You can do all the analysis you want but it comes down to the realization that the men’s basketball program has reached the upper limit of its potential under Geno. Only a coaching change will change the outcome going forward.

"i forget what the conference record is but i'm not sure they've dropped a CAA game, and maybe lost twice in the CAA (?), i seem to recall an aLBaNy loss somewhere in there early...'

They have not lost a single game in the CAA since joining and have not lost to an America East team since 2014, either in conference or out.
Pretty sure I read they have the longest in-conference winning streak (going back to the AEC) of any team in any D1 sport in the nation.

If Geno were to get COY then the AD would want to give him another three year extension…and we know how the AD’s extensions have worked out. Be careful what you wish for.

Here's a question ... if we get a top four seed in the CAAs, is Geno the Coach of the Year favorite? Does it come down to him, Rice (Monmouth) and Siddle (UNCW)?
I don’t see that happening. The team’s current RPI is 177 and NET at 210. I don’t know of a coach in any conference that deserves COY with those results unless they took over from a true bottom dweller.

Ask Gemini and it will tell you there are two flagships.

It’s disappointing that the lack of success of this program at a major university center persists year after year, no end in sight. Of course it goes back to the AD’s thoughtless extensions of underperforming head coaches.

Just saw this former SBU OC Jeff Behrman has been named HC at Bucknell
I expect CAA football will continue its decline while the Patriot League (Bucknell) will leave the CAA behind, especially with the addition of Villanova.

The point in the article about not having “New York” in the university’s name is spot on. I thought it was a huge   flub when I first heard about the renaming to Stony Brook University. No wonder it’s confused with Slippery Rock University 🙄 Huge mistake. Whoever thought it was a good idea must have been thinking of Rutgers…but of course Rutgers already had well-established branding for over a century. Hopefully the Chancellor comes to their senses and changes it to the University of NY @ Stony Brook.

When JMU and Delaware jumped it was only $5K now it’s $5M so the only way that I see is if an FBS Conference wants us bad enough to pay a portion of that for us and I don’t see that happening anytime soon

Really should have made the jump while the fee was still that low. Everyone saw the massive increase coming from a mile away.

Don't need me talking more about how the Heilbron era flopped, but everything James Madison does lights the fire in me all over again.
JMU had three things SB didn’t: a supportive student body, a winning tradition, and NOT being located on Long Island. FBS was never in the cards…Heilbron or not.

The multi-year contract extensions weren’t announced because neither one could be justified.

Yang was the first person to put Stony Brook on the map.

The CAA dropped to sixth in RPI among FCS conferences, right behind the Patriot League. Unfortunately SB isn’t showing it will be able to take advantage of the weak conference and compete for the championship.

If anyone else takes pleasure in Albany fan's pain, their message board has been a fun read https://bigpurplefans.ipbhost.com/forum/9-fall-sports-football-soccer-volleyball-cross-country-field-hockey/
From their board: “Eh. In this day and age with NIL, them chasing the $, they are now semi-professional athletes with zero loyalty so I have no loyalty to them. If they suck, they suck. I'd hazard to guess that 90% of them will NOT have a UAlbany degree.”
I get this. Except for the top P4 programs, it’s hard to get excited about lower-tier programs with all the churn.

Dempster was still pretty impressive. A lot of yards after contact. 4.1 yards per carry when the offense was only getting 1.8 per play is pretty great.

Dempster is awesome. That's obvious and SB is lucky that he stayed. I didn't think the o-line was bad at all, but the playcalled was trash and the QBs looked scared and lost. I would run, run and run some more. Use Dempster, Carson and Ragsdale and throw in some QB power with Zellous.
I don’t think many fans want a return to Priore’s “three runs and a punt” offense.
