Al Bagnoli will finally turn the Columbia football program into a winner in time. Cornell has a long tough road ahead.

Don't think so. I think if Cornell ends up 1-9 again, we may be looking for a new coach.

I don't think you hire Archer to send him packing after three seasons unless there's a can't miss coach on the doorstep. I think you have to give someone like that (young guy with no experience) a long leash or you're just wasting everyone's time hitting the reset button again.
I think his recruiting is why he needs more time. He just landed a 3 star 2016 QB from Seattle (Harley Kirsch). The kid was a MaxPreps All-American and was in the Top 20 in the nation across Rivals, 24/7 etc. at one time until he went silent on recruiting. His stats are insane.

Recruit from Seattle should be used to throwing in the rain.
Give David Archer some time. Or more rope.
Bagnoli has brought a QB transfer to Columbia, who started 3 games for the Florida Gators. A 4-star recruit, this kid is eligible to play this fall.
True, but they had a transfer named Nottingham from Stanford last year who was highly regarded, and that didn't work out too well

Fair enough. I'll give Archer two more seasons to at least get Cornell to 5-5 before making a change.

None at all. :-D
The defense is good, Hagy returns at RB... if they limit turnovers, I think they win 2 conference games.. and 2 non-conference games... 4-6 with a defense that continues to get better and better.

Ivy predictions in the Boston Globe this morning: Harvard, Dartmouth, and Yale at the top...Columbia, Penn, and guess-who at the bottom--in that order.
Where's Princeton? Cornell is a better running team this season, unfortunately outside of maybe Columbia, all the other Ivy teams are still stronger.
Quote from: Ken711Where's Princeton? Cornell is a better running team this season, unfortunately outside of maybe Columbia, all the other Ivy teams are still stronger.
By process of elimination, they're either fourth or fifth, along with Brown. I don't remember the order. Does it matter?
And I'm pissed some guy named DeFloria caught the miracle touchdown pass for Bucknell.
Defensive backs played way too soft all afternoon. There were a couple of good passes deflected when they managed to arrive on time, but in general the DBs were 7-10 yards off the wideouts. On that catch, Al, they actually tackled him INTO the endzone. Shoulda been stopped at the one yard line. 2 stupid penalties kept drives going, an off sides on a punt and a defensive hold. Sonnenborn looked pretty good at QB though.
Columbia's starting QB, a transfer from the University of Florida, completed 21 of 25 passes against a good Fordham team. I still don't understand why Cornell, a school with many transfers, never seems to have an impact transfer on the football team.
ILDN lists today's Ivy opener at Yale beginning @ 12:30. The highlights from last week came across well.
Gorgeous first drive, 6 minutes and 9 plays culminating in a 7 yard pass Somborn to Gallo. 6-0, 9:21 to go in the 1Q.
TD on the second long Cornell drive as well, but the kick fails again. 12-0 early in the 2Q.
12-7. Good performance so far, but they have to fix the kicking game fast
Really enjoying the way Hagy keeps the play alive for the extra 2 or 3 yards on pretty much every carry.
Wow, pretty pass to Shaw. 3 TDs on 3 drives and a 19-7 lead.
Cornell stops a Yale drive, then a 50 yard run by Hagy sets up a lovely pass from Somborn-Shaw. 26-7 in the final minute of Q2.
Make that 4 TD after making Yale 0 for 3 on 4th down conversions.
Long Yale KR return sets up TD. Kick failed (half the 6 extra point kicks in the first half failed -- Ivy League football fever -- catch it! :) )
26-13 Cornell at the half. Solid effort, guys.
When Cornell wsa up by 19, I was trying to think the last time they were ahead by that many points, regardless of the final score. Years I imagine.

9-21-13. (http://www.cornellbigred.com/boxscore.aspx?path=football&id=12865)
Yikes. Our kicking game is not good. Mays' FG attempt blocked with 3:30 to go, Yale has the ball on their 40 down 7.
1:12 left, Yale ties it 26-26.
Oof. Yale stops us 3 and out, then hits on a 53-yard TD pass. 26-33, final. Damn shame -- we had that game well in hand.
It's what losing teams do. Silver lining is that they are clearly more competitive.
Quote from: TrotskyOof. Yale stops us 3 and out, then hits on a 53-yard TD pass. 26-33, final. Damn shame -- we had that game well in hand.
If we had run the ball on 1st down (with 1:12 left), we risked giving it back to them with about :32 rather than :49 as we did. We also averaged, I see, 3.1 ypc.
So, why not run on 1st? Likely first down, or close to it. Or you're playing 3rd and short rather than 3rd and long.
As far as I'm concerned, a horrible play call. The few yards and a cloud of dust offense has a lot to be said for it, to my mind, when you're trying to limit your opponent's time with the ball.
That 80-something yard return at the end of the first half killed us too. And, ahead by 10 points, you've gotta fair catch at your own 38, rather than go for the return and fumble it away.
Yikes.

Coaching weakness. Other teams make the correct adjustments at the half, Cornell for the longest time hasn't.
Colgate ahead 21-7 at the half, so Cornell now outscored 47-7 over the last four quarters. Only Cornell score a 79-yard Hagy run on the first play after a Colgate kickoff...one way to avoid having a drive stopped by a procedure or a holding penalty.
Striking display of ineptitude on both offense and defense so far tonight. Beginning to think the first half against Yale was an anomaly...or Yale just just didn't have its collective head in the game until halftime.
In games to date Cornell hasn't benefited from halftime adjustments. Maybe a miracle this time?

That hasn't been something Cornell has been able to accomplish for years not just this season, very doubtful to say the least.
28-7 Colgate with 6:03 left in 3rd quarter.
Well, we did get back to within 28-21 and had 1st and goal in the last minute but came up empty.
I'll admit I haven't followed closely. I don't recall Cornell stating a reason why the Colgate game was played on a Friday night. Lately I've heard random theories from other lightly informed fans. Why host Colgate on a Friday night? Thanks to anyone who knows
Don't know, but it wasn't just us. Columbia - Princeton was on the tee-vee last night, too.

Cornell-Dartmouth is also a Friday night game, with TV, I think.
Harvard is 11-0 under their lights, but they rarely lose playing in their home wind tunnel under any lighting conditions.

There was never any doubt. The differences in where the Harvard football program has performed for the last 15 years versus Cornell's football program are striking.
There is this bright spot (the player, not the typing). Imagine the score if not for Fraser.
Quote from: Cornell game storyOn special teams, senior Chris Fraser excelled, putning seven tiems and averaging a robust 52.4 yards per kick with a long of 67 yards, on of three punts of more than 60 yards. http://www.cornellbigred.com/news/2015/10/10/FB_1010152915.aspx

Imagine if Cornell's kickoff and punt coverage weren't so abysmal.
Fraser was excellent agreed but he also needs to learn not out punt the coverage. Agreed that talent wise Harvard is on different planet but Cornell continues to shoot itself in the foot with untimely penalties and lapses in judgement plus some poor execution from our starting qb. The defense did not play badly as without their efforts in the red zone Harvard probably would have scored in upper 60s.
Last 2 years under Coach Kent Austin, Cornell went 5-5 and 4-6.
Under Dave Archer, Cornell is 3-7, 1-9, and now 0-4, a cumulative 4-20.

That's fine. When you're this bad you might as well shoot for the #1 draft pick.
Since 2000, Cornell has had one winning season in football - 6-4 in 2005.
Quote from: CASThe Big Green Alert, a Dartmouth football blog, reports Cornell is a 10.5 point underdog to Sacred Heart this Saturday.
Even with its 49-7 loss to Dartmouth, Sacred Heart is averaging 33 points per game, and it's won its league the past two seasons. So it's not a surprise that we're double-digit underdogs.

OK, we are the new "old losing streak Columbia". We can't even kick an extra point on our lone TD? At the very least, Archer should fire his special teams coach, as special teams this season outside of our punter are abysmal. I seriously think Cornell needs to bring in an outside consultant like Columbia did before they hired Bagnoli to look at the futility of the Cornell football program and what needs to be done to turn it around.
Agree, we definitely need an intervention.
What they should probably actually do is get ahead of the curve and contract the sport. As CTE and the like continue to gain national attention and traction, the sport is only going to become less popular.

No issue with that assumption. Even if the AD thought Austin would use Cornell as stepping stone to another HC position, he probably hoped that Austin would have at least stayed through year 5 of his contract at which time Cornell could have had a winning and sustainable program for his successor.

Not well, that's for sure.
The season could have started 3-0 or 2-1 and instead it's looking more like a train wreck. Still, it's three close games less than a TD each time, and two blowout losses.

Columbia is much better this yr w/Bagnoli as coach. They beat Yale yesterday, almost won at Dartmouth last week. We have now lost 17 of our last 18. Our last 4 losses have been by a minimum of 20 points. We will be big underdogs the last 3 games on our schedule , including the Columbia game.

"Scoff if you like, but the Big Red was ranked No. 2 and had an 18-game winning streak." Actually, an 18 game non-losing streak - the last game of the 1938 season against Penn ended 0-0. Nonetheless, this represents the high-water mark for Cornell football. Our best season since then was was 8-1 in 1971 - Marinaro's last year. I had to live in Cleveland for 26 years to experience comparable football disappointment.

I thought this was going to be a link to a story about Columbia - who we are scheduled to lose to next Saturday - being in position to tie Harvard with 1 minute left in their game. Down 8 points, they forced Harvard to punt, and put all their players on the line to block the punt. Unfortunately, Columbia can't count, and had twelve players in the formation. The resulting penalty gave Harvard the first down, and they ran out the clock. ::doh::
We had 194 yards on offense and 111 yards in penalties. That is just horrendous. ::wow::

Actually moved the ball pretty well in first half but could do nothing in the red zone. Second half, as usual, was an offensive disaster.
We must lead the country in first-down penalties.
Does look like we are running the table this year. 18 losses in last 19 games. 5 consecutive blowout losses. And our best player is graduating, Luke Hagy.

Cornell football is a hot topic of discussion here.
https://www.voy.com/152805/144812.html
The son of a friend of my wife has interest in Cornell. He's a well-regarded HS junior RB, excels in academics, comes from a great family (Dad is an Air Force colonel -- great guy but serious as a heart attack about his son's welfare). Most importantly, they have a strong interest in Life After Football and want a great education.
He's taken trips to Duke and Vandy and both schools are interested, so I have to think he could be a contributing player -- perhaps even a starter -- at an Ivy.
So, how does this info get passed along to the recruiting staff?

Cornell found Louis Dale when he sent them his own supercut recruiting tape. Tell your friend's son not to forget to close the cover letter with "P.S. I am not a crackpot."

There might be a reason to bet on the obscure stuff that nobody knows about. There was one sports book in Las Vegas in the '90s that took action on college hockey. Drunk Big10 idiots would see it, and bet on Ohio State to beat Clarkson, because "who's that?" Or Notre Dame to beat North Dakota, because of football. Odds are set partially because of the betting. If you knew your stuff and realized that Lake Superior State, Maine, and Colorado College were forces, you could clean up.
To more specifically address your question, there are a lot of Ivy educated a-holes with lots of money who want to seem like a big-shot in casinos.

Pro gamblers love obscure stuff (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/06/sports/ncaabasketball/06ivy.html).
Cornell kicks a field goal on its opening drive (Zach Mays, 35 yards, his longest). From there, the two teams march up and down the field, no scoring, and Cornell leads 3-0 at the half. Luke Hagy carries 20 times for ... 49 yards.
Great mid-third quarter opportunity: Sean Scullen picks off a Columbia pass goes 41 yards to the Columbia 24. Hagy takes it to the 15 (shaken up and le, then next play Cornell facemask penalty -15, Mays tries another 38 yard FG on 4th and 8 and this one is blocked. Lost chances. Cornell intercepts on the next Columbia possession. Third quarter ends 3-0 with Cornell in possession near midfield on a failed Columbia fake punt and Hagy still on the bench. The two teams are 4x22 on third down conversions.
Columbia TD with 6:00 to play called back on offensive holding call, Cornell forces QB farther back to 27 on third down and Columbia misses a 44-yard field goal. Jatis in for QB (the running QB) and Gellatly run for 16, 5, 4, 2 and 1 and two first downs with 2:30 to play. On 3rd and 5, Jatis goes 16 to the Columbia 26 and Columbia is out of TOs with 1:35 to play.
So on the 75th anniversary of the Fifth Down game and Cornell's 3-0 forfeit loss to Dartmouth, Cornell beats Columbia 3-0 and ends a nine-game losing streak. Final Cornell 3, Columbia 0.
On to Philadelphia to close out vs. Penn, which is taking it to Harvard right now.

Quote from: CASAccording to a Columbia football blog, Penn is a 25-point favorite vs Cornell this Saturday
I feel badly not going to support the Red, but then seeing 3 of Cornell's 10 games isn't bad. A couple years back an underdog Cornell team led by Jeff Matthews devastated Penn's pass defenses. Probably not this year. If you go, parking in the Penn garage costs more than the ticket.
Took Penn about 5 plays to score off the opening kickoff. Perhaps fearing Cornell's defense would stiffen later in the afternoon, Penn went for a 2-point conversion run and Cornell stopped that. 6-0 Penn 2 minutes in. And then Penn intercepts on the Cornell 32 on the ensuing Cornell possession. Long afternoon coming. ... Final is a respectable 34-21 loss.
Dartmouth (beat Princeton 17-10) and Penn tie for the title, Harvard leading Yale 21-7 in the third and could also finish 6-1 for a three-way tie.
7:30 in Penn is on pace to win 160-0.
Jatis runs one play, down holding his knee
I'll take a 34-21 loss to Penn. Not a terrible finish.
Quote from: ugarteI'll take a 34-21 loss to Penn. Not a terrible finish.
The game yes, the season no. 5 wins in 3 years?
We were losing 20-0 mid 1st Q, and 34-7 late 3rd Q. The game wasn't competitive.
Quote from: CASWe were losing 20-0 mid 1st Q, and 34-7 late 3rd Q. The game wasn't competitive.
It wasn't competitive but Cornell covered the point spread. ;-) I hope Andy Noel won't let this "rebuilding" continue after next season unless we see some wins!
I agree with CAS. The game was not that close, the team was not competitive, especially our defensive backfield, anf undisciplined on the offensive line. We are in deep trouble in football.
From the Cornell Sun write-up on the Penn game. We are giving out bricks now. I guess it's consolation for not passing out championship rings.
Quote from: Archer gave member each of the senior class a brick with a plaque inscribed with their name on it, a gesture symbolic of how the senior class laid the foundation for future years of Cornell football.
"That certainly shows to me the message is being driven home that comes with the culture of playing for each other no matter what the score is or what is happening," Archer said. "It shows me that that is being bought into."

Quote from: CASUgarte, I assume you mean Archer. Austin went 9-11 in the 2 years preceding Archer being named head coach. Our record is 5-25 under Archer.
Aye, I did.
Cornell couldn't afford Lazor when the search for Austin's successor was ongoing. When the time comes for another head coach search (my guess after next season if we don't start winning games) then I would look at Penn State QB coach Ricky Rahne if we are looking for another former Big Red player. But at that point, why not try and bring in an experienced head coach, even at a lower Div 2 or 3 level.

This is one great example of a circular thread.

I'd agree if it were a ton of messages, such that it would have been reasonable for someone new to the conversation not to have read all the way from the beginning of the thread. In this case, the earlier message posting this information was a whole *five posts back* and 3 hours earlier.
It doesn't matter if Lazor is available, or even if he was "affordable", which I agree he's not, it's highly doubtful we are making a change now. Next year around this time......stay tuned.

Buddy, why would Ken have mentioned Lazor if someone else hadn't already mentioned that Lazor had been fired?

Finally some talk of an indoor practice facility and re-building the West stands at Schoellkopf.

Watching him didn't really instill much confidence in our football program.
He reminds me of Chris Farley from Tommy Boy.

At some point, you have to see results on the field (i.e., WINS). Just my opinion, but I can't see how you can keep Archer if he doesn't win at least 4-5 games next season.

Sorry, I couldn't stomach any of it as soon as I heard our esteemed athletic-director-for-life say "I'm 'high atop' Schoellkopf Hall..." If anybody should know the phrase that pays around here is "far above," it's the person in that position.
But, I guess they don't play that song at wrestling matches, so how is he to know?
How about the phrase "Not putting freshmen over their skis" instead of "over their heads." Being over your skis is a good thing.
Yale Daily News has a recent story re Ivy football recruiting. Story states that Yale and Columbia each have 10 recruits rated 2 or 3 stars committed for next fall. Cornell has 1 ranked recruit. Interesting how quickly Bagnoli is turning around Columbia recruiting. Shows what institutional support and a good coach can do in turning around a moribund program.

Columbia has a another recruit (http://www.dailygazette.com/news/2016/mar/11/audino_311/) of some stature coming under Bagnoli.
Notice the Yale Daily News does a story about recruiting across the Ivy League. That's nice, and not just about what Yale landed.

They care about football and follow the recruiting each year closely, something the Cornell Sun has never done.
