Cornell coach Ken Austin has punted the Big Red after three years in favor of returning to the Canadian Football League as vice president of football operations, general manager and head football coach of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Austin, who won four Grey Cups in the CFL as a quarterback and as a coach, leaves Cornell after posting a 6-15 Ivy League record and an 11-19 overall mark. The Ithaca Journal has  a story.

Austin becomes the third three-year coach at Cornell since Jim Hofher's successful tenure. The Cornell coaching carousel:
