Princeton, Yale, Columbia Football News

Although Dartmouth spring football is still about two weeks away from starting, several other schools have already kicked off drills. Among them is Princeton, where old friend Roger Hughes (the former Big Green offensive coordinator) has his work cut out for him in 2006 according to a story in the Trenton Times. Craig Haley writes:

"Princeton football coach Roger Hughes has his TV tuned to The Game Show Network, searching for reruns of "What's My Line?"

He faces such a predicament this offseason after the Tigers graduated all of their starters on the offensive line plus All-Ivy League tight end Jon Dekker."

Staff changes at Yale have a columnist for the student daily taking a bit of a shot at coach Jack Siedlecki:

One must wonder if the earth is falling out from under Coach Sid. In almost any other football organization, the head coach is held accountable and his staff suffers the consequences of that accountability. Is Yale moving in the wrong direction? Are the departures of two of three coordinators indicative of something inherently backward in the program? I would say so.

At Columbia, new coach Norries Wilson explains how he went about building his coaching staff in this Spectator article.
