In addition to recruiting, breaking down film and preparing scouting reports, Korn handles a variety of administrative matters and oversees the off-season conditioning program.

Success is a good word to define Korn's four-year career at SIU from 1999-2004. At the time he graduated, Korn had the distinction of having been involved in more wins in his career at Southern than any other player in school history (92).
