IN BRIEF : Line Coach Takes Over at Cornell : IN BRIEF
ITHACA, N.Y. —
One day after the resignation of head football Coach Maxie Baughan, Cornell named Jack Fouts, its offensive line coach, to take over the program.
Baughan’s resignation came amid published reports that he was romantically involved with the wife of his top aide.
“I definitely feel we can continue the momentum that has been generated in the past,” Fouts said Wednesday. The Big Red won a share of its first Ivy League title since 1971 under Baughan last year.
Fouts has coached at Cornell since 1984. He compiled a 77-93-9 record in 20 years as head coach at Ohio Wesleyan University, leading the school to two Ohio Athletic Conference championships and winning NCAA College Division Coach of the Year in 1967.
