Sloppy offense, weak finish plummet Stony Brook football to
opening night loss

[quote]The Seawolves’ passing offense suffered a miserable night
overall, as Zamot and Bryden combined to complete just eight of
their 24 passes for just 83 yards and three picks. Despite a
poor performance from the two of them, it was not all their
fault. The Seawolves receivers dropped several catchable passes
that stalled drives.
The offensive line had several breakdowns in pass protection as
well, which Priore pointed out in his press conference.
“From my vantage point, I don’t think we protected them very
well when the opportunities arose,” Priore said.
Now entering their bye in week two, Priore said that the team
will re-evaluate the quarterback situation. Despite that, Priore
also said that he has not lost any confidence in his two
quarterbacks.
“I’m confident in them,” Priore said. “I’m just as confident as
I was yesterday.”
Another reason for Stony Brook’s poor offensive output was that
Rhode Island stopped the run. The Seawolves rushed for 167
yards, but they only averaged 3.9 yards per carry as a team, and
Zamot was the team’s leading rusher with 83 yards. Lawton was
stuffed all night, rushing for only 46 yards on 20 carries. They
never pulled off a big play: the longest run by a Stony Brook
running back was only 12 yards. Lawton’s main backups, Roland
Dempster and Seba Nekhet, were both out with lower-body
injuries, leaving the Seawolves without two other big pieces of
their run game.
“We didn’t get off any big plays that changed the field,” Priore
said. “It needs to be better at every aspect.”

The thing with Priore is that he does the bare minimum to avoid
getting fired.
(1) runs a clean program
(2) wins a few games every year to make it seem like "next year
will be better"
I'm sure Stony Brook wants to avoid setbacks in the future and
buying out the coach. But I think its time to take the risk and
get a new coach. I was in the Priore camp in the back of giving
him additional time. But time has run out now.
We have great facilities, good funding, and a great university
overall. It should be possible to win and compete at a high
level in the FCS at Stony Brook. Priore has gotten accustomed to
his paycheck and mediocrity

Well, I think I see it this way:
Priore Negatives:
- Predictable, run-heavy offense that hasn't had a good passer
in a very long time (be it from recruitment or transfer issues,
what have you)
- He doesn't consistently show the energy that I'd expect from a
coach hungry for a championship, but that could be more
reflective of his age rather than anything else
- His teams at times don't seem disciplined, and his interviews
don't give off the idea that he strongly instills that in his
players
Priore Positives:
- His graduation rates are high
- His program APR is very high (Higher than every other state
school in the conference but Rhode Island, who tied us at 973
and W&M, who scored 980). In fact, 2020-2021 was the highest it
has ever been at SBU as a D1 program
- While I do not know how coaches see him, his public reputation
is sound
- I've talked to him, we used to go to the same gym. He's an
introvert, but seems like a decent human being
The last "major" coach to be fired at SBU was Nagle with MLax,
who was widely seen in a negative light and was costing his
program recruits and reputation. Priore's coaching may not
always satisfy us, and the on field product may not be
transcendent, but he is NOT an embarrassment to this school
because - while we sometimes wish otherwise - I have to agree
with him that winning is not the sole thing that defines a
collegiate football program.
While I think there's something to be said about bringing in a
new face to a program, and the guy is aging so one will
eventually appear, I do not blame SH for extending Priore. I
would, however, beg them to spend some real money on a good OC
who can properly prepare a passer.

I thought Football coaches are hired to win games, not lose
them. Fans really dont care if athletes have the highest GPA out
of all D1 football programs.
I totally disagree with you about SH extending P's contract. It
will be four more years of the same thing, losing. if that is
your style of college football, then support it, not mine.
Coach P is as arrogant and narcissistic as any human being I've
spoken to. His people skills with the supporting public are the
worst, and his communication with the public as far as the
direction the program is going is trash. He's not transparent.
keeps the public and boosters in the dark. I've had many
conversations with him over the course of 11 years, In public
and outside of the public. I am not the only one who feels this
way as well. And you wonder why SBU has a hard time finding "big
money boosters" to donate back to this program. I surely hope
that scoreboard can stay lit for the entire season!!
I know for a fact many high school coaches don't like him. One
local school in particular, WM. I heard that first hand.
Coach P is being paid quite well for a coach with a losing
record in the CAA. I think you give him too much credit and I
also think he should have not gotten a contract extension. This
extension is indicative of the direction SBU is going in sports.
W & L does not matter anymore here. Just keeping the program
solvent enough to say SBU has a D1 sports program for all to see
is all that matters now..
Take a good look around other schools that play football in the
CAA, and see what direction they are going in football. It's not
down, only up.

i dont think he was agreeing with the extension- just pointing
out why it may have happened.
maybe this is the drawback of enjoying such a strong academic
reputation; this is what comes with it- sometimes. pulling off
both athletics and academics (let's say like stanford, duke,
michigan, UVa, etc.) is very, very difficult and so seldom done.

Delaware beats Navy today 14-7 behind a new coach.
Coach P has been with SBU for 18 years and he's still losing to
Rhode Island and will have ass handed to him by UMASS.
[/quote]
Stony Brook beat Delaware last season 34-17. All this tell us
is that the Navy program has completely turned to crap!
[/quote]
Delaware fired their head coach Rocco after ONE 5-6 season,
immediately after making the Final Four in the Covid year.
That's the sign of a school that actually knows what it's doing
and doesn't make excuses for bad performance. They didn't care
that he did well in the Covid year, half a year later he was out
of a job because he DID NOT PERFORM.
They replaced him with a guy that reinvigorated the program and
immediately won an FBS game. It's amazing what getting rid of
dead weight mediocrity and replacing him with fresh exciting
blood can do!
Stony Brook bringing Priore back is the school committing its
own suicide. Priore is probably on his way to his fourth
straight under .500 season, and what do we do? Give him the
chance to bring us four more under .500 seasons instead of
getting rid of him! Stupid, stupid, stupid!
McGuiness is turning into such a bust of a president. If she
OK's this, she is just as useless. She came from Texas, she's
not blind to what an actual school looks like. She knows how to
read win-loss columns and scoreboard numbers. I'd love to see
the justification, knowing all of this info that's readily
available to all of us. Heilbron also is getting too much credit
for being accepted into the CAA. Anyone at the time could have
taken Stony Brook there, Heilbron didn't do anything special.
No one with half a brain would extend Priore. The school and
athletic department is run by morons.

I seriously doubt that Navy turned to crap. Let's see how they
play against Memphis at home this weekend.

Simply "not being an embarassment to the school" should't be
reason enough to keep your job at a school with a profile as
high as ours who spends as much as we do on salaries for
coaches. Last I checked Coach P got paid more than some FBS
coaches all to lose to Rhode Island.
He's gotta go. It's time. Nothing against him as a person, but
the wins/losses are unacceptable at this point.
