Quote from: CASCornell losing 31-6 early 4th quarter.  Headed to 15th loss in last 16 games. 1 winning season in last 16 years. Andy has named 4 head coaches during this period.

There goes my only win of the season prediction outside of perhaps Columbia.

We are the new "Columbia" of the Ivy League.

That may be an insult to Columbia.

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.

IINM they still get a lot of alumni giving connected with football.

Plus I expect HYP will get rid of it first, and then we'll follow suit.

In fairness, I thought Austin was a pretty inspired hire at the time, and who knows, but I think they would've turned into a contender had he stuck around long enough to build the program.

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.

Ask Bill Courtney how that's worked out.

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.

I think the quickest path to success is to contract out the sport.  If the big 5 conferences can do it, why can't we?

Trailing Brown 7-0 early.  Schoelkopf appears to have fewer than 1000 people in the "crowd."

Make that 21-3.  That Columbia game will decide 0-10 vs 1-9.
