American college football season
The 2024 Cornell Big Red football team will represent Cornell University as a member of the Ivy League during the 2024 NCAA Division I FCS football season . The team will be led by first-year head coach Dan Swanstrom and will play its home games at Schoellkopf Field in Ithaca, New York .
Preseason [ edit ]
After the conclusion of the 2023 season , Cornell University's athletics director, Nicki Moore , announced that ten-year head coach David Archer would not return for the 2024 season. Defensive coordinator Jared Backus assumed duties as interim head coach, with immediate effect. At Cornell, Archer compiled a record of 29–71, and the team was not able to record a winning season during that span, a streak existing since the 2006 season .[1] On December 7, 2023, Cornell University Athletics announced the hiring of Dan Swanstrom as head coach to succeed Archer.[2]
In January 2024, Swanstrom announced five additions to the coaching staff: Jeff Dittman (of Rensselaer Polytechnic ) as special teams coordinator and defensive assistant coach, Eric Franklin (of Penn) as defensive backs and cornerbacks coach and passing game coordinator, Mike Hatcher (of Ithaca College , where he served as an assistant to Swanstrom), Sean Reeder (of Penn) as offensive line coach, and Terry Ursin (of Jesuit High School of New Orleans ) as running backs coach.[3]
Schedule [ edit ]
The Cornell Big Red's 2024 football schedule consists of five away and five home games. Cornell will host Ivy League opponents Yale , Harvard , Penn , and Dartmouth , and will travel to Brown , Princeton , and Columbia . Cornell's non-conference opponents will be rival Colgate of the Patriot League , Albany of the Coastal Athletic Association Football Conference , and Bucknell , also of the Patriot League. Homecoming will coincide with the Big Red's home opener against Yale on September 28.[4] [5]
In 2023, Cornell finished 3–7 overall and 2–5 in conference play.
