Worst Coach in the country. ZERO winning seasons in 10 years. Cornell obviously hates football and wants to destroy it on the largest level. Why else would you give a guy who keeps breaking your car the keys? Yep, this is a pee-wee football dad coaching in Division 1. He should be sandwich-maker manager at Subway, but he would eat more sandwiches than he makes. Arrogant moron with crap for brains. That's Dave Archer

David Archer had been an assistant at a div-IIIcollege, and a graduate assistant at Cornell. How do you go from that position to Head Coach? Only at an Ivy! How do you keep that job for as long as he has? What an embarrassment for this once great program.

Coach archer is genuine! His passion for the game is infectious. Being on of the youngest coaches in college football history uniquely positions him to connect with his players. He is also a Cornell alum so he understands the academic pressures of Cornell.

As such a young coach who played at Cornell University himself not too long ago he really understands the players. He is always willing to help the players to be there best and shows an amazing love and dedication to this program that I find unique. I am extremely excited to be apart of this program with Coach Archer leading the way.
