now that the news is fully confirmed- my first question is- who is available that would even be interested?  then, how much $ do we have?  how much does the camp circuit bring in (BIG question on LI)?

the admin likes to go high-profile for these types of jobs.  they sometimes avoid assistants, different divisions, etc.  Just my observation based on history.

with NO inside information, here are some names to chat about (NOTE- i went overly-broad), and in no order:


pietramala: seat is warm at the Hop, local LI guy, high profile, good coach

spallina: great success as the women's coach, well liked; different sport

cassese: some success at lehigh, local guy, ex asst under tiffany, well liked, high profile; might be in the mix for navy/harvard

bates: had some good years at princeton, minor disciplinary issue; might be a nice fit

pressler: has the tools; high profile, loyal to bryant after the duke fiasco

wellner: assoc/interim HC at navy, likes SB, coached with sowell, getting attention this month; senior enough?


recently let go and available:

wojcik: didnt do much at harvard but recruited well (a key for us)

sowell: analysis is obvious; former coach under different AD, might not be interested

seremet: won't happen, but former asst coach late 90s


possible young coaches to pry away:

torpey: can't argue with his success at HPU, new program

polley: has a good setup at BU and nice wins against good teams, new program

poli: done much with little at QU, has interim tag

callahan: seat could be hot at dartmouth, alum, great guy, loves SB


longshots that would likely never consider it, but i offer the following:

warne: local guy, probably knows nagle well, doing well at GT

brecht: a nice fit, local guy, but was snubbed in 2012 and took RU, which is better positioned now in the B1G

amplo: a decade ago accepted the job and then it left the same week; done well at marquette, new program

meade: longtime navy coach, stalling at furman, local LI guy

cannella: entrenched at umass, former SB assistant, LI guy


other longshots from outside D1:

rogers: knows CNY, at cuse, longtime cortland coach (SUNY pension?)

coon: knows NY, success at RIT, which faces similar issues to SB

peluso: LI guy, worked at naz, also RIT and now "local" at stevens tech, similarities to SB

jez: was interested back in 2012, did well at CW Post & army; both similar to SB

chamberlain: close to the program, alum, team 91 network, LI guys; success at FarmState


assistants to consider:

taylor (current vol & alum)
camposa (molloy, navy, rutgers; sowell guy)
compitello (lehigh, yale, SHU, bryant)
wilson (lehigh, brown, rutgers)

Another long shot, but I'd love to bring Matt Danowski back to Long Island.

AD has to make a statement with new hire so will probably go with a hot assistant coach.   Young and will have the potential to build the program back to the standards we are used to seeing.

Pat March, Princeton OC

Need a young offensive minded coach. Need to connect to players and boost their confidence. We can get to next level when we score 15 goals a game

Do not like seeing anyone lose their job but unfortunately it is a results business. Staff and team had a great regular season but program needed to make the next step and win the conference playoffs.  Wish the whole staff great success in their future.

Important next few weeks for the AD, He needs to choose wisely.

Another school (though probably not DI level) will hire him just based on having been recently selected as conference coach of the year, even though that achievement doesn't mean much in a weak conference like the AEC.

As we begin the search for our next head men's lacrosse coach, I want to express my gratitude to Jim Nagle for his eight years of dedicated service to Stony Brook.
 
I'm not going to make any other comments regarding the search but we will identify the right individual to lead our program forward. Our expectation is to be elite in both men's and women's lacrosse and, given the significance of the sport on Long Island, I have extremely high standards for both programs.

[/quote]

Used to seeing? Remember it's been nine years since we came within one goal of the Final Four. That's the main reason Nagle is out.

We learned back then that we had what it took to compete with the big boys. But we never got back to that level. The next coach needs to keep that in mind. If he's successful, we may have the same problem the women have being held back a bit by a weak conference. But that's a problem you live with unless you upgrade to multi-bid.

characteristics wish list (some of which the current staff satisfies):

-a local LI guy that knows the HS circuit, speaks the language, has the relationships
-knowledge of the non-varsity circuit (clubs, camps, summer, travel)
-ability to improve the SOS (relationships again)
-recruiting (which is somewhat of a marketing job)
-assistants that can break down film and adjust (pre-game prep, halftime, etc)
-alumni outreach
-fundraising
-promotion (convention, social media, local news)
-charisma/leadership


Of course im asking for everything (which doesn’t exist).  SB can be a hard sell, even to LIers.  So we need someone that can get back to the next level.  I’d like to see pipelines to the schools that traditionally have provided great student athletes for SB- the macarthurs, islips, sachems, SWRs, etc.

podcast (0:30 to 21:30) https://www.collegecrosse.com/2019/5/17/18628759/college-crossecast-ep-125-2019-ncaa-lacrosse-tournament-quarterfinals-preview-podcast

discusses recruiting difficulties (keeping LI on LI).  comparison to towson, UMBC, SJU, and hofstra.  audio quality terrible.  debate on how good the job is.  CWP is going D1 soon.  AE is wide open.  program has underachieved.  discussed the timing, given the semifinal exits.  only one real good AE program.  SB not even the 2nd best team.  regressed since 2012, lost a lot of ground.  why has ua outpaced SB.  no reason SB can't be like ua.  spallina discussion, retains LI talent.  doesnt look good for wlax coach to take the mlax job.  why can't mlax do as well as wlax.  mentioned wellner, sowell, tierney, kirwan, desko, danowski, basti, chanenchuk, pietramala, wray, fisher.  SB never was close the NCAAs.  they didnt build on the 2010 success.
