Cornell lacrosse 2020

The University has a hiring freeze in effect across the board because of COVID 19 so Athletics can't post the position now even if they wanted to.

not sure the hiring freeze really applies here but it does save athletics money with a lateral type move.

It's official now.

I don't see the word "interim" in this announcement. It looks like he's the guy.

You missed this part..."for the 2021 season".

Likely the best possible move in the present situation.

Why do you say this? JHU also has a hiring freeze, but JHU just hired a very good coach under virtually identical circumstances. Did JHU make a mistake?

Thanks for posting. Young as he is, Buczek has all the intangibles to be an excellent leader and head coach. Should be an interesting Town Hall tonight.

Yes, thanks for posting! I'm excited about the program's future!

The freeze had nothing to do with hiring a coach.. They would have gotten permission.  But that also costs money to pay for a search team.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Nice interview.  I think we might have a coach who will stick around (for a change).

Incredibly Buczek & Stevens are less than 5 years from their Cornell graduation (class of '15).  No question they can relate to the current players.

Hopefully their youth and obvious affection for the university will help offset the inexperience factor as they meet with recruits and their families.
