Matt Danowski would certainly win the news cycle and create some hype for the program.

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. 
There are 29,413,039 corporations in America; but only one Chairman of the Board.

Danowski would definitely be a news worthy hire. My only argument against Matt would be that he has only ever coached at Duke. The recruiting profile and style of recruiting is very different. Duke has the luxury of hand picking incredible talent. A guy who I think really fits the mold more of what we need is possibly Anthony Gilardi from Towson. He has over 15 years of coaching experience and is a Baldwin, NY native. He has spent time at Ohio State, Navy and Towson. Towson is in a similar recruiting bracket as Stony Brook, and Towson’s success is predicated on player development. I feel like Gilardi may be the best fit for what we need. And this is not saying that Matt is not going to be a great coach and isn’t already one. His sample size is just smaller then some other potential candidates.

In my opinion, hiring Danowski would be mostly about grabbing some headlines and creating excitement in the short term. He’d get some  head coaching experience here while being fully intent on wanting the Duke job when his dad retires (which could be in just a few years). And yes, recruiting at Duke is a cake walk compared what it would take get a players here. We should look elsewhere.

I 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!

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.

Agreed!  The players need a coach that will excite them and this hire would do so.  If Danowski is hired, he can take the offense to the next level and be a major player in the AE.  Based on what we saw this past season, the pieces are there just need a coach that will put the puzzle together.  UMBC is a great example of what a good coaching staff can do with a decent team.

Also Danowski would need to win at Stony Brook if he's going to get the Duke job when when his father retires. If he, or anybody really, can come in and win enough to be considered for an ACC coaching job, then I'll be very happy. Remember, the last guy hired to take over an ACC program was a national runner up.

at 2:50-4:30 they discuss dino jr, wellner, sowell, kirwan, unterstein, ross, spallina.  didnt sound like they had any actual authority though.

Exactly! Why would you not want an excellent coach in Matt Danowski that builds his resume by turning our program around (even if only for a 5 year stint). Most likely he hires his staff that will have another great candidate to continue the success created by his hire. I think if he wants the job it would be foolish to pass on him.

Dano Sr. is the best coach in college lacrosse with a great connection to his players. His demeanor portrays nothing but professionalism and class. Matt has learned from his father and has been very successful in the OC role for Duke. He can recognize talent and be a very successful recruiter. Long Islanders will want to play for Matt Danowski.  I believe the top LI High School players eliminated Stony Brook as an option. Every single one of them heard the nightmares about the prior staff.

amplo possibly to navy: https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/breaking-marquette-s-joe-amplo-expected-to-be-named-navy-s-head-coach/54782

if so, marquette open.
So with the potential hire of Amplo at Navy, Wellner might be a real possibility now.  I could see Wellner going to Marquette also.  A well-established mid-major program like SBU but less work, in my opinion, to get Marquette back on the scene.

I have not personally spoke with Wellner but my LI connections who are CLOSE with him tell me he is pursuing opportunities else where. Personally DO NOT see him returning. But that is second hand.

I don't like saying this, but I would be very underwhelmed if Wellner were hired. An assistant coach on a staff that was just let go is not what I'm looking for. He may very well be a great coach, but I don't think the iron is exactly hot for him after this past season.
