Following Peter Milliman's departure for Johns Hopkins, which was officially announced today, Cornell wasted little time in solidifying who will man the sideline next season.
Connor Buczek, a current Cornell assistant, will be named the team's interim head coach, as reported by John Johnson II of Spectrum News - CNY.

Because of Cornell's current hiring freeze, the university is unable to conduct a national search for Milliman's successor. Johnson II reports, however, that Buczek will be in consideration for the full-time position.
Cornell will conduct a national search following their hiring freeze but according to a source, Buczek WILL be a candidate for the full time gig during the search. The coaching search won’t begin until 2021 @SPECNewsCNY
