Your no comment speaks loudly on how you really feel about his retirement. I have the feeling that this alumni of 1978 has the exact same feeling about his retirement that is expressed succinctly in your no comment.CU88 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 3:02 pm I will withold comment

Now we have to hope that his successor is actually better at the job, which is far from guaranteed.joewillie78 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 4:37 pm Your no comment speaks loudly on how you really feel about his retirement.

I would call that a one-and-half-time adjustment. Like many here, I thought Coyle should have been Long's replacement all along. I presume he was not because of a desire to preserve the composition of the two O midfields. When Lombardi went down, that reason no longer held, and Coyle got moved to attack.Velvet.Fog wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 7:26 pm [*] Credit to the coaching staff for halftime adjustments. Moving 11 to X was a game changer.
LOL! Poor Matt. I was a big supporter of his when he was first hired, but he eventually lost me with his constant and incoherent line-up shuffling that accomplished nothing.
That's going to depend entirely on what the upper admin thinks, which will strongly influence who they hire.faircornell wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 9:27 pm I do hope that the next AD keeps excellence in DI sports as their primary objective.
Money talks. Like every program at every college/university, you need the deep pocket donors to make their wishes known. Yes a $1 Bn plus endowment lessens their influence. But, all admins care about real $$$CU77 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 9:45 pmThat's going to depend entirely on what the upper admin thinks, which will strongly influence who they hire.faircornell wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 9:27 pm I do hope that the next AD keeps excellence in DI sports as their primary objective.
NOW is the time to contact President Pollack ([email protected]) and Provost Kotlikoff ([email protected]) to express your opinion.
The issue with mens lacrosse is that it consists of a large number of small to medium sized donors. In aggregate, this is one of the top five donor sports at Cornell (without numbers in front of me, I think that football, crew and 150's football have larger budgets). Also, the lacrosse program has an endowment that's been raised over the past 25ish years that is significant. Thus, it will take many lacrosse voices to make an opinion heard. Generally, the personal financial involvement of the Cornell Trustees in donating to the indoor facility is a good sign of trustee support for athletics. That might help as well.oldbartman wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 9:59 pmMoney talks. Like every program at every college/university, you need the deep pocket donors to make their wishes known.

The Ivy League would have to go DIII for Cornell to go DIII IMO. Maybe I have blinders on, but I don't ever see Cornell leaving the Ivy League to go DIII on its own.faircornell wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 9:27 pm With regard to AD matters, there are two things that concern me going forward:
1. Lacrosse is one of the premier "assets" in the portfolio of Cornell sports. It has, too often, been a bit of a political "football" with respect to who controls the program, the AD or the coaches. Currently, we have alignment between the AD and the lacrosse program. I sincerely hope that the new person can recognize the virtuous cycle that we are on, and let the program develop without unneeded drama. I hope that they do not use lacrosse as a springboard for cementing their new position through micro management.
2. Within the Cornell community, there are opinions that athletics is an outmoded concept for a serious research university. During Covid, some voices were calling for DIII as a better place for Cornell sports. I do hope that the next AD keeps excellence in DI sports as their primary objective.
Will all due respect(cough,cough) there are many top level universities that compete effectively in all sports at the D1 level. If SUNY Cornell would like to go D3 given its bankrupt Athletic Association, well, that's their call. However, the "...athletics is an outmoded concept for a serious research university" comment is as laughable as the "mask required" for outdoor events that Cornell ascribed to on Tuesday...faircornell wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 9:27 pm With regard to AD matters, there are two things that concern me going forward:

1. Johnny Bajusz( best 3 point shooter we ever had and the only player Miller would give the green light.
2. Kenny Bantum (scary big man who was as tough as anybody.
3. Drew Palmer, Wolfgang Flores, Greg Gilda
4. And I believe Sam Givens or Josh Wexler was our other guard.
What teams those were and watching Miller's antics on the sideline which like his mentor, Robert Knight were sometimes way over the top.
One time, he grabbed Bajusz and threw him to the bench like he was a rag doll.
Great memories at Barton.
