Who would hire him?

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

Lauren '06 · December 23, 2009, 10:16:55 PM

"Assume the position"?

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.

Rumor has it that Knowles has taken a defensive coordinator job at Duke. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/313647-princeton-names-new-coach

Princeton just hired their new coach, an alumni and assistant offensive line coach for Bengals.

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

I think we have our answer: Knowles LIKES being at the bottom of the conference.

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.

Quote from: FootbalCoachScoop.comJoe 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.

Can we please choose an "offensive-minded" candidate? I am sick of watching Cornell's inept, two-first-downs-a-game offense.

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

Most of the names mentioned are offensive-minded. The first batch was

Code Select


[url=http://www.gocrimson.com/sports/fball/coaches/lamb_joel]Joel Lamb[/url] - Harvard offensive coordinator :-)
[url=http://www.goholycross.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/gilmore_tom00.html]Tom Gilmore[/url] - Holy Cross head coach, formerly defensive coordinator at Lehigh :-/

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Prince]Ron Prince[/url] - Virginia special teams coordinator, former Kansas State head coach, and former Cornell running coordinator:-)::uhoh::
[url=http://www.kstatesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=400&ATCLID=776908]Ricky Rahne[/url] '02 - Kansas State tight ends coach and former Cornell player and :-)

FootballCoachScoop has now added another

Code Select


[url=http://www.gatorzone.com/story.php?id=15177]Brain White[/url] - Florida tight ends coach :-)

The smilies only indicate apparent offensive vs. defense coaching experience, and thus, presumably, orientation, except with Prince, who looks like a can of worms.
