Cornell football 2017

Archer's career win percentage as head coach is actually .245 (12-37).

What is Cornell's winning percentage for the last 50 years?  I would not be surprised if it was under .400.

Nope.  130 years of Cornell football total win-loss record 646–522–33 (.552)

No, Cornell's winning percentage for the last 50 years isn't under .400 because it's .552 for the last 130 years...?

Feel free to double check my math, but I have Cornell at 156-209-2 since I-AA was formed in the early 80's.  That's a winning percentage of .427 (not counting the ties).
Since the Ivy League was formed, it's 256-328-7, which is a .438 percentage (again, not counting ties).

Basically,in the Ivy era, Cornell has had three FB coaches with a winning record:  Musick, Hofer, Mangurian.

The Cornell administration either has to get serious and support this team sport or just drop it.  Columbia finally came to their senses and brought in an outside consultant to do a top to bottom review on what needed to be done to field a highly competitive team.  I don't see why not Cornell can't do the same.

Consultant gets lost and wanders about, he'll wind up with manure on his shoes. At Columbia, the only danger was stepping on a used syringe.

Interesting Cornell had a winning program from 1983-2000 (we were 13 games over .500 in the Ivies over this period).  Since then our record has been abysmal.  We can win with the right leadership & institutional support.  Btw Andy was named AD in 1999.

I couldn't resist grabbing that w/l/t data by year and looking for the best 50-year stretch.  1891-1940 with a rate of 0.681. That's counting ties as half a win.  Best decade was 1914-1923 at 0.776, though that includes 1918, when there was no team.  See attached graph.

I was thinking the same thing. Our stereotypes die hard.

Setting aside the statistics, Bill Howard, thats just a remarkably douche-y thing to write

[billhoward]

Cornell up 10-7 on Penn early in second quarter. Cornell fumbles ball away at midfield, Penn TD in closing seconds of first half puts Quakers up 21-10. Cornell living and dying by the turnover today.

Lots of turnovers. Cornell keeps it close. Cannot punch in the tying TD on the game's final play. Penn 29, Cornell 22. We finish 3-4 in the Ivies. Wish it ended better for the seniors.

Yale wins the league title outright, 7-1, only loss 28-27 to Dartmouth. Columbia and Dartmouth second at 5-2.

No more. Now 14-10 Penn.  Can't stop wide running plays.  Two Cornell picks or it would be a rout.
