this would be interesting: http://fanlax.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=1196&start=120#p52665
The Spallina talk has been going on for about 2 years now.  It's his job if he wants it.  Might be tough for him to leave such a good situation with the ladies team but he has a great coaching staff that can take right over.  Hillier to HC, Kylie to OC and Miceli to DC.  Spallina would have no problem filling out a staff if he chooses to make the move.  I would be all for it if he does.  He's a proven recruiter and basically knows every travel kid on the east coast through Team 91.

I think Spallina will stay put. His entire collegiate coaching career has been in the women’s game. He’s turned this program  into a consistent winner and national power in a relatively short period of time but they  still haven't broken through into championship weekend. Unfinished business.  Plus, he is very well compensated. It would probably take a significant pay raise to walk away from everything he has going with the women’s program.

just one thought- if they did go spallina, it's low risk for him.  doesnt even need to budge offices or houses; if it all blows up, his reputation is so strong that he could get another wlax job virtually anywhere that's open.  in fact, if that happens, he could even be right back at SB.

Pure speculation but the he timing of this makes me think Spallina will take over. The women's team gets eliminated on Sunday. Heilbron talks to Spallina and Spallina says he's interested on monday. Tuesday Nagle is out. If they were going to fire Nagle all along, why wait two weeks after their season ended?

My other thought is can Spallina coach men's college lacrosse and the MLL at the same time? I could see that being a conflict of interest.

This is all pure speculation. I don't know anything.

Having played for SB during Nagle's tenure and seeing how Spallina runs the women's program, I have no doubt in my mind he would turn the mens program around quickly.  The guy can coach and he can DEFINITELY recruit.

Spalinna doesn’t coach the Lizards anymore, he’s just the GM now.  Also, he always put SB WLax first if there was a conflict and the Lizards were always fine with it.  Here’s to hoping he wants the job.

id have to think he's at least in the conversation.

also keep in mind with other "openings", like navy, harvard, quinnipiac, holy cross- i think these are jobs that somewhat attract a similar level coach.  meaning right now there's more openings than usual and so the competition & timing doesnt help.  hope they get the right fit that understands SB and it's difficulties.

Nagel is gone, that's the most important thing.  A head coach with experience would be great. Sowell should be given a hard look. If not there are dozens of Long Island raised assistant coaches out in the college ranks who would love the job. Let the search begin.

Do you think Sowell will come back?  My thinking is " been there, done that and wore the tee shirt." Would love to see him back on the sidelines but not sure if the offer would be good enough to come back.

If he liked LI, if he liked SB, and they are giving him the +200k salary, why not. And if he didn't like LI or SB, maybe the $200k will do it.

I like Sowell but agree with the been there done that statement.  If it's not Spalinna I would love to see them take a long hard look at some of the top assistants from top teams.  An assistant with a LI background from a winning program would be great.  I see Sowell as more of a fall back option as opposed to a leading candidate.
