The 1976 Cornell Big Red football team was an American football team that represented Cornell University in the Ivy League during the 1976 NCAA Division I football season. In its second and final season under head coach George Seifert, the Big Red compiled a 2–7 record and was outscored 177 to 109. Team captains were chosen on a game-by-game basis,[1] and home games were played on campus at Schoellkopf Field in Ithaca, New York.
Cornell's 2–5 conference record placed it in a four-way tie for fifth place, at the bottom of the Ivy League standings. The Big Red were outscored 131 to 75 by Ivy opponents.[2]
With an overall record of 3–15 (.167), Seifert was fired days after the final game,[3] a 31–13 win over Penn,[4] and returned to Stanford as the defensive backs coach under new head coach Bill Walsh.
