After two years, Yale is shopping again for a head football coach.
John Pont, who came from Miami of Ohio in 1963 to coach Yale to a 12-5-1 record, has accepted the job of trying to lift Indiana University's football team out of its perennial slump.
Pont accepted a five-year contract as Indiana head coach for a reported $20,000 a year, plus side benefits amounting to about $5000. He succeeds Phil Dickens, who resigned Dec. 22.
The new Hoosler coach, who took four assistants with him from Miami to Yale, said he hoped to bring the bulk of his staff to Indiana. The only doubtful one, he said, was top assistant Carm Cozza, who wants the Yale head coach post.
In the last ten years of Big Ten Conference play, Indiana has posted a 10-43-2 mark.
"It's a challenge," said Pont.
