[OT] Cornell Football Head Coach

[atb9]

I like Michael Vick.  :-)

For the first time, after coaching at Cornell (granted not directly after but soon after), he became an offensive coordinator, not just an OL or TE coach, which he had been stuck in for nearly a decade.  Ugh, that's an U-G-L-Y sentence.  

I will now step aside and see what announcement is made in the next few days, if one is even made.  Who knows.  Not I, for sure!

I think it's quite clear what is happening here...

Athletics is trying to deflect attention away from its #9 nationally ranked men's hockey team -- heading into quite possibly its most important conference weekend of the year, including a game against its biggest rival -- and onto a gridiron squad coming off a thrilling 1-9 season.

Don't fall for the trap, guys!

Heh.  ::not sure which smily is appropriate.  choose your own::

Conversely, if the football team hired Ned, they'd be 10-0 within three years.

Buffalo sports stations are reporting that (soon to be former) Buffalo Bills Offensive Coordinator Kevin Gilbride is interviewing for the Head Coach position at Cornell University.

Have you seen the Bills offense?  It would be less terrifying to hear that Goldie Hawn was interviewing for the job.

Gilbride has a lot more history than just this past season with the Bills...just like Trestman in Oakland.  Gilbride even has much more name recognition than Trestman.

I think it's great that NFL-caliber coaches are being interviewed, but.........Why on earth are these people interested in coaching at Cornell?

From what I can tell, Trestman has a much better reputation that Gilbride.  Gilbride is best remembered for Buddy Ryan taking a swing at him because Ryan thought he was inept.

Although the critics haven't been as kind this year, here's an SI article from this time last year on Trestman:

He's also got a law degree and was Bernie Kosar's QB coach for Miami's first national championship team.  Sounds like a damn good candidate to me.

I vote for Steve Nelson.  He turned around a crappy program and turned it into a winner.  That's exactly what we need.  NFL coaching experience doesn't necessarily mean success at this level.

I'm just happy we've narrowed it down to three good candidates.  Whoever we get, they should bring energy back to the program.
