Search for a new Cornell head football coach

[Ken711]

Word is that John Shoop interviewed on Tuesday.

My concern with a young coach like Shoop is, would he commit long-term to building a championship program at Cornell, or would get frustrated/discouraged and want to return to coaching at a higher level which his prior experience was based on.

Agree.  And will he be able to adjust to Ivy recruiting and financial aid restrictions.

I'm with Tim...a successful D-3 coach or an experienced Ivy assistant.

Al, although there's no assurances, I'm pretty sure Andy Noel will be probing the commitment side from his interviews (after going through the Austin resignation), and hopefully, it will weigh more heavily on the final decision than just a flashy coaching resume.

A poster on voy.com. Nothing wrong with this kind of environment:

>>>  I think at Cornell (as with any Ivy) where there is a lot of academic pressure, players need to have some fun at practice and games.

With Kent Austin resigning to accept the GM/Head Coach roles with the Hamilton Tiger Cats, the search for a new head coach begins.  Look for UVA Offensive Coordinator and Cornell grad Bill Lazor be one of those targeted.

Bill Lazor reportedly leaving UVA to join Philadelphia Eagles staff.
