Well, there's a little more to Loyola's and Chicago's story. Shaughnessey was 37-19 at Loyola and had five winning seasons out of six there. And he was 59-28 at Tulane. He did badly at Chicago because he was thrown to the wolves.

Interesting stuff indeed!  I heard some football stories when I was at U Chicago and live across the street from Stagg field.  They did eventually bring back football as Div III in 1969, and have been very successful.  I could watch the games out the window of my apartment in the 1980s when I was there.   Well, the view wasn't very good, but I could tell they were playing a game!

However, I maintain that had we tried to hire someone in 2022 with the record Shaughnessey had in 1939, the Cardboard would have exploded with anger and frustration.
