Seasons |
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
In the 2023 season, Cornell finished 3–7 overall and 2–5 in conference play. After the conclusion of the 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] Swanstrom later named Hatcher and Reeder as co-offensive coordinators in September 2024.[4] In the 2024 Ivy League Preseason Media Poll, as in 2023, Cornell was predicted to finish seventh of eight in the Ivy League, ahead of Columbia.[5]
Schedule
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.[6]
