Wellner 'disappointed' about missing out on Navy lacrosse job

Wellner 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.
