The winningest coach in Rutgers football history, "Flinging Frank" quarterbacked the Scarlet Knights to a four-year, 27-7 record in the late forties. An honorable mention All-American, he was named the MVP of the 1949 College All-Star game, amassing 17 tackles as a linebacker against the New York Giants. As head coach between 1973 and 1983, he recorded a masterful 78-43-1 mark.
