I guess we will see him at least twice a year. Go Griffs!

A former Fordham player joins a former Fordham coach. Glad to see it after failed HC jobs elsewhere.

BG always though Tom put the Kabosh on the CC Cage Club. But it can always be revived. For now, best wishes Tom (except when CU plays Quinny).

You thought? I've said a million times on here that he absolutely did. I was the Cage Club President! He wanted all of "the old guys out" who just complained, were cheap, out of touch, and brought nothing to the table. He replaced it with the Coach's Circle and opportunities to get $1500 suits for $1000.

None of those suits cost that amount. All of them made in Thailand for only a couple of hundred bucks. Tom, for sure wanted the fresh blood but underestimated the value of the loyalty of the old timers.

So you make a big donation & you get a suit. What a concept in the world of casual work clothes.

Tom, was all about making a splash. After awhile you figured out he had his agenda & wasn’t interested in listening. Time to move on.

Go Griffs!

He definitely burned lots of relationships in WNY. He will be welcomed by only a select few followed by a shower of boos & jeers.

With all the stories about Coach Tom I never heard about his selling suits. Can someone explain what that was all about. Stay passionate!

If you donated enough to join the Coach's Circle (10k I believe), you could buy a tailored suit at a reduced rate. There was even a flyer with the details. I remember him telling me that he was bringing his guy in from NYC to do proper measurements.

The only good thing about him was his very hot wife. He always reminded me of a Used Car Salesman.A very bad Used Car Salesman

I'm on board with not liking some of the things he did - especially the killing Cage Club disaster - but I'm not gonna throw TP under the bus. He was an Uptown guy in a downtown college. He did what he thought was right and would work in Buffalo, but he was wrong. It happens.
