Coach Ricca transformed @StJohnsRedStorm football from a club team into an @NCAA program that ultimately reached Division I-AA.
Across 25 varsity seasons, he won 149 games, 7 championships & 4 COY honors. His 1994 team finished 10–1.
But wins tell only part of his story.
This Saturday, as our family gathers to say goodbye to my father-in-law, Coach Bob Ricca, I’m asking @ReceDavis, @PatMcAfeeShow and @CollegeGameDay to remember a man who devoted his life to college football—and built an entire program from the ground up. 🧵
Today we say goodbye to Coach Bob Ricca.
Hoping @ReceDavis and @CollegeGameDay can help the college football family remember him this morning. ❤️🏈
Here’s the copy for @PatMcAfeeShow and the producers:
“We’d like to take a quick moment to honor a legendary coach college football lost this week. Hall of Fame coach Bob Ricca, born and raised in Queens, spent 28 seasons building the @StJohnsRedStorm program from a club program to a D1-AA powerhouse. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the Red Storm community.”

@PatMcAfeeShow it would mean the world to the family and the entire @StJohnsRedStorm community if y’all gave this man a shoutout. @CollegeGameDay and the @NCAA is great because of men like this, who built programs before it was about industry. Back then it was about leading men.

@ReceDavis and @PatMcAfeeShow: A few seconds on @CollegeGameDay this Saturday would mean the world to Coach Ricca’s family and generations of former players who still call him Coach.
Please help us honor a life given to college football. ❤️🏈

@TomSteyer What’s your plan? You won’t reply because you have staff publishing your content. Come on @LTMApodcast to articulate. Like republicans do to win elections.
1998 D11 4A Finals: @RealJoelCesare with helluva TD catch for @ZephyrsFootball. Zephs fell short in '97 rematch vs. Parkland, got silver this time. Cesare went on to play college football at Lafayette. @ZephyrAthletics
