Subject: What's happened to Cornell? Author: Harvard Crimson Rule! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:51:04 10/25/09 Sun In reply to: Cornell '94 's message, "503 yds given up the defense...enough said" on 19:21:38 10/25/09 Sun They use to be a tough club to score against. Are the player not buying into the system or not talented enough? Really surprised by this collapse. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[Edit] Date Posted: 21:48:25 10/25/09 Sun After a great start in 2004 and 2005, many of us thought Jim Knowles was the man to turn this program around. He was enthusiastic and very hard working. A great resume with a MAC Championship ring as a defensive coordinator and on his way to Nebraska, before Cornell managed to sign him. By 2005 both the offense and defense were clicking with a 6-4 record and an Ivy League championship was just around the corner. Many alums were actually worried Knowles would win a quick Ivy title and then be off to bigger and better job. Since 2007, the team has been in a steady decline on both sides of the ball. What happened?
