'''Frank "Bull" McCaffrey''' was a player and, later, head coach for the [[Fordham Rams]] football team.<ref name=cfbdw>[http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/coaching/alltime_coach_year_by_year.php?coachid=2624 Frank McCaffrey] at College Football DataWarehouse. Retrieved on 28 February 2010.</ref> McCaffrey split head coaching duties with [[Frank Gargan]] for just one season (1917) and compiled a record of 7–2–0.<ref name=cfbdw/>

McCaffrey was also a graduate of Fordham in 1911.<ref name=trad>[http://fordham-tradition.org/sep91.htm TRADITION :: The newsletter of Fordham Alumni Association :: September 1991]. Retrieved on 28 February 2010.</ref> A 5'11", 165-pound [[running back]], he earned the nickname "Bull" for his powerful running style.<ref name=trad/> He was Fordham's first-ever All-America selection when in 1909, his junior season, when [[Walter Camp]] chose him as one of the premier college football players.<ref name=trad/> Fordham discontinued football before McCaffrey's senior season in 1910, so [[Princeton University]] offered him a football scholarship. Frank McCaffrey did not accept the scholarship because his mother thought that football was too rough and she did not want to see him get hurt (which had been a concern of hers while McCaffrey played for the Rams).<ref name=trad/> 

McCaffrey became a dentist and oral surgeon after studying at the [[New York University College of Dentistry]].<ref name=trad/>
