That is actually false, and in fact not even close to the truth.  JF moved his family to Pittsburgh and either purchased or rented a house in the Pine-Richland School District.  His children went to Pine Richland Schools, and attended both home and some nearby road games such as Penn State.  Anyone who attended the home games will remember his sons sitting at the end of the bench at home games for the first couple of years of his tenure at Duquesne.  JF was a frequent attendee at the Pgh Pro-Am games as well. 
At some point after a few years in Pittsburgh I suppose his family moved back to Long Island.  It's really nobody's business,  just a family decision that was made.  You may not like his coaching style, but he is a decent man , so let's leave his family out of the discussion.

Despite the lousy season thus far, the team has a chance to have
a nice finish.
Seven games remain.   Four at home, three on the road.
The road games, SBU and GMU are probably losses.
The remaining road game, STL, is a  possible win along with home games  against Mass, Ford, GWU and ST J
A challenge, obviously, but doable based on teams records although Saragin ratings would indicate otherwise.
Still, a fan can always hope.

And most of us by this point are saying "So what?" Another lost Duquesne season. 

Actually, I hope not. The worst thing that could happen would be to win a few meaningless games, and to have him hang on for another year. The horse is out of the barn and gone. Time to shop for a new one. He'd have to win 6 of 7, then reach the A10 semis for me to change my mind at this point.

Ditto for me here. The last thing I want to have is some false hope that Ferry knows what he is doing.
 

Mr. President you couldn't have said it any better.  Ferry can talk about what he was left with, but I can just imagine if his roster was decimated by a rogue shooting!  Good grief, we'd be talking about a 20 year plan.  I'll agree with Mike Tomlin on one thing, "you are what your records says you are" and there is no disputing that - Ferry has pooped the bed, end of story.  This isn't the football, you can get better by just building with a good recruit or two every year and by year 3 you should be respectable as a team and program.  Quit with the excuses Jimmy or just go back to Long Island.
