Maloney's tenure at Syracuse was marked by inconsistency. His team's fan base turned on him as the Orangemen failed to achieve the national status they had enjoyed under Schwartzwalder, perhaps, failing to remember that Schwartzwalder's last few seasons were mediocre ones, and his 1970 team had been stricken by racial unrest. Maloney's program was also limited by archaic facilities, as Archbold Stadium, Syracuse's home field since 1907, was in need of replacement. Nonetheless, Maloney did recruit a number of future NFL stars such as Joe Morris and Pro Football Hall of Fame member Art Monk.
