SBU Football Coaching Staff

Losing Coach Behrman is not a good thing; he really wanted to
use a balance offence & i was hopeful w the new line coach they
could establish this in 2016.
It's hard enough trying to change a program that is so heavy w
the run offence & now we half to look for a new OC that
hopefully can help this offence.
I believe a read a stat that SBU was almost last in past
efficiency & total passing yardage per game.

Change is not a bad thing, ddmd. I don't view this as a "bad
thing", I view it as a good thing. Our ground and pound style
isn't working in the CAA neither is running up the gut 60% of
the time. What SB needs to do now is find a OC who has strong
ties to the FBS and believes in a balance offense. Something SB
is NOT!!! We need a coach who has experience in the deep threat
as well as using our Tight Ends and Full Backs as receivers, on
occasion.. We also need a OC who has strong skills into
developing our Quarterbacks..
Finding the right OC will be a huge challenge for SB, but I have
a lot of faith in Mr. Heilbron that he will bring in the right
person for the job. I say Mr. Heilbron and not Coach P for a
reason. Remember, coach P job is still on the line if we don't
go back to our winning ways this season.. This could be the
driving force why coach Behram left for union college. But I
dont know that for a fact, just my opinion...

Finding a good OC going into spring ball that has experience at
this level will be tough; SBU is limited on finacial funds to
bring a talented coach in. I am hopeful that their insight is
not to try to keep running the same offense.
This will not work in the CAA

The reason SBU was able to get a verbal commit from QB Ben
Holmes was that they planned to change the offense to utilize
his talents and as of now he hasn't officially signed his LOI so
getting a new OC has recruiting implications
I'm not surprised that Behrman left because I'm sure he has
always wanted to be a head coach so now if he does well at a
DIII Program better jobs will come his way

You're correct Campi47, short term but for the long haul, it's a
good thing.I know you and some others on this Forum disagree
with me but, I think coach P needs to go as well, again, I'm not
talking about winning games Tomorrow I'm talking about the long
term success of this program. With Coach P still at the driver's
seat, SB won't improve on Offenses regardless who's the O coach
because of coach P narcissistic, stubborn, Napoleon way of play
calling.. I call a spade a spade, just how I see things!!!!!!!

I never said I agree with Coach P's philosophy but as long as
his bosses think he's doing the job they won't replace him and
those are the only ones who can do that so if they somehow make
the FCS playoffs in 2016 he will remain

There was something I wanted to say regarding the whole program
in general and that is that the Media (Newsday) does not do a
good job of covering LI Sports as there are 4 College Football
Teams that play Football SBU, LIU Post, Nassau CC and Merchant
Marine so none of the programs are never really put under the
microscope to see how they are performing such as Coaching,
talent, schedule, etc. I bet that most people on the island
don't even know who are the top high school players are coming
out every year. If you go to the Star ledger in NJ and there is
also a website what they put up about there sports whether it be
HS or College it's like night and day here. I think if more was
put out there then it would be better for us as fans.
I don't even know what our attendance was for the football
season and how did that compare with other CAA Teams did we
reach our goals or did we flop.
Last week was the Football Convention and they did reach out to
Coaches around the Country about the OC Job so they must have
known that our guy was leaving

You are 100% correct campi47.. Greg Logan works for Newsday and
is one of the bigger journalist on long island who covers local
sports. Just yesterday I sent him a tweet telling him to come
back to Stony Brook and start covering our sports programs.. If
St John's happens to be having a Basketball game the same day as
SB, he covers them never us. On occasions you will see him on
the floor reporting on our Basketball and up in the box for
Football. Tom Rock is the other Journalist for Newsday and he
will on occasion cover SB, but yeah, we need more media exposure
on L. I.
News 12 will do a 15 second clip of a SB game but they rather
spend most of the time with High School sports.. I really dont
know what to do or say about increasing Media exposure for SB..
My guess is it all comes down to Dollars and Cents!!!!!!

Behrman was a finalist for the Central Conn HC opening last
year. so this is not the first time that he has been pursuing a
HC position. probably the best for him to get out now on his
own terms. If P is fired after next season, the whole coaching
staff would be in jeopardy. and it might be hard to find a good
position on short notice.
