Coming off one of his most successful campaigns as the University of Chicago’s head football coach, Dick Maloney enters his 18th year with the Maroons in 2011.

Last season, Maloney guided Chicago to its fourth University Athletic Association championship and an 8-2 overall record – matching the most wins by a UChicago team during the school’s modern football era.

Maloney, who boasts 37 years experience coaching at the collegiate and professional levels, earned his fifth UAA Coach of the Year award last fall while raising his career record to 85-71. The winningest coach of the Maroons’ modern era, Maloney’s .545 winning percentage ranks second all-time at Chicago, trailing only the legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg.

En route to becoming the winningest coach of Chicago’s modern football era (since 1969), Maloney has produced a 52-27 (.658) mark at Stagg Field – home of the Maroons since the program returned to NCAA Division III competition in 1969.

During Maloney’s tenure, Chicago has boasted seven All-Americans, six UAA Offensive Players of the Year, three UAA Defensive Players of the Year, six UAA Rookies of the Year, and two Aztec Bowl selections. Maloney’s teams have also claimed a pair of NCAA Division III team statistical titles and have featured three individual national statistical leaders.

Led by Aztec Bowl selection and UAA Defensive Player of the Year, Rob Tamillow, and the NCAA Division III interceptions leader, Colin Carrier, Chicago captured its third UAA championship with a 3-0 mark in league play in 2005. After starting the season 0-4, the Maroons won their final five games by a combined score of 173-23 en route to a 5-4 record. The 2005 campaign marked Chicago’s sixth winning season in the previous nine years.

In 2002, Maloney’s squad featured one of the most potent passing attacks in the NCAA Division III as the Maroons averaged 303.1 yards through the air – 10th-best in the country. Featuring three-time All-UAA quarterback Josh Dunn, who ranked 13th in Division III in total offense, and wideout Jim Raptis, who stood fourth in receptions and 11th in receiving yards, Chicago produced the nation’s 24th-most prolific offense with more than 425 yards per game.

In addition to the Maroons’ NCAA statistical leaders, several other players garnered national distinction during the 2002 campaign, including All-America tight end Mike Healy.

From 1997 to 2001, Maloney guided the Maroons to five straight winning seasons, a feat last accomplished by Stagg during Chicago’s years as a member of the Big Ten Conference from 1911-15.

Maloney led the Maroons to a 6-3 mark in 2001 as Chicago featured an explosive offense that averaged more than 29 points and 415 yards per game.

En route to earning his third UAA Coach of the Year honor in 2000, Maloney guided the Maroons to their second UAA championship with a 4-0 mark in league play and a 7-2 overall record. Led by two-time All-America linebacker Dan Philips, Chicago featured the top rushing defense in the NCAA Division III.

Maloney earned his second UAA Coach of the Year award in 1998 after steering the Maroons to their first-ever UAA championship with a 4-0 mark in league play to go along with a 7-2 overall record. The Maroons’ UAA crown marked the school’s first football conference title since it won the Big Ten in 1924.

In his second season at Chicago in 1995, Maloney directed the Maroons to a record of 8-2 – their first winning season since 1987 – and enjoyed the school’s winningest campaign since 1905. Maloney’s club gained national distinction as it ranked sixth in the NCAA Division III in kickoff return average and boasted the nation’s top kickoff return specialist in All-American Derrick Brooms.

Maloney made an immediate impact at Chicago in his debut season in 1994. Inheriting a team that had thrown for just 179 yards the previous year, Maloney’s squad set 17 school passing marks en route to a 5-5 finish. Following the season, Maloney was chosen as the UAA Coach of the Year to become the first Chicago football coach to gain that honor.

Before arriving at Chicago, Maloney served as the offensive line coach for the Canadian Football League’s Ottawa Rough Riders from 1991-93. During his tenure, the Rough Riders qualified for the CFL playoffs every season and twice boasted the league’s top offensive lineman.

Prior to his time in the CFL, Maloney gained 17 years of collegiate coaching experience, including stints at a pair of Ivy League institutions. He served as offensive coordinator at Penn from 1986-90 and as offensive line coach at Dartmouth from 1982-85.

Maloney spent five seasons (1977-81) as offensive line coach at Boston University and one year (1976) as an assistant coach at Boston College. He began his career in 1974 as a defensive line coach at Albany.

During his 34-year college coaching career, Maloney has served as head or assistant coach of 10 conference champions, including an unbeaten Penn club in 1986. In all, Maloney has coached 15 All-Americans and several players who went on to play in the NFL.

The 10th coach in Chicago football history and the eighth of the school’s modern football era, Maloney is a 1974 graduate of the UMass-Boston, where he majored in elementary education. In 1980, he earned a master’s degree in education from Albany.

Maloney resides in southwest suburban Plainfield with his wife, Carolyn. His son, Andrew, was a four-time football letterwinner at Chicago from 2001-04. A wide receiver, he garnered All-UAA recognition in 2004.
