Losing by 21 is being thumped anyway you cut it. Excuses.Lehigh4Life wrote: ↑Wed Dec 21, 2022 7:26 am Have to argue that HC got thumped in playoffs. They had the #1 team in FCS tied late in the 3rd quarter, after missing two FG. Was a one score game until 5 mins left or so. South Dakota scored with under a minute to make it 42-21 when they could have/should have just knelt on it. HC was a nationally ranked FCS team this year.
Did get to watch Yale a little on offense this year. 1600 yards passing for the Ivy League Player of the Year is not a great offense, especially when our top passer in PL was over 4k yards and the next two threw for over 2k. If you look hard at what Yale does on O, it's a lot more QB run than we are used to.
Will be interesting to see. I wouldn't expect much more than 3-8 or 4-7 in first year. OOC schedule makes it hard to have winning seasons. Will take some time to turn ship.

Re: Kevin Cahil
1.) Didn't we sign our last coach with former head coach experience?
2.) Apparently the only current head coaches who'd please some of you are candidates only interested in the kind of money Pete Lembo went for by leaving us.
3.) If i'm his agent, I'd give back the offer, with cynics that can't even spell his name right

Re: Kevin Cahil
Lehigh always was a full first class University.
The allegation that Engineering now has to share the stage with the other colleges is only appropriate because Lehigh has greatly diminished the Engineering College reputation in their zeal to upgrade the Arts & Crafts college.
We are no longer recognized as a supreme engineering school as kids look to Bucknell instead. We have lost our “brand” to become another Ivy light eastern school.

Well we have an engineer in charge now, so all will get better I'm sure.....
I found this old B&W article informative...

Re: Kevin Cahil
I don’t get it. What do you allege the administration has done to water down the reputation of the college of engineering other than to admit women? Women now make up about 45% of the student body and, as we know, there are very few women, nationally, that go into engineering. So, given that fact, what choice did the administration have? They needed to allocate resources to arts and science and business to accommodate the women.

Re: Kevin Cahil
Meanwhile back at the football team......
Isn't the quality of assistant coaches a real key to success? It's a little early, but have we heard any rumblings on staff selections?

Two things stand out to me:
1) As LU engineer said, "We are no longer recognized as a supreme engineering school as kids look to Bucknell instead." Luckily, Lehigh has other (geographical, size) advantages Bucknell does not.
2) To me. Lehigh missed out on the tech wave, unlike places like Carnegie Mellon and MIT. While Lehigh has some outstanding integrated business/arts/engineering programs, its computer science department is not ELITE. To me, we should aspire to be as elite as CMU and MIT are in computer science and engineering -- at least CMU has a great arts school, too.
I'd love to see the percentage of top athletes who study engineering compared to the 1970s or 1980s.

Re: Kevin Cahil
FWIW, times have changed: The percentage of women employed in engineering has gone from 2% in 1970 to 14% in 2021 -- an increase that is nothing to sneeze at. Almost half of STEM employees in biology now are women. Details below. Lehigh (and other institutions) does a decent job, I think, of welcoming female STEM students, including engineers, but it can always do better.Lehigh74 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 23, 2022 10:42 am I don’t get it.

Re: Kevin Cahil
Just because the University has allocated more funds to build up the A&S, Business, and Health Science schools does not mean it has to be a zero sum game. 50-80 years ago Lehigh was a small regional school and is now recognized as a leading national university. Moreover the metrics have changed in measuring the strengths of colleges.
