Fordham moving on from Chambers, Ferry?

Pat Chambers (and to a lesser extent Jim Ferry) were each in the running for the open Fordham Rams head coaching position.

However, Jeff Goodman is now reporting four finalists for that opening and, unfortunately, no mention of Pat Chambers or Jim Ferry.

Siena head coach Carmen Maciariello and Yale head coach James Jones are also finalists for the Fordham job, along with Jared Grasso and Kyle Neptune, per sources. https://t.co/E9iU2s451f
