       Can't imagine a sitting and highly successful FCS head coach
       like Bob Chesney would leave the superb facilities and strong
       football program at HC and come to Stony Brook. Not saying our
       facilities are bad but I think a few commenters are out of touch
       with Holy Cross the last five years or so. For one thing,
       they've beaten common opponent Fordham six consecutive years,
       they recruit at the highest FCS level, their stadium seats
       23,000, and their indoor practice facility is FBS level.
       I really can't see a highly successful and sitting FCS head
       coach heading to Stony Brook.
       (As an aside I've wondered if Sluka was recruited out of
       Kellenberg by Stony Brook or what the story was with that one
       vis a vis Stony Brook.)

       sbufan- yep.  newsday was bad 25 years ago; it's seemingly worse
       now.  check the statesman generally, they do a really great job!

       Genuinely quite impressed by the sports journalism coming out of
       the statesman right now. Hope they stay for graduate degrees

       -He's not...PA I believe, but all NCAA coaching jobs have been
       within an hour and a half of each other, including 2 in same
       town (Salve Regina-->Assumption-->HC). He's not coming to LI

       The Statesman has been on a roll these last few years. If it
       weren't for them we wouldn't have known about Chuck's secret
       extension. Also thought the article interviewing students about
       campus sports culture was really great. Not surprised that
       Chuck's been getting snippy with them since they're the only
       ones actually looking into things and not just doing Newsday's
       surface level recaps.

       Bobby Chesney is obviously a top coaching prospect, but all
       signs are pointing to him making the jump to FBS.  His Next job
       is at least Group of 5.

       Names that I keep on hearing are some FCS coordinators, some FBS
       Position guys.  The one name that keeps getting thrown out there
       is Charles Eger from the XFL. He is getting a lot of support
       from some very big names like Rod Woodson and Boomer Esiason

       I think we may end up with a PAL at the end of the day, because
       the word is out how bad this program is ran from the AD and the
       lack of student involvement and the lack of anything from the
       President herself. I don't think any Coach wants to takes the
       2nd worst scoring team in the FCS.

       Fact!! I have been saying this for years now. This school could
       care less about sports. The President made that very clear. SBU
       should just drop down to D3, and focus all their attention and
       resources on academics. Stop wasting taxpayer's money on
       high-payed coaches, all for the sake of taking care of the good
       old boys.

       Whoever is hired to take over the SBU Program will be starting
       from scratch and it sounds like this could take into late
       December or longer and who knows how many players he will be
       left with. Before he can even recruit a staff will have to be
       put together so the 2024 season might not be any better than
       2023.
       My thoughts we are going to have to be patient with the new
       coach
