, and first since 2006. The last time the
Hawks sunk their claws into the NEC crown, Dave Sinisi
was in his first year of duty as the starting tailback. Three
seasons, 3,612 rushing yards, and one NEC Offensive
Player of the Year award later, Sinisi would love to close
his collegiate career in the same fashion he started it.
The three-time all-NEC tailback, who rushed for 1,674
yards and a NCAA-best 22 touchdowns in 2008, is one of
five returning starters on offense. The four others are on
the offensive line. The only loss the Hawks incurred up
front was the graduation of two-time all-NEC tackle Nick
LoCastro. Senior captains Kevin Sterling and Shawn
Wright return to a unit that not only paved the way for
192.7 yards per game rushing, but also provided premium
protection for the passer. Monmouth was eighth amongst
FCS teams in surrendering only nine sacks in 11 games.
Time to throw is precious to any quarterback especially a first-year starter, which is what Monmouth will
have under center come September 5 when it opens the
season at Colgate. Junior Andrew Mandeville, a local
product and former Shore Conference standout, is penciled in as the pre-training camp starter after completing
7-of-10 passes for 76 yards as a backup last year.
Monmouth will miss 2008 NEC Defensive Player of the
Year Kevin Walsh, but the former defensive end is one of
only three starters lost from the NEC's second-ranked
scoring defense (20.5 ppg). Fifth-year senior David
Kennedy returns to his interior line position where he
recorded 10.0 tackles for loss, including 5.5 sacks, last
season. Senior linebacker Jeff Brady made the secondmost tackles (54) on the team in his first year of full-time
duty.
The Hawks are strong and battle-tested in the secondary, which is home to reigning NEC Defensive Rookie of
the Year Jose Gumbs. The starting free safety made 60
tackles (43 solo) and broke up five passes in 10 games.
Junior cornerback Kenny Amsel has earned the honor of
team captain one year after he ranked fourth amongst
NEC leaders in passes defended (10 - 3 INT, 7 BrUp).
One of the few areas in which veteran head coach
Kevin Callahan's team is untested is at placekicker. The
reliable Fred Weingart, who converted more field goals
than any player in Monmouth history, has graduated, which
means Jake DelVento will have a chance to claim the job.

Kevin Callahan Biography
The only head coach in the history
of football at Monmouth, Kevin
Callahan has developed a winning
tradition in West Long Branch.
Beginning his 17th season at the
helm of the Hawks, Callahan has
amassed a 96-66 record and his
teams have captured Northeast
Conference titles in five of the 13
seasons the league has
sponsored football. Regarded as
an outstanding coach by his
peers, Callahan served as the
President of the FCS Football
Coaches Committee in 2007-08.
He has been a member of the
committee since 2002.
Callahan led the Hawks to their
10th winning season in 2008,
finishing with a 7-4 overall record
and a 6-1 NEC mark. Monmouth
started the season with three
straight losses, including losing to the CAA’s Rhode Island and NCAA
playoff team Maine by a total of seven points, but rallied to win
seven of its final eight games. In conference play, the Hawks
outscored their opponents 210-134, losing only to eventual league
champion Albany. Monmouth’s first victory of the season, a 30-17
win over Bryant on Sept. 20, was also a milestone for Callahan, who
tallied his 90th career coaching win. MU earned three major
conference awards for the first time in program history, as junior
David Sinisi, the NCAA’s second-leading rusher, earned Offensive
Player of the Year honors. Senior Kevin Walsh won the Defensive
Player of the Year award and safety Jose Gumbs was named Defensive
Rookie of the Year.
In 2006, Callahan led the Hawks to their first ever outright Northeast
Conference Championship, their third in four years. Monmouth
finished the season going 10-2 overall and 6-1 in conference play
earning a bid to play in the first ever Gridiron Classic, which was held
at Kessler Field. The Blue & White defense finished first in Division IAA in scoring defense, allowing just 12.67 points per game. Three
players from the championship team were named 2006 Sports
Network Mid-Major All-Americans. Callahan, himself, earned his
third NEC Coach of the Year award, as the Hawks placed 11 players
on the All-Conference teams.
In 2004, the Hawks won their first-ever I-AA Mid-Major National
Championship as they earned The Sports Network Cup following a
10-1 campaign. The season also brought MU their second consecutive
NEC title and the fourth in the program’s history with a 6-1 mark in
league action.
In 1998, Callahan was first recognized for his coaching excellence as
he was tabbed the NEC Coach of the Year after leading the Hawks to
their second NEC championship in three years. The team established
over 30 new school records that season and featured one of the top
offenses and defenses in Division I-AA.

Prior to accepting the head position at Monmouth in August 1992,
Callahan served as assistant coach at Colgate for eight seasons.
Callahan coached 11 All-Patriot League players as the Raiders’ defensive coordinator and his unit ranked amongst the nation’s leaders in
rushing yards per game (1987) and total defense (1990).
Callahan groomed his defensive coordinating skills at Wagner from
1981 to 1983. During his three seasons with the Seahawks, Callahan
served as defensive coordinator, linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator. In his each of three seasons at the Staten Island school, the
Seahawks were ranked in the Division III Top 10 each of his three
seasons.
In 1980, Callahan served as an assistant coach under Frank Maloney at
Syracuse University. He served as the assistant offensive backfield
coach for the Orangemen. A native of Elmira, N.Y., Callahan began his
coaching career as a graduate assistant for three seasons at the
University at Albany from 1977 to 1979.
Callahan was a two-year standout on the playing field at the University
of Rochester. He roamed the Yellowjackets’ defensive backfield from
1975 to 1976. As a senior, Callahan earned Associated Press Little AllAmerica and ECAC All-East honors. He graduated with a bachelor’s
degree in history from Rochester in 1977.

Robert Morris won at least a share of the
first five Northeast Conference crowns.
Under the only head coach they’ve ever
known, Joe Walton, the Colonials resided
atop the NEC standings from the league’s
inaugural 1996 season through the completion of the 2000 campaign. Robert Morris
twice tied Monmouth (1996, 1998) for first
place, but claimed the other three titles outright. Robert Morris has not won the league
since the turn of the century, but has posted
at least a .500 NEC win percentage in five of
the past eight seasons.

Russ more than doubled the
594 yards he ran for as a freshman during what was a remarkable sophomore season.
Carrying the ball 215 times, the
5-foot-8 halfback amassed
Robert Morris’ highest singleseason rushing total (1,255
yards) in 13 years of NEC competition. His 246-yard effort in
a win over Steel City rival
Duquesne marked the
program’s best since Tim Hall
went for 250 yards in 1995.

The growing pains were evident for Robert Morris
during its 1-4 start to the 2008 season, but the
Colonials congealed on their way to finishing in a
tie for third place in the NEC standings.
RMU won four of its final six games to finish
with a winning NEC record for the ninth time in 13
seasons under legendary head coach Joe Walton.
The second-half surge and the return of its numerous culprits have Robert Morris thinking about its
first NEC title since 2000.
The Colonials welcome back 17 starters (not
including specialists), including second team allNEC tailback Myles Russ. Following 155 carries
and 594 yards as a rookie, Russ took on an even
greater role as a sophomore in 2008 and couldn't
have responded any better. The hard-running, quickcutting ball carrier totaled 1,255 yards and six touchdowns on 215 attempts.
The offensive line that started 2008 as a relatively inexperienced one opens the new season as
a battle-tested unit responsible for protecting a new
Konycki, who comprised the line's right side at
tackle and guard, respectively, last season, return to
the unit, but in different spots. Andrade moves
over to left tackle where he fills the void left by the
graduation of former all-NEC performer Joe Setticase
while Konycki shifts one spot to right tackle.
Sophomore center Sam Miller stays put after
starting all 11 games as a rookie at the demanding
position.
Amongst Robert Morris' 10 returning defensive
starters are a trio of all-NEC performers, one in each
line of defense. Senior defensive end Mark
Szymanksi has made 24.0 tackles for loss over the
past two seasons as a starter. One year after transferring from Temple, junior linebacker Alex DiMichele
made 116 tackles to rank fourth amongst NEC leaders. Senior safety Michael Landers defended a
league-high 15 passes last season and recovered
three fumbles.

Joe Walton Biography
If there has been one constant associated with Robert Morris University football through the program’s
first 15 years, it’s been Joe Walton.
He was named the program’s first
head coach on July 27, 1993, and
has held the post ever since.
Head Coach
in 1996 and 1997.
To prove that, Walton agreed to a two-year contract extension in December of 2007, meaning he will lead the Colonials through the 2011
campaign.
In 1994, after 35 years in the NFL, Walton took 64 freshmen at a school
that never had football in its 73 years of existence and posted a 7-1-1
record 13 months after being named head coach. That team won its
first game 21 days after the start of training camp and won five straight
to start the season. In 1995, Robert Morris went 6-4, after which the
Oakland Raiders drafted running back Tim Hall in the sixth round of the
NFL Draft. Walton led RMU to Northeast Conference and ECAC Bowl
titles in 1996 and 1997 with 9-2 and 8-3 marks, respectively.
The 1998 Colonials, with 12 first-year starters, dipped to 4-6, yet Robert
Morris shared the NEC title. In 1999, RMU posted an 8-2 record, a fourth
straight NEC championship and a final No. 1 ranking at the NCAA I-AA
mid-major level according to Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football
Gazette. That was followed by a 2000 campaign that saw the squad
finish a perfect 10-0, the first undefeated season for any program at
RMU. In the process, the team won its fifth straight NEC championship
and another No. 1 ranking at the NCAA I-AA mid-major level according to
the Football Gazette. The 2001 squad finished with a record of 6-3 and
missed out on its sixth straight NEC title, but the Colonials rebounded to
post six straight victories after starting 0-3. In 2002, with 13 players in
the starting lineup either freshmen or sophomores thanks in large part
due to injuries, RMU finished 3-7, then rebounded to post a 6-4 record in
its 10th anniversary season in 2003 and again 6-4 in 2004.

Pittsburgh ‘57
1993-
"It's hard to believe," Walton speaks on how fast time has elapsed. "I've
said this many times before, and I mean it when I say that this situation
is one of the best things that has ever happened to me in my life. It
happened at the right time. Before this position became available, I felt
I was too young to quit coaching, but I wasn't anxious to get back into
pro football. When this came along, it was the perfect fit. This situation
was the perfect opportunity for me to continue to do what I like to do,
and I've loved every minute of it."

Joe Walton
Under Walton's tutelage, the
Colonials have claimed five Northeast Conference titles and a pair of
mid-major national crowns in the
program's first 15 years of existence. Robert Morris also is one of
just two programs to claim a pair
of victories in the ECAC Bowl, having won it in back-to-back seasons
His fingerprints are all over the football program, and to prove that, in
2004 he had the University's on-campus football stadium named in his
honor. Joe Walton Stadium hosted its first football game in 2005 to
rousing success, as the Colonials defeated Butler, 49-17.

Joe Walton Stadium
Moon Township, PA
Walton had his most recent NFL duty in 1990-91, when he served two
years as Chuck Noll’s offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
When Noll retired in 1991, a new staff came aboard, and Walton went
into the moving business. From 1983-89, he headed the Jets. Also
among his years in the NFL were two seasons as the Jets’ offensive
coordinator (1981-82), seven with the Washington Redskins (offensive
coordinator 1978-80; running backs 1974-77) and five with the New
York Giants (wide receivers 1969-73).
The remainder of his NFL career saw him spend eight seasons as a
Washington Redskin and later as a New York Giants tight end, and four
as a Giants scout after retiring in 1964. Walton was twice an AllAmerican at the University of Pittsburgh. He and his late wife Ginger,
who passed in 2007, have lived in Beaver Falls since returning to the
area in 1990. Walton protoges include Rich Kotite, Bud Carson, Joe
Theismann, Fran Tarkenton, Norm Snead, Ken O’Brien and Richard Todd.

Sacred Heart is one of only three programs to complete an undefeated run
through the Northeast Conference
schedule. Prior to Albany’s back-to-back
perfect NEC showings in 2007 & 2008,
the Pioneers were last the team to run the
table in conference play. The 2001 Sacred Heart squad went 8-0 against league
foes en-route to the program’s only NEC
title. The Pioneers boasted a 7-1 conference record in 2000, but settled for second-place thanks to Robert Morris’ perfect (8-0) season.

Sacred Heart
Dukes tomost-accomplished
Watch receivers on his side. Senior
Steve Tedesco set the conference single-season
Sacred Heart was the NEC's most improved team
a year ago. Following a 3-8 record and winless
conference showing in 2007, the Pioneers won
seven of their first eight games of 2008 to surge up
the standings.
The Pioneers defied their 2008 seventh-place
preseason poll ranking, but possibly even more
impressive than the turnaround was that Sacred
Heart did not surrender a quarterback sack for the
season's first seven games. Four of the five offensive linemen who provided premium protection to
all-NEC quarterback Dale Fink are back, including
second team all-league center Justin Smith.
Now a seasoned signal caller heading into his
third season as a starter, Fink will lead an offense
that scored 29.1 points per game a year ago. The
two-time all-NEC quarterback, and 2007 NEC Offensive Rookie of the Year, rarely makes mistakes.
He completed 67.8 percent of his passes last year
and was intercepted only 13 times, compared to
24 touchdown tosses.
The league's most-efficient passer (140.3 rating) is fortunate enough to have one of the league's
record for receptions (77) in upping his career total
to 162, sixth-most in NEC history. The sturdy 6foot-3 target averaged 11.6 yards per catch on his
way to 891 yards and a league-high 10 touchdowns in 2008.
Sophomore running back Garry Coles gives
Fink a pass-catching weapon out of the backfield.
There wasn't much Coles, who caught 20 passes for
225 yards and four scores, didn't do in his rookie
season. The first team all-NEC return specialist received a handful of carries as well. He'll likely
assume a larger role at running back this season
following the graduation of Evin Jones (234 att.,
1174 yards).
Sixth-year head coach Paul Gorham welcomes
back senior defensive leaders, and preseason allNEC selections, Bill O'Brien and Andre Isla. O'Brien
made 61 tackles, 8.0 for a loss, from his lineman
spot while Isla made 50 tackles and four interceptions at safety.

Paul Gorham Biography
Entering his sixth year at the helm
of the Sacred Heart football team,
Paul Gorham has put his stamp on
the Pioneer program. With his fifth
solid recruiting class in place the
offensive-minded coach has been
able to begin putting the pieces of
the puzzle together that match his
game plans.
Head Coach
In addition to his experience, he instilled a renewed sense of excitement and optimism in a program that just three years earlier had
finished with a perfect 11-0 record and an I-AA Mid-Major National
Championship. After losing three of the first four games of the 2004
campaign, he learned the abilities of each of his players, Gorham
guided the Pioneers to four straight victories and five in the last six to
finish the year 6-4.
Prior to joining the Pioneers, Gorham spent five years on the University
of Massachusetts coaching staff as recruiting coordinator and wide
receivers coach. Gorham helped lead the Minutemen to an overall
record of 10-3 and a trip to the NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs in 2003. The
team shared the Atlantic 10 Conference title with an 8-1 mark and
UMass set school records for regular season victories (10) and conference victories (8). Gorham helped the offense average 380.4 yards and
28.3 points per game in 2003, including 231.6 passing yards per contest.
In addition to his duties as recruiting coordinator during his first three
years with the Minutemen, Gorham coached the offensive linemen. In
2000, Gorham directed an offensive line that allowed the Minutemen
to rush for 170.4 yards per game, while also supplying pass protection
to let UMass throw for 232.4 yards per game. During his first season
with the Minutemen, Gorham's offensive line paved the way for UMass
to average 187.9 rushing yards and 248.5 passing yards per game.
Prior to his time at UMass, Gorham worked on the staff at Brown
University for five seasons. He served as the offensive coordinator on
Phil Estes' staff in 1998, after spending the previous four years as the
offensive line coach under Mark Whipple. In 1998, Gorham directed a
Brown offense that led the Ivy League with an average of 433.8 yards
per game. In addition, Brown's 1998 offense established 25 team or
individual records and five Ivy League team or individual marks. Among
the Brown records set were passing yards in a season (3,316), first
downs (240), pass completions (292), touchdown passes (26) and
passing yards in a game (483 yards against Pennsylvania).

2004-
Gorham’s work translated into the
NEC’s top turnaround in 2008. After a 3-8 record in 2007, the Pioneers went 8-3 and recorded the
team’s best NEC finish (t-3rd) since
2001.
When he was introduced as Sacred Heart's seventh football coach
in July of 2004, Gorham brought
with him a wealth of experience
and accomplishments in his inaugural season as a collegiate head
coach. He compiled 18 years of experience in the trenches as an
assistant at the Division I-AA and Division II levels, developing an innovative and exciting offensive philosophy.

During his stint at Brown, Gorham helped develop the Bears' offensive
line into one of the top units in I-AA. Gorham was also instrumental in
recruiting wide receiver Sean Morey, Brown's first Ivy League Player of
the Year (1997 and 1998).
Prior to going to Brown, Gorham served for six years under Whipple as
the recruiting coordinator and offensive line coach at the University of
New Haven. While at New Haven, he helped develop 1994 Division II
Player of the Year Roger Graham and three additional first team AllAmericans in Harry Boatswain (went on to play with the San Francisco
49ers), Rob Thompson (1988) and Scott Emmert (1992). The Chargers achieved national rankings on four occasions with an offense that
led all NCAA Divisions in total offense (587.7 yards per game) and
scoring offense (52.5 points per game) in 1992. Gorham also served as
an assistant coach at the University of New Hampshire for two seasons
when Whipple was the offensive coordinator.
A 1984 graduate of the University of New Hampshire, Gorham was an
All-Yankee Conference tight end in 1983 for the Wildcats. He and his
wife, Noreen, have a son, Matthew (born June 8, 1992), and a daughter, Emma (born April 21, 1995).

Antoine Rivera
Rivera was at the top of
the Red Flash’s long injury list in 2008. After
averaging 88.5 yards per
game receiving in 2007,
Rivera went down with a
season-ending knee injury in September, 2008.
Set for his final year of
eligibility, the Red Flash
hope he can return to the
form in which he caught
48 balls for 885 yards and
seven TDs on his way to
2007 second team allNEC honors.
- toid
Saint Francis (PA) was home to the top
two receptions leaders in Northeast Conference history. Both playing from 2003
through 2006, Michael Caputo (245) and
Luke Palko (225) caught more passes than
any other receivers in league history. The
two still sit first and second, respectively, on
the all-time NEC receptions list with their
closest active threat being SHU senior Steve
Tedesco (162). Caputo also owns the
conference’s all-time receiving yards mark
(3,464) ahead of current Dallas Cowboy
Miles Austin. Palko, who ranks 10th alltime in yardage, is now a scout with the
Super Bowl runner-up Arizona Cardinals.

2009 Outlook
Saint Francis (PA)
Dukes torouteWatch
to second team all-NEC accolades.
From facilities to performance, Saint Francis (PA)
has made great gains as a program under eighthyear head coach Dave Opfar. The Red Flash enter
the 2009 season with a new weight training facility, one of numerous upgrades the athletic department has made in recent years, and a number of
all-NEC performers to use it.
After closing the 2007 season by winning three
of their last four contests, Saint Francis (PA) appeared to be moving closer toward contention.
Injuries, mistakes, and bad breaks prevented the
Red Flash from taking another step forward and
were key culprits to a winless 2008.
Still, optimism remains for the Flash.
Their defense features a feared linebacking corps
headed by Sports Network Preseason All-American
selection Scott Lewis. The Keystone State native
followed up his 2007 NEC Rookie of the Year award
by setting the conference's single-season tackles
record (142). Fellow sophomore Matthew Parker
made 122 stops, ninth-most in league history, en-
Set for his third season as the starting signal
caller, George Little looks to blossom into the
consistent quarterback his physical abilities suggest he can be and the return of two all-NEC receivers will only aid his development.
Little will take the snaps from senior center Cody
Kekipi who is coming off first team all-NEC honors.
Kekipi and his mates will benefit from the presence
of Chris Villarrial, who joins the coaching staff following a NFL playing career as a guard with both
the Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears.
After all-league receiver Antoine Rivera went
down with a season-ending knee injury in week
three, Omar Winston stepped up to catch 56 passes.
The sure-handed Winston impressed enough to win
all-league second team honors and now returns for
his junior season alongside a healthy Rivera. In
2007, his last full season, Rivera made 48 catches
for an NEC-best 885 yards and seven touchdowns.

Dave Opfar Biography
Saint Francis head football
coach Dave Opfar has made a
habit of winning, especially in
his home state of Pennsylvania.
The former defensive tackle won
a NCAA title in State College and
a pair of USFL crowns in
Philadelphia. Now, he faces the
task of establishing a consistent
winner in Loretto.
When Opfar became Saint
Francis’ 24th head coach in
December of 2001, he inherited
a program that had once lost
23 consecutive games and had
only one conference win in its
history as a NEC member.
During the early portion of his
tenure, he recruited and coached
the all-time leading passer (Anthony Doria), all-time top receiver
(Michael Caputo), and third-leading rusher (Todd Harris) in
NEC history. Now, he enters his eighth season with the top
tackler in the league’s single-season history (Scott Lewis) along
with three other all-NEC returnees.
Throughout his career, both as a player and coach, Opfar has
thrived in finding ways to win on the gridiron. As a player, he
captured a national championship at Penn State and two United
States Football League titles with the Philadelphia Stars. As a
coach, Opfar has carved out a reputation within the collegiate
ranks as a brilliant tactician on the defensive side of the ball.
Opfar became Saint Francis’ head football coach in December of
2001 after serving as defensive coordinator at Washington and
Jefferson College for three seasons (1999-2001). During his stint
at the Division III powerhouse, the Presidents posted a record of
29-6. Washington and Jefferson led the Presidents Athletic Conference (PAC) in fewest points allowed (11.5 ppg), pass defense
(90.2 yards/game), turnover margin (+12) and sacks (35) in
2001. The 11.5 points allowed/game ranked sixth in the nation.
A starting defensive tackle on Penn State’s national championship team in 1982, Opfar was a two-year starter for the Nittany
Lions before graduating in 1983. He finished tied for seventh on
the Nittany Lions’ 1982 national championship squad with 46
tackles, including 33 solo stops and three sacks. From there, it
was on to the Philadelphia Stars and the USFL. The Stars played
in the USFL championship game in each of Opfar’s three seasons,
winning league titles in 1984 and 1985.
Following his USFL career, Opfar worked briefly as a counselor at
a correctional facility for youths before signing a free agent contract with the Steelers in 1986. He started three games for Pittsburgh during the NFL players’ strike that year.

At the conclusion of his season with the Steelers, Opfar played
three years in the Arena Football League with the Pittsburgh
Gladiators (1988), Albany Firebirds (1989) and San Antonio
Force (1990). After four years of college action and seven seasons in the professional ranks, Opfar finally took off his helmet
for good in 1990. But it didn’t take long for him to move to the
other side of the whistle.
After two seasons as Pat Monroe’s defensive coordinator at
Duquesne High School, Opfar landed at Duquesne University,
where he reunited with another former Penn State teammate,
Greg Gattuso, the Dukes’ head coach. Opfar served as Duquesne’s
defensive coordinator for two seasons and as an assistant for five
years, helping the Dukes to two Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) championships in 1996 and 1997.
From Duquesne, it was back to his alma mater as a graduate
assistant coach working with Penn State’s offensive linemen.
After two years on Joe Paterno’s staff, Opfar returned to Western
Pennsylvania, landing at Washington and Jefferson.

Shane Smith
Smith had big shoes to fill
in what was his first season at Wagner after transferring from Central
Florida. The tenacious
tailback helped fill some
of the void left when Jason Butler (1,713 yds in
2007) graduated. Smith,
who missed some time
due to injury in 2008, averaged 4.9 yards per carry
and 79.9 yards per game
during an eight-game
span.

Walt Hameline has coached both the
Northeast Conference’s all-time career
rushing leader as well as the owner of
the NEC’s single-season passing record.
Former Wagner great Rick Sarille accumulated 4,460 rushing yards during the first
four seasons of NEC Football (1996-1999)
and that total has reigned atop the rushing
record book ever since. In 2005, John
Sciarra, who played only two seasons on
Grymes Hill after transferring from UCLA,
threw for 3,331 yards to set the NEC singleseason mark.

Wagner
Wagner hasn't stumbled very often under longtime head coach Walt Hameline. The few times
the Seahawks have stubbed their toe, they've rebounded rather quickly.
Wagner's uncharacteristic 3-8 record last season marked only the third sub-.500 campaign in
Hameline's 28 years at the helm.
The Seahawks had no shortage of injuries, one
of which ended offensive lineman Matt Martin's
season in September. The sight of the fifth-year
senior, who has proven effective at both guard and
tackle, in the trenches will be a welcomed one by
Hameline. The energetic head coach is eager to
point out that the Seahawks will have an o-line
comprised of five experienced starters.
Martin and his line mates will be protecting
one of three different quarterbacks come September. Incumbent Adam Farnsworth, backup Tyler
Newberry, and freshman Nick Doscher will battle
for the starting job in training camp. Farnsworth
was hampered by a bad shoulder, which required
offseason surgery, during his first season after trans-
limited action in two seasons as a reserve, but impressed during last season's spring game. The wild
card is the freshman Doscher who enters his first
collegiate season following four years in minor
league baseball.
Whoever wins the job will have two important
weapons at his side. Bruising tailback Shane Smith,
a senior, was the team's top rusher (79.9 ypg) during what was his first season after transferring from
Central Florida. The Seahawks' top receiver also
returns in the form of senior Lon Woods (41 rec.,
422 yards).
Wagner lost two-time all-NEC selection Robert
Brown, who graduated, from its defensive front, but
returns all-league talent to its backfield in the form
of Stefan Gage. The 2008 second team all-NEC
pick made 95 tackles and defended four passes
from his safety spot. A similar effort from Gage and
Co. will be needed if Wagner is to repeat as the
NEC's top-ranked pass defense (133.5 ypg).

Walt Hameline Biography
Now in his 29th year as Director of
Athletics and Head Football Coach
at Wagner College, the relentlessly
energetic and optimistic Walt
Hameline continues to amass an
astounding record of achievement
and consistency.
Under Hameline’s leadership, the
Seahawk athletic department has
undergone
an
ambitious
expansion in both sport offerings
and facility improvements.
Since 1992, Hameline has added
six women’s sports to the athletic
program. In the spring of 2002,
Wagner introduced women’s water
polo to its slate bringing Wagner’s
total number of Division I teams
to 22 and creating new
opportunities for female athletes.

Alma Mater:
Brockport ‘75
1981Wagner College, Staten Island, NY
• Has posted a 189-105-2 (.639) record in 28 years
• Wagner rebounded in 2007 with its first seven-win campaign since 2002
• Has had just three sub-.500 seasons in 28 years at Wagner
• 2007 marked the 22nd winning season in Hameline’s Wagner tenure, which also
includes four seasons exactly at the .500 mark
• Led Wagner to the 1987 NCAA Division III national title
• Ranks among top-10 Division I FCS active coaches with his .639 career winning percentage
• Winningest collegiate coach in New York Metropolitan history
• Also serves as Wagner’s Director of Athletics
1978-80
Known for his keen vision and
boundless enthusiam, Hameline was influential in establishing the
long-running Seahawk Golf Classic and the Seahawk Club, a pair of
initiatives aimed at increasing funds for the scholarship endowment
and complete financial support for the athletic department. Most
recently under Hameline’s direction, the Wagner College Stadium
field has been resurfaced with a state-of-the-art Field Turf playing
surface. This multi-purpose surface was constructed in the summer
of 2006 and is used for football, soccer and lacrosse.

PLAYING EXPERIENCE:
In 1997 Hameline governed the opening of Wagner’s football stadium
and outdoor track & field facility and was instrumental in erecting the
Spiro Sports Center in the spring of 1999 - a 93,000 square-foot
building which houses a 2,100-seat, multi-purpose arena, a six-lane
swimming pool, team locker rooms and all athletic department offices.
Hameline's coaching record speaks for itself. Heading into the 2009
season, he owns an all-time record of 189-105-2 (.642). Those 189
victories are tied for sixth on the all-time career list among all active
Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) coaches, leaving him 11
wins shy of becoming just the fourth coach in FCS history to accumulate
200 career wins. The 189 wins also rank him within the top 25 of
active head coaches among all collegiate levels.
In 2007, he guided the Seahawks to their 22nd winning season, a 74 mark. In addition, the Seahawks boasted the NEC’s Offensive
Player of the Year in RB Jason Butler as well as four other first-team
All-NEC choices, which included AFCA All-American kicker/punter Piotr
Czech was who went on to sign a NFL free agent contract with
Baltimore.
Hameline’s overall coaching ledger includes five ECAC Championships,
three NCAA Tournament appearances and the 1987 NCAA Division III
National Championship — all told, 10 post-season appearances in 26
seasons. Hameline won his 175th career game - all at Wagner with
a come-from-behind victory over St. Francis (PA) in the 2005 season
finale. He became the winningest coach in Wagner College history in
1990, and boasts a .642 winning percentage at 189-105-2, which
ranks in the top 10 among active FCS coaches in the United States.
The highlight, of course, is the 19-3 win over heavily-favored Dayton
in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl for the 1987 NCAA Division III National
Championship. Against one of the toughest schedules in the nation,
Hameline’s Seahawks rolled to a 13-1 record, winning more games
than any college football team in America. The team earned the
school’s second Lambert Trophy, symbolic of football superiority in
the East among Division III schools, and ECAC Team of the Year
recognition. Hameline was honored by many organizations including
the Chevrolet National Coach of the Year.
