Source: Fast-rising Division III head coach to take over at Columbia (Columbia Football)

Union College head coach Jon Poppe is expected to take the same position at Columbia, sources told FootballScoop on Friday.

Poppe recently completed his first season at Union, a Division III school in Schenectady, N.Y. He led the Garnet Chargers to a 10-2 mark, a 5-1 record in the Liberty League, and a second-round appearance in the D3 playoffs.

Poppe coached previously at Columbia under 9-time Ivy League champion Al Bagnoli. He also spent nine seasons at Harvard, coaching defensive backs and special teams.

Columbia went 3-7 in 2023. Mark Fabish coached the Lions on an interim basis this fall but was not retained on a full-time basis.

As always, stay tuned to The Scoop for the latest.
