Cornell Football 2016

Travis Burkett has left the staff for UNLV to serve as their rb coach.  That means only two assistant coaches remain that came in when David Archer when he was named head coach.  That's a lot of turnover.

Is there an offensive coordinator on the staff?  Last year's OC is gone, & the football website doesn't list one.

Yes there is.  Joe Villapiano who was an assistant on the Harvard staff for the last 10 years.

Former Cornell RB/WR player Chad Nice is now an assistant coach on the Cornell football staff.  I'm assuming to coach either RBs or WRs.

Anyone know if they have a new defense back coach?

Have to wonder why the Cornell football website hasn't been updated to reflect the new coaching hires.  Spring practice has begun.

The new offense hires are known Villapiano and Nice), but I have no clue on the new DB coach to replace Travis Burkett.  I agree, the football website and their Inside Cornell Football website, are both way behind on recent information.

Cornell officially announced their new OC and RB coaches that posted about previously.  Interesting that now Cornell is down to 7 assistant coaches, where as other Ivy staffs have 9, unless they plan to fill the DB coaching assistant position later.

Cornell recently posted its 2017-8 operating & capital budget plan on the Cornell web site.  It lists expected capital projects for the next 10 years.  There is no mention of any plan for either a covered practice field or a Schoellkopf west stands replacement.  Does anyone know the status of either?

Send an email to Ryan Lomabardi VP for Student and Campus Life on the indoor practice facility to get an update.

From what I understand the Indoor Practice Facility was a priority under the late President Garrett.  Her untimely death and Rawlings being a temporary President kind of put the brakes on the project.  Hopefully now that a new President is in place it is an opportunity to resuscitate the project
