I heard that one before! Maybe he’ll end up at Cornell.
Seriously, though, Bagnoli is one of the all-time greats.

A great football man. Greatest Penn football coach in the Ivy era, and there have been some good ones. Performed a near-miracle at Columbia. Enjoy your retirement!

Wen Al took over the football program it was basically defunct. By the time the season opened it was already competitive. He has been a coaching genius. One of his great skills was his ability to communicate with players, coaches, administrators and finally interested alumni. Once I got to know him a little I would periodically email him and receive answers within a day. His letters to the alumni base of supporters came weekly. He cared about what we thought about the program. Here’s to Mark Fabish, a local boy with a chance to win this job on a permanent basis. Not to draw invidious comparisons but look at the dismal job that Engles has done, from his awful ghost written few emails a year to his on the court lack of any success.
