In response to Tiger69
Henderson is only 41 years old with 11 years as an assistant coach in the Big Ten plus his 6 years at Princeton. I always thought that he would take the next level job, if offered, after this year as he might be very marketable if the Tigers finished as a top 50 team which will not happen. Another factor could be if he believed that the Tigers would regress over the next few years in light of Harvard and Yale recruits.
It was somewhat striking that Earl took the Cornell job. Based on their relationship, I am sure that Earl touched base with Mitch to see if he planned on staying or leaving Princeton prior to accepting the Cornell job. My gut is that he stays at Princeton if he is offered reasonable compensation rather than making a lateral move for more money. If he is offered the next level as to competition with money, he may well decide to leave.
I would hope that Princeton tries to retain him. It is better to have consistency in the program. Coach H is not perfect but there is more downside than upside risk in losing him. I would not be surprised if he thinks that the Tigers will be competitive over the next few years.
