It hasn't officially been announced yet but it appears Shawn has been extended retroactive to the end of his last contract.

That means he would be entering the second year of a three-year deal. There's obviously more to the story and we're trying to get at it, but he'd have two years to get something going.

I get the feeling that a lot of people have been cut some slack due to COVID and are now being given a chance to see what they can do in a post-COVID world.

You can argue that some of those people underperformed before COVID, what makes anyone think they'll do any better after?

You can also argue that it's unfair to judge performance during COVID unless your job was to deal with it directly.

And then more questions come up...

- Who do you replace him with?

- Who among those qualified wants the job?

- How much do you trust a Stony Brook selection committee (and there would be one) to make the right choice?

- How long would it take for the process to complete its course?

Another secret contract has been handed out.
How do you explain James Madisons success during covid and afterward? How do you explain the success of the other schools in the conference during and after covid? SB athletics is really milking covid as an excuse.
They need an AD who can grow the program and put fans back in the stands. Heilbron promised excitement around the program with football leading the way. They peaked in 2018, with kids recruited by Priore while Fiore was still there. The top administrators in the department have proven they cant do the job and one is probably protected by the state since he has been here most if not all of his career.
The expansion of the stadium in that other end was already funded by the state before Heilbron got there.
The university has done everything it can to chase fans and season ticket holders away so you all can try to explain and accept the decisions to extend the football coach and AD and keep putting your energy there quietly. Or you can be a loud voice of encouraging change and not accepting these decisions which have driven a once very good department and programs into the ground. The new indoor practice place is not attracting talented football recruits. Remember that promise?

Not excited at all about that... but somewhat expected tbh.

We need someone new. We need a Jim Fiore type guy without the sexual advances.

It still pains me till this day that the guy screwed up a program that he was leading so well because he couldn't keep his mouth and hands in check. Freaking shame.

How long are you going to keep blaming the old AD for SBU athletes failure? There comes a point in time where SBU needs to step up to the plate and admit they made a mistake by hiring SH. Shawn is a nice guy, granted, he is. But he sucks as an AD. And his priorities is obviously not to make SBU a better sports team. But more about transitioning sports into the new NCAA way of Wokeness. Prove me wrong

he had to go.  anyone here have a daughter???  would you send her to SB to play sports when the top of the dept is a predator?  work as an employee under him???

If SB has extended his contract they are pretty much saying that they are happy with how things are going under his watch and if that is true its pretty obvious that they may not care about putting fans in the stands. You all can defend it but youve lost at least five years under this situation. They are way behind on NIL too. I dont think theres a lot of passion about the program by the higher ups at the university. Its kind of just there.
