Minuteman legend Coach Dick MacPherson on Ballot for College Hall of Fame

Former UMass coach Dick MacPherson is listed on the ballot for election in 2007 for the College Hall of Fame.

"Coach Mac" is already in the UMass hall of Fame. He is still interested in UMass football and appeared at the last meeting of the UMass Friends of Football.

During his tenure at UMass MacPherson was very successful.

• Led the Minutemen for seven years (1971-1977)
• Four Yankee Conference championships
• 45-27-1 as UMass coach
• .778 winning average in the Yankee Conference is still 5th best in conference history

After UMass he became head coach at Syracuse. He led the Orange to five postseason bowls including an undefeated season in 1987 and a win in the Orange Bowl.

Later became head coach at the New England patriots (1991-1992).

Good luck to Coach Mac in his election to the college Hall 0f Fame. He deserves it!

A tip-0f-the Helmet to "Rocks22" over on the UMass Football Board for bringing this to my attention.
