Corrie served as RMU's Director of Athletics for six years from 1994 to 2000, helping oversee the inaugural football season in 1994 and the addition of women's rowing as the 17th intercollegiate athletics program in 1997. During his tenure, Corrie was responsible for the hiring of Jim Boone (men's basketball), Kim Basick (women's basketball), Bill Hodge (track & field), Tim Horsmon (volleyball) and Eric Ratchford (tennis) as head coaches, with Hodge earning induction into the RMU Athletic Hall of Fame in October of 2010. In Corrie's six seasons as director of athletics, Robert Morris claimed a total of 10 Northeast Conference regular-season championships and 10 NEC Tournament championships in various sports. Included in that span are RMU's only NEC Tournament title in women's tennis (1996) and a pair in men's golf (1995, 1996). In addition, Robert Morris earned the 1999 I-AA mid-major national title in football according to Don Hansen's National Weekly Football Gazette and the Margarett McNiff Trophy in women's rowing at the prestigious Dad Vail Regatta (2000). Corrie joins former RMU athletic directors Richard Lesnak (1998) and Dr. Susan Hofacre (2005) to be enshrined in the RMU Athletic Hall of Fame.
