Wellner 'disappointed' about missing out on Navy lacrosse jobWellner told Gladchuk from the outset he was interested in replacing Sowell as head coach and set about proving his capabilities while holding the interim tag.“I think my interview probably started the Friday after Coach Sowell was let go and concluded on Monday afternoon prior to when Coach Amplo was offered the job. It was an ongoing interview and Chet and I spent a lot of time together,” Wellner said.“I’m certainly appreciative of the opportunity Chet gave me and the chance to show him and the Naval Academy Athletic Association staff that I was the right man for the job,” Wellner added.Wellner felt all along he had a legitimate shot at becoming the head coach and naturally believed he was the best choice. The 41-year-old Long Island native was granted a formal interview by Gladchuk and did not hide his disappointment about being passed over.“Yes, I am disappointed. Absolutely I’m disappointed, but that’s how these things go. You either win them or you lose them,” he said.“We didn’t get into that and I’m not sure what Coach Amplo’s future plans are at all,” Wellner said. “I’m going to pursue some head coaching opportunities in the near term and I’m sure we’ll circle back at some point.”Wellner is believed to be a leading candidate for the vacancy at Stony Brook, which is where he first began working for Sowell. Stony Brook went 32-14 overall and 15-1 in the America East Conference during the three seasons Wellner was on staff.
if true- that turns the discussion to what happens when dino sr. hangs up the cleats. which could be the case in the next 5-10 years.which then turns discussion to: chemotti, cassese, dino jr., amplo, perhaps even deluca.
Stony BrookStony Brook is taking their time with their search and has a little ways to go.Following up from last week, Duke assistant Matt Danowski is certainly a name in the hunt for the Seawolves head coaching job. So is Navy assistant Ryan Wellner, who sounds like would be retained at Navy if he wants, and now Robert Morris head coach Drew McMinn as well.Some names that have been mentioned as other possible candidates have been Towson assistant Anthony Gilardi, who was a finalist for Fairfield, North Carolina assistant Kevin Unterstein, and Rutgers assistant Dan Cocchi.

When it comes to sports SB is a place to grow, get better and move out to bigger schools. Thats great for the coaches, bad for the university. If stony brook continues hiring 2nd rate, unproven and the unknown assistant to the assistant coaches, this school will never be taken seriously and they will always lose out to bigger schools when it comes to recruiting..
Quote from: Sblax808 on June 04, 2019, 04:50:07 pmI have also heard from folks pretty close to the program that Matt Danowski is a top target. He has deep LI roots and significant coaching experience under his dad who is probably a top 5 lacrosse coach all time. What more can you ask for? That would be a home run imo.I very strongly agree. Danowski is exactly the kind of coach the players need and would love to play for!! If he leaves in 5 years to take the Duke head coach position so be it. What is the shelf life for a D1 coach these days anyway. We are not getting a great coach/ longtime coach (lifer) at Stony Brook. Lets be realistic folks this is Stony Brook not Maryland and AE is not the Big 10. We need help right now!Buzzshooter, right on!Job one for new head coach is to make sure Austin Deskowitz the emerging #1 FOGO stays with the team. Especially with Nolan Enneguess in the portal.

To the uninitiated (uh, me), this looks like a very good choice.
