Priore has proven he can be successful at a lower level. A good
outcome would be him taking a D2 or D3 position without
exercising the last two years of his contract at SB. Not likely,
but would be a win/win.

“I've done a poor job,” he said, according to 24/7 Sports. “The
buck stops with me.” Wanna take a guess who said this and who
DIDN'T? and who no doubt will be gone fairly soon?

He absolutely did do a poor job. Admittingly or not. The SB
Politics got in the way with giving him a long term contract
renewal. That's was BS. We all knew the little Napeloan was not
the man for the job to win in the CAA and take this program to
the next level like SH alluded to when he first got here.
Coach P can come straight out and tell the world he should not
be SB HC, they still wont let him go. Unless the little guy
agrees to take a lesser buyout, which I doubt will ever happen!

Coach P's buyout for the three years would be somewhere in the
neighborhood of a million dollars. $900,000-$1.3M is my guess
for the remainder of his contract.
FSU meanwhile just bought out Willie Taggart for $18 million
dollars in his second season. Just goes to show you how to
contrast the two programs and levels. Supposedly there was even
a booster who was willing to pay for the whole thing :D

Any self-respecting program would cut face immediately. The main
roadblock we have is New York State being notoriously awful with
funding. SUNY is probably the worst state education system and
it’s a shame that a school as good as Stony Brook has to suffer
under its oppressive limitations. I long for the day when we
break free of their chains. We’ve been economically screwed over
by the state for far too long.

Spoken list a true student -:) Back in the day when I was a
student, I used to be the same way, so I'm not being critical
here.............
SUNY, despite its financial crunch, is still an outstanding
system overall. Tell me where you get an education from a
quality school at this price anywhere else in the country. To
me, that is the bottom line.
Athletically, we've come a helluva long way since my days at
SBU. We all want more; that's human nature. Although I firmly
believe a coaching change is warranted, there is no way that SBU
eats the kind of money that VA_Seawolf mentions above. Not a
chance. Additionally, there is no way SH would fire him, since
he's responsible for giving him the extension in the first
place. I totally understand all the venting about the coach on
this board, but his removal ain't gonna happen until his current
contract expires.

College athletics (including football) are only a means to an
end, meaning a better student experience and ultimately, a
better overall academic experience. Which of us wouldn't prefer
to have a degree from Johns Hopkins or MIT, even though they
have basically no athletics tradition. Although SB definitely
needs a new HC, the $1 million buyout (assuming that's correct)
is better spent on academics.

I think for a program with the aspirations of Stony Brook, a new
coach will be necessary. I think Priore has demonstrated his
ceiling here. How many FCS programs will boast an indoor
facility the likes of what we will have soon? I think our
ceiling is higher- our players are definitely talented but my
bigger problem is making sure we get the most out of them. I
think there are enough wealthy boosters that they could cover
the buy-out.
I would 100% be on board with showing him the door but we need
to have the right replacement. What I am concerned about is
finding the right coach for New York football- Priore (and his
staff) have good connections in LI and have found really good
talent locally in Long Island which is very important. We can't
replace him with a coach from the south or something as it won't
be easy dragging kids from Florida or Texas to Stony Brook.
Anyway, congrats to Albany on a very good season. Hoping they do
well in the playoffs.
Back to basketball...

Let's assume SB doesn't have or want to spend the money to hire
a new coach. If you were Priore, what would you do to make this
Football Program one that would contend for the CAA title/make
the FCS playoffs every year?

I watched the game this past Saturday on TV . The announcers
could not believe we were down 21` nothing and still trying to
run the ball up the middle . Priore would need to open the
offense and pass especially with Fields at QB . But he wont do
that I bet on . He is stuck on running on all downs if needed
which means another several seasons of losing .
