DAVE CLAWSON RESIGNS AS FORDHAM UNIVERSITY HEAD FOOTBALL COACH

Former Rams Mentor Takes Head Position at Richmond

Bronx, NY (February 23, 2004) Fordham University head football coach Dave
Clawson has resigned his position to take the head coaching job at the
University of Richmond.

Dave Clawson did a tremendous job at Fordham and has this program going in
the right direction, said Executive Director of Athletics Frank
McLaughlin. We wish Dave the best of luck in his new position.

Clawson led the Rams to a 26-10 record over the past three years, 14th best
in the NCAA I-AA. He guided the 2001 team to a 7-4 record, Fordhams first
winning season since moving to I-AA in 1989, and the 2002 squad to a 10-3
mark as the Rams won their first ever Patriot League title and advanced to
the NCAA I-AA playoffs.

Offensive coordinator Ed Foley will serve as the interim head coach and a
national search for Clawsons successor will begin immediately.
