BREAKING: Flanders Possibly Joining Bagnoli at Columbia

The Portal 31 blog is reporting that Yale Defensive Coordinator Rick Flanders has resigned. 

Sources tell me he will likely now join Al Bagnoli here in New York to lead the Columbia staff. 

Flanders' coaching resume is exceedingly impressive, so much so that I really don't have time to list it all here. 

But I will say that this is a guy a lot of Yale players and alums have wanted to be their head coach in the past. And he worked under Bagnoli before at Penn in the 90s. 

Ladies and gentlemen, in the course of 24 hours Columbia has gone from having the least experienced and successful coaching staff in the Ivies to one of the most successful and experienced ever.

Instant credibility.
This should equate to at least 2/3wins this year. This is not pie in the sky.
Do we have any more openings for recruits?
I expect the readers here to start getting updated info on a regular basis.

Good job Jake!

A good sign
