Alumni News - Girardi Elected to College Football Hall of Fame
West Chester alumnus Frank Girardi has been named to the 2016 class of the College Football Hall of Fame as a divisional (non-FBS) coach. Former Golden Ram head coach Dr. W. Glenn Killinger also appeared on the ballot but did not get elected.
After graduating from West Chester in 1961, Girardi went on to coach at Jersey Shore High School from 1961-1968. In 1969, he started coaching at Lycoming College where he became head coach three years later. In 36 years as head coach at Lycoming, Girardi compiled a record of 257-97-4 and racked up 13 Middle Atlantic Conference titles and qualified for the NCAA Division III playoffs 11 times, reaching the championship game in 1990 and 1997. At the time that he retired in 2007, he was the fifth winningest college football coach. Girardi has been inducted into the Killinger Hall of Fame, Lycoming Athletics Hall of Fame, West Branch Valley Hall of Fame, and the Pennsylvania State Sports Hall of Fame.
