There’s a difference between criticism and personal
vendetta. We all criticize Coach P now and then.. when he makes
head scratching calls. All coaches do that. But 9-2 record
doesn’t lie. CAA is a tough and respected conference...
which we just saw in the selection of 4 CAA teams in the
playoffs. Ok one win can be lucky.. may be two. Going 7-1 in CAA
conference games deserves applause. That’s not luck. Some
of you want SB to lose just so that we can fire coach smh.
Instead of enjoying this moment, arguing about bracket like
normal fans, discussing about how not to screw up and take
Lehigh game light.. like normal fans, you find every opportunity
to diss the coaching staff. We are ranked 10. But you rather be
happy if we went 1-7 in CAA and fired our coach.

Some fans are simply tired of mediocre results and
unentertaining style of play for a number of years, when more is
expected at university like SB.

Yeah. at that point I'm not sure if that's a real follower of
this team or not. When you want your team to fail to change a
coach then doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of being a
loyal follower of this team. We are currently seeing the best
days of our program. 9-2 is a reason to be happy and proud to be
a fan of Seawolves FB.

I would understand that behavior if we were a school that is
used to winning and being on the top. But we are not. We just
landed at the CAA 4 years ago and have no previously established
winning culture other than a couple of years in the Big South.
So why the crazy expectations? I know Stony Brook University is
a great University academically. But in sports we are still
infants. We have a long way to go to develop and build a long
lasting national brand (who knows if we will even make it to
that level...) . To have the unrealistic expectations of our
program is only going to set you up for disappointment.

There's always going to be an adjustment period moving from Big
South to CAA. Whole new recruiting talent level required to
compete here. I didn’t expect instant success. Growing pain and
mediocre result was expected. But finally we have found success.
The coaching staff that worked hard to finally make it happen
deserves the recognition. And my expectation for next year is to
compete for conference championship… at least take advantage of
competitive CAA and make the playoffs yearly. We can discuss
coaching change when we go back to being mediocre 4-4 team.

I dislike the play calling & how they run the offence. It's
been several years & coach P always goes back to what he feels
comfortable playing.
The stats don't lie & it's bad....
Time of pession SBU 24:46 Maine 35:16
Total 1st down SBU 2 of 15 13.3% This has not changed for
several years; check out stats for the year ending 2016.
Yards per carry 2.2 yards
Worst part of watching our offence is 3rd down; basically saying
give it to the D & hold them.
If it wasn't for Wagner losing 3 D players in the 3rd quarter;
we could of been looking at a very tough win.
You cannot just overlook this; you have 2 options.... coach P
continues to call the plays or he turns over the managing of the
offence & quit over riding his OC.
I am very happy for the players especially the 5 & 6 year
seniors their is a 11 in total; great way to go out.
Vendetta or HATE you STATED in a post.. very strong words & you
should watch stating that about anyone. There are many alumni
who do not care for his style of coaching; if you want to do a
fair assessment then you should put that out there for SBU fans
& alumni to express their feeling on an option forum & vote.
There are also players that do & don't care for Coach P & you
will find that in every program.
I am very concerned about some some political issue within the
program & sponsors; But that's another whole discussion which i
am not going to even touch at this time.
Live in the moment w no regrets... always speak the truth & be
fearless.......

If you think Coach P is calling the plays you are out to lunch.
He turned the offensive play-calling reigns over to Coach Felus,
who sits up in the booth doing the play calling. The no huddle 3
wr sets should be an obvious clue that things have changed as
opposed to the 2-3 TE sets that were a staple of Coach Priore
football in the past. I posted many of the 2017 stats last week.
You should compare them to 2016 mentioned above. It is a night
and day difference.
Maine’s defense played a very good game. They stuffed our run
game. #10 was something like 10/34 passing for the game. If you
were there you know his passing was erratic at times and also
that his receivers dropped many balls.
The team plane left LI exceedingly late Fri evening due to
mechanical problems. The team sat at the airport for 4+ hrs fri
afternoon/evening. The team was out of sorts and it showed.
The thing I take away from this season is that this team is
winning games that in the past few years they would lose.
Instead of finding ways to lose, this yr they are finding ways
to win. It has been a very special season. It is too bad you
anti-Coach P guys have been unable to enjoy it. It has been a
blast.

Just got back from Maine, but wanted to post the since I had a
long trip the think about this for a few hours.
One of you Dads- and you know who you (since you are always
telling us how great your son is) should no longer come to the
games. We went to the Maine game with friends of ours who
invited us up and we sat near the rest of the SBU fan base (on
the lower right).
Your CONSTANT berating of the coaching staff was unacceptable
(especially as your son is a senior) and even our Maine friends
and others were taken back by your loud mouthed "rants". I
promised my wife I would not get involved since it was her
birthday- but you were really over the top! If you don't know it
that is even sadder.
While I am not a big fan of coaches on the sidelines giving it
back to fans, Coach Frank was tired of listening to you and at
least spoke up. Its too bad you did not stop. Wonder how your
son felt about this?
If you do come to the game on Saturday, and if you cant refrain
from these rants, maybe you should go back out in the parking
lot and have a few more beers and holler all you want from your
car.
As vocal as many of us our as fans and parents of players- you
need to show some class. I would ask you to apologize but doubt
you would.
Good luck to the boys and the coaches this weekend.

here's a question. over the past few years we've talked about
attendance (usually in the context of making a
conference/division jump).
now we have the victories that we all agreed were requisite
before filling the stands. what impact has this then had on
attendance???
total home 47356
over 6 games =
7892 avg home attendance
which is pretty good i think, considering some of the opponents,
weather, etc. Of course, the 12k homecoming weights it a bit
but whatever. now let's set a new goal and get in the high 9s
next year.
GO SB

maybe we could at least recognize the Women's VB team and
Women's soccer team and others. That would put about another 150
or so parents and players in the stands- then we only need about
6K more.
