Re: New Cornell football coach search - 3 days ago
billhoward It feels as if new Ivy coaches who aren't successful are moved on inside of a half-dozen years (with exceptions) or else they do well and stay well over a decade: Bagnoli until recently, currently five others – Priore (Penn, 9 years), Surace (Princeton, 14), Reno (Yale, 12), Murphy (Harvard, 30) – are longstanding. Also all came from the Northeastern colleges and only Surace was a studby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: New Cornell football coach search - 4 days ago
Trotsky Unless we can find the football Schafer, I think about the only way we can get good coaching is to be a step on the ladder for an ascending coach. Take D-2 phenoms, lose them in 3 years to an FBS school, and repeat. I assume every year there are guys available from D-2 who have led their schools to a few seasons of > .750 ball. That's where to look, and don't insist on loyalty. Mby Ken711 - Other Sports

Re: New Cornell football coach search - 14 days ago
"Coaching experience at an Ivy League or other highly academically selective institution strongly preferred." I wonder how much weight they give to this. Certainly it helps to have some experience recruiting the type of players that Ivy League schools target. I suppose they would look at other Ivy League school assistants like Mickey Fein the OC at Harvard or Yale's Chris Ostrowskyby Ken711 - Other Sports

rss77 Not in favor of Swanstrom for various reasons. Anyhow he is rumored to be the coach in waiting at Penn when Priore steps down. I'm curious what reasons?by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: New Cornell football coach search. - 14 days ago
Local Motion While I have no idea regarding the search group looking for a new head football coach, I know former Big Red QB and NFL coach Bill Lazor has been mentioned dating back to the early 2000's. At age 51 and a very impressive coaching resume I hope Cornell has him on their radar. He's young enough to be around for the next 15 years and he obviously knows how to coach QB's and direct tby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: New Cornell football coach search - 14 days ago
Columbia is dismissing their interim coach Mark Fabish, so they'll be two Ivy League head coach openings now. Finishing last in the Ivy League would have been a tough justification to retain Fabish. I'll throw out a couple of possible names for the Cornell and Columbia head coach openings. Dan Swanstrom, who I mentioned as possible candidate before, the former Ithaca College head coach andby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: New Cornell football coach search - 15 days ago
George64 scoop85 On Parker’s website (that’s the search company), they say their average turn around time on a head coaching search is 10-14 days. I assume that’s the timeframe for identifying recommended candidates. Considering that Archer’s departure and choice of a search firm were announced simultaneously, I think both decisions were made prior to the Columbia game. I agree with you.

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 16 days ago
mike1960 I hope the Cornell hiring committee is not too proud to consider coaches from DII and DIII championship winning teams. Lance Leipold won DIII titles at Wisconsin-Whitewater and then turned around the program at Buffalo. He then took a historically awful program at Kansas and has them approaching respectability. When it's all said and done, football is just football, and a coach who winsby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football coach - 16 days ago
RichH kingpin248 billhoward With the season ended, the most likely outcome is for David Archer to step down as head football coach or be removed. Given his two-decade career with Cornell (including as a player), he might find a second life in athletics or Cornell administration. The decision will be easier – less hard – to make this year: * Cornell football lost 3 more games than the best-uby Ken711 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 17 days ago
Local Motion As I have said before Cornell's football season is like the Martha Pollack administration. Ever since she has become president at Cornell the only news coming from the Eaat Hill is bad news. Just ask CNN. Cornell needs a new leader who brings positive energy back to our campus.

Re: Cornell football coach - 17 days ago
George64 George64 Cornell football, under David Archer, is now assured of yet another losing season even if we beat Columbia (by no means a given). Archer should now do the right thing and resign. In PR-speak “to pursue other career options.” Like I said, “by no means a given.” Archer needs to pursue other career options. Without a doubtby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 17 days ago
Trotsky Assuming Archer is gone, is there any reason to think a new regime will be any better? Can Cornell do anything to be competitive in football, or are we Brown hockey? It starts with hiring the head coach, one that surrounds himself with a competent assistant staff. A head coach that has a proven background of winning. Simple answer yes.by Ken711 - Other Sports
