CFB: Princeton fires football coach Roger Hughes


Associated Press

PRINCETON, N.J. — Roger Hughes has been fired as the football coach at Princeton after 10 seasons.

Gary Walters, the school's athletic director, announced the decision Sunday.

Hughes went 47-52 at Princeton's head coach, winning the 2006 Ivy League title and posting three winning seasons overall. His dismissal came one day after the Tigers beat Dartmouth 23-11 to conclude their season with a 4-6 record. Hughes had served as Dartmouth's offensive coordinator before taking the top job at Princeton in 2000.

Walters said he would soon meet with Hughes to determine what role the coach would have within the department during the remainder of his contract.
