Tad Gormley

Francis Thomas 'Tad' Gormley (Dec. 23, 1883–Dec. 5, 1965) was the former head of the New Orleans Gymnastics Club and Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). He was a native of Cambridge, Massachusetts and in 1907 moved to New Orleans, Louisiana to run the Young Men's Gymnastic Club.

Gormley served as head trainer at Loyola, Tulane and LSU. He was also a game official in the New Orleans Prep School Athletic League for soccer, football and basketball and superintendent of City Park Stadium. From 1921 until 1923, he served as the head coach for the LSU Tigers men's basketball team, posting a 25-11 record. In 1962, he was elected to the National Athletic Trainers' Association Hall of Fame.

The former City Park Stadium in City Park, New Orleans was renamed Tad Gormley Stadium in his honor. He was the uncle of Joseph L. Gormley.
