Quote from: Local MotionKen711.........look we can agree to disagree, but the reality in order for our new AD Nicki Moore to be successful she has to get support from the current administration.   Andy Noel had been trying to get the new indoor practice facility built since former president Elizabeth Garrett gave it her blessing back in 2016.   Andy wanted on campus and Pollack wanted two miles off campus on Game Farm Rd or what ever they call that place.  Andy also fought hard to keep Hoy Field on campus, but Martha Pollack won that battle.  Nothing happens on the East Hill without the support of Day Hall.

Then we can disagree.  I know for a fact that Andy was in favor of a new baseball facility, as were the baseball coaches themselves.  The decision on whether a coach is determined to be fired, does not come from Day Hall.

Andy worked for five different presidents and delivered zero football titles. Maybe he should have cared about  football.

BINGO!!!

Cornell's 2008 Master Plan proposes academic buildings on Hoy Field, so Andy was fighting an uphill battle.

the AD didnt care about sports at about the same level as the President does..  the 2 together make it a hard place to be successful.

Well, simply put, you can't expect an AD to cure a problem in her department without the support of the Prez. That's a BOT issue. Will they engage? We'll see...

Yeah, we could beat them. But after the game when parents congregate in the parking lot ... 911 caller: "There's a man with a gun at Joelton community, little league football. There's a guy. He has a gun." This is football for 12-year-olds, not even old enough for N.I.L. rights, probably.

Bill, I say this with nothing but kindness in my heart...

what the hell does this have to do with Cornell football?

We already had to wade through as many Fire-Archer messages as comments about the games themselves. I just created a separate thread about Archer's history at Cornell and how he stacks up against past Cornell coaches as well as against other Ivy coaches with at least 5 years of Ivy coaching experience.

If we go by such past experience, he's liable to get fired and then go on to win a few Super Bowls.

Or be out of football like former fired HC Tim Pendergast.

I turned on the Dartmouth game, was unironically pleased we were not behind, and then realized only 21 seconds had elapsed.

You just needed to wait another five minutes.

7-0 Dartmouth on a drive which included surprise surprise another long pass (38 yards).

Ken711

14-0 on another Dartmouth drive which included a 27 yard pass play.

Archer will keep his record of 10 straight years of losing seasons unblemished. :-D
