Isn't he universally regarded as one of the worst coaches in Pitt history? They went like 5 years without a conference win. Is this real? Is Stallings being inducted next year?
 
He’s the school record holder for goals. If you can’t put guys like that in the HOF, then who can you put in.

Additionally, yes he might have been the worst coach ever and didn’t recruit…but imagine being the person who had to recruit players to that program to play on a polo field 10 miles from campus. I’d probably give up too.

Congrats to him. A good man.

Great guy. He played on our intramural basketball and football teams. Good buddies with Ken Macha.
Super friendly, I remember he and Chirp Haines were on the soccer team together.

All true points. Don’t forget the practice field too in his early years. All dirt, with a 20 degree slope toward General Robinson Street. You could realistically only practice on one side of the field.
