Richard Maloney (born July 21, 1950) is an American gridiron football coach. He is the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for Augustana College, positions he has held since 2018. Maloney served as head football coach at the University of Chicago from 1994 to 2012. A five-time University Athletic Association (UAA) Coach of the Year, Maloney guided the Maroons to four UAA championships and notched a 94–82 overall record.[1] His .534 winning percentage ranks second all-time at Chicago, trailing only the legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg.[2] During his tenure, Maloney built a program recognized for not only athletic emphasis but academic excellence.[3]
In 2013, Maloney joined the staff of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) as defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator.[4] Historically an offensive-minded coach, within two years Maloney built a defensive unit that ranked 13th in total defense nationally.[5]
His 2019 Augustana ToughGuy defense repeated success, like the RPI ones by earning 5 national rankings in the DIII's Top 30.
