Email Coach Law

Updated 6/1/09

Frank Law, 58, begins his eighth season with the Blue Hen staff in 2009 as a defensive line assistant coach.

Law was reunited with new head coach K.C. Keeler during the 2002 season. He spent the previous 30 seasons as an assistant coach at Rowan University, including the last nine under Keeler. Law works with second-year Delaware defensive line coach Phil Petitte, also a former Rowan assistant.

Law played in big part in helping Delaware capture the 2003 NCAA I-AA national title as the Blue Hens posted 41 sacks led by All-American defensive end Shawn Johnson. Delaware captured its second straight Atlantic 10 Conference title and advanced to the NCAA I-AA quarterfinals in 2004 behind the play of All-American defensive linemen Chris Mooney and Tom Parks. Parks led the A-10 in sacks with 10.

The Blue Hens enjoyed another outstanding season in 2007 when the Blue Hens went 11-4 and advanced to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision title game. A much improved UD defensive was spearheaded by the play of All-American defensive end Matt Marcorelle.
