Frank Joseph Fitzgerald Sr. (August 15, 1919 – October 20, 2014) was an American professional football executive.

He later worked in the radio business and for the NFL draft department of the Houston Oilers, now known as the Tennessee Titans.

[6] Ted Collins became the owner of the Boston Yanks of the National Football League (NFL) in 1944, and in 1946, he hired Fitzgerald to the team.

[8] He moved to Boston, Massachusetts, in mid-1948, and that year became the team's general manager, taking over the duties of Arthur Sampson.

[12] Collins sold the team in 1952 and they became the Dallas Texans; new owner Giles E. Miller retained Fitzgerald as general manager and also gave him the role of vice president, being considered the unanimous choice based on recommendations by Collins and NFL commissioner Bert Bell.

[3] He later recalled his experiences as a football executive: "There was so much bidding over the players that the All-America Conference merged with the NFL in 1950.

The first time Paul Brown of Cleveland asked one of the owners to sign a contract everyone was shocked and offended.
