Coach P
By: Campi47 Date: August 26, 2016, 9:51 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I don't like starting rumors but last week while I was at the
last SBU Scrimmage I was talking to a couple of people very
close to the program that Coach P and the University are very
close to a new 5 year contract now I don't know if it's based on
any particular must mile storms but the people that told me this
said the announcement will come when the time is right

UGHHHHHH!! If this this the case then Heilbron was full of shi$
when he said Football was his priority sport..
I said it before and I'll say it again. If this University wants
to succeed in the CAA and have plans to move up to the FBS some
day, they need a new head football coach..I dont think coach P
has what it takes to take this organization to the next level..
A new 5 year contract for coach P is this kiss of death for
Football. I know all of his supporters are going to blast me
about this but who cares. I speak the truth and I think many on
this board agrees with me..

I think I've had coach P's back in the past, but I hope this
isn't the case. Honestly if we don't make the playoffs this
season (which I think we absolutely can do), coach P needs to
go.

I like Coach Priore but no way I'd extend him right now. If he
has a good year this year, then you have my blessing by all
means. However, if he can't put together a competent offense 4
years into CAA play you have to ask questions about his ability
to coach when not given a massive talent advantage (e.g. back in
the Big South days).
The problem is that its not easy coaching in the Northeast. He's
done pretty well but this should be a make or break year as far
as I'm concerned for him.

Lets get to 8-3 this year and the play offs before we reward
him with a new contract .

Seawolf97.. I love your optimism, but I believe we will finish
3-8. This year schedule is probably the toughest schedule SB has
ever had .If Priore wins 5 games this season then it will be
considered a winning season for him. But I dont think thats
going to be the case!

giving him a contract extension before the season wraps up this
year would be a huge mistake. I have to say though, he was
probably given a ultimatum by the AD to release control over the
offensive coaching, hence his hiring of a true O coordinator and
an O line coach. remember, P started out as an O line guy. so
he was handling a lot of details on O line and O coordinator
stuff as well as being the HC. it was too much, and he is a
control freak anyways, so I am sure the AD laid it on the line
and told him to bring in support staff. but what a joke to
extend his contract without first seeing how the team performs
this season.

There were a few bonehead calls last night . Going for two
points instead of a kick , that trick play on a rush to the
line didn't fool anyone and running with only a minute left and
a 4 pint lead almost cost us the game with a fumble. I agree
if we do well this season maybe a contract extension of three
years is ok but not five .

I too thought P got too cute going for two points on the TD.
seemed like whether your are up by 5 or 6 is not much
difference, so go for the sure thing and get a five point lead.
that way, if they score a TD, they are only up by two. but then
again, our shitty kicking game screwed us over early in the
game. why cant we get a legit kicker?

Going for 2 was an absolute no brainer. We were up by 4 late in
q4. An EP would have only give us 5. The difference betweeen 4 &
5 at that point in game was meaningless. NDU would still need a
TD for the win. But, if we got to 6 then NDU needed TD AND EP
for the win. As for the Bedell fumble late in game, we needed a
first down to be able to ice the clock. Taking knee at that
point would have required us to punt on 4th down.
I get that there are folks here who don't like coach P. But
please at least be fair with the criticism.
Let's enjoy the win guys. Sure there are areas for improvement,
but that was a must win game for us given our next two opponents
and the team found a way to win late in game. That is a
refreshing change over past two seasons.
