I'm sure he'd make a fine position coach somewhere.

Won't be easy for his successor to dig the program out of this hole. What little offense this team had (Ganter, Liuzza, Walters, Barbour) is graduating. Returning QBs threw 32 passes of which five were intercepted. Returning receivers had two receptions for TDs. Returning running backs had one TD rushing.

Would have been nice to see an alum return Cornell to glory. It didn't work out. Now we've got a fresh start.

The Sun followed up on rumors posted at FootballCoachScoop.com on 24 Dec 2009 of Andy Noel's candidates to replace Knowles. There are a couple of alumni in the group.
Today (2 Jan 2010) FootballCoachScoop reports that Joe Moglia, a name not on their earlier list, has interviewed for the job.

Joe Moglia is the former Chairman and former CEO of TD Ameritrade, the largest online discount brokerage firm in the world in terms of the number of retail online equity trades placed each day. Since stepping down as CEO, Moglia has worked as an unpaid voluntary assistant coach/mentor for the University of Nebraska football team. Moglia has stated that he would like to return to coaching and hopes to coach a Division I football school next year. Moglia was a football coach for 16 years, finishing as the defensive coordinator at Dartmouth College from 1981-1983.

Maybe if Mogolia comes, he will pay out of his own pocket to increase staff salaries to recruit better position coaches.

Spoke with a teammate of Ed Marinaro tonight. He was at the Ivy football dinner and CFA reception. Pres. Skorton spoke, this was before the resignation, and said athletic teams are in good shape, except football. He said that was going to change. We surmised Knowles was told to find another job and he won't be fired.

Could sell the little-used "victory bell" to the Bryant basketball program.

The name of Tom Gilmore, the HC head coach, has been in play around the Ivies. Cornell also should be looking at Colgate coach Dick Biddle, 121-53 since being named head coach in 1995. He was 9-2 this year. He's 61 and Hamilton-to-Ithaca might be too much of a lateral move as opposed to the Ivy schools that keep pushing football every year: Harvard, Yale, Princeton (which finally went with an alum as its hire), Penn. Maybe Cornell can offer more money and improve an older coach's retirement prospects.

I believe I read somewhere (sorry, can't provide a link) that Biddle just signed a contract extension at Colgate.

... after Biddle got nibbles from other schools. A 3-year-extension gets him to retirement age and he could certainly keep coaching after that, but not many other schools would want to start a rebuilding program knowing the coach won't be around to see more than a couple of his recruiting classes graduate.David Harding

Most of the names mentioned are offensive-minded. The first batch wasJoel Lamb - Harvard offensive coordinatorFootballCoachScoop has now added another
Brain White - Florida tight ends coachThe smilies only indicate apparent offensive vs. defense coaching experience, and thus, presumably, orientation, except with Prince, who looks like a can of worms.
If this is the batch, I'd take Gilmore in a second. Head Coaching experience and he knows how the Ivies work. He's been successful at Holy Cross and that should count for something. Maybe bring Lazor back as OC.
Please not Brian White...

Why would a current head coach from Colgate or Holy Cross want to take the job at Cornell? With the academic requirements and no post season play, I'm not sure why they would leave their current positions.
This job is more appealing for a current coordinator from a 1AA school or D2/D3 head coach looking for a step up.

With all the talk of lateral moves for other coaches, this might be a good example of a step up, going from the Giants defense to Cornell.
