Taking this long, having to convince a guy to take the job and picking someone who spent most of his career in the CFL is a huge mistake not only for Cornell football but for Kent Austin.

Looks like Shea will be busy working with one of the best quarterbacks available in the NFL Draft.

According to footballscoop.com Cornell: Syracuse assistant Bob Casullo is not a candidate.  We have heard that Cornell may have sweetened the deal for a coach that interviewed early on.

I am either guessing Bill Lazor or Linebackers coach from Penn State

Quote from: Ken711Any news on how it's going?  I hope there's more candidates than the names reported so far being Terry Shea, Bob Casullo and Ron Vanderlinden. Those coaches are at or approaching 60 years old.... Rebuilding Cornell's football program is a long-term job to recruit the athletes needed to build an Ivy League championship level program.

A 60-or-just-under-60 year old coach can do a multi-year rebuilding program.  How many young coaches with higher future aspirations would be staying longer than 5-6 years anyway? Either they rebuild the program in that time and move on to greener pastures, or they fail and are gone.

I like this outlook.  The next coach is going to be here no longer than 5-6 years unless an older coach gets the job, has some success and decides to stay until he retires.  Either way, I think we need a head coach who will bring in a fun and attractive offense for recruits to play in and attract a few top notch qbs throughout his tenure.  It will be interesting to see who Noel goes with...I am sensing he will bring in a young guy with little experience which is always a crapshoot
