I think he interviewed with Rutgers quite some time ago and I
dont think thats the reason for his dismissal.. I think we
really need to look at the bright side and the notion, sometimes
Out with the old and in with the new is a good thing.......
There's a strong possibility the Doc will find a very good AD
with new ideas and innovative mind and someone who wants to
continue growing the SB brand... Time will tell but I have faith
with DR. Stanley turning something bad into something good !!!!

Does this make any of you doubt Dr. Stanleys support for
athletics? Just curious to see what ya think about that...
(and I say that because... It was truly Shirley S. Kenny that
got us to where we are at, not Dr. Stanley. Kenny was a huge
believer of Athletics, driving scholarship football, hiring
Fiore, and making the connections and big moves to get Stony
Brook past the Division I transition hurdles. She retired a
couple of years ago, but she is arguably the president that has
had the largest impact in Stony Brook's image and growth)
Fiore commented that he administration wanted to head in a
different direction. this is all making question Stanley's
backing of SBU athletics...

Hopefully we get through this and all our programs continue to
flourish. We have gained a lot of ground during his tenure
and I would hate to see us go backward now. Whatever the
reason good luck to him .

I clearly have no insight into the situation that caused this
debacle with Fiore. However, I find no reason whatsoever to
doubt Dr. Stanley's support for the SBU athletic programs. He
is almost always at the games (especially basketball), as his
his wife as well. I've spoken with him on a number of
occasions, and he's left me with the distinct impression that he
especially poud of the teams, coaches, staffs, etc. If
anything, I think the swift action he took in this case
(assuming the likely serious nature of whatever Fiore's
infraction was) protects the programs from further devastating
damage by not allowing them to get mired in cover-up
scenarios--a la Penn State and Rutgers. And let's not forget,
his first mission is the overall health and reputation of the
University, without which the athletic programs cannot flourish.

I have to believe Dr. Stanley is behind all our programs 100%.
His presence at games home and away- he was at the Army Game
last year with his son and he makes just about every home
basketball game . Given his schedule that is a great show of
support. Hopefully our new AD has enough gusto to maybe take
us to the next level someday. These things happen and we have
to move on and keep our fingers crossed.

I think ya are right. He does show a lot of support every day. I
do see him present at the games and for a busy man like him that
says a lot. I hope he finds a great AD that builds upon Jim
Fiore's tenue. As much as it sucks, the department has to move
on forward and it WILL!
Start the search immediately and get an enthusiastic and
energetic AD that makes things happen. Stony Brook has all the
tools to be successful and I think any potential AD can quickly
realize that this a good place to start or continue a career.
Its just a matter of time and the right person to make things
click. A growing University with a impressive reputation, 100k
plus alumni community, and the top public U in New York... with
a brand new Arena on the wa and renovate facilities throughout.
I'm sure we can use that to get a great guy.
Lets go Stony Brook U! Lets go Seawolves!
