Stony Brook Hires Priore

 

Another one of Fordie's guys taking the helm of a college football team.

Chuck was the person I envisioned taking over for Bob Ford one day. I was friends with him and his family during his tenure at Albany and witnessed his passion for the game. He will do a great job at Stony Brook.

He will make SBU a serious threat in the NEC. Albany has to keep pace with some upgrades to facilities. Priore is a MASTER MOTIVATOR!!! I know Chuck and Ray(his brother) very well. He was my strenghth coach in my playing days. I am actually disappointed that he did not take a better job then SBU.

 

He will get the very most out of his players and SBU should become a contender instead of an also ran.

Maybe UA should take this as a hint that Stony Brook is more serious about moving up than us. I don't think Coach Priore would have taken the job unless he thought that SBU was going to be a full-scholly team in a very very short time. With his accomplishments I think he would have been a serious candidate at any DIAA scholly program.

 

Out of all the mid-majors, I'd hate more than anything to be left in the dust by SBU. We are similary situated and should be on the same advancement track, but to me it doesn't seem to be that way. Maybe I'm wrong.

We are absolutly on the same track, the problem is that SBU has outstanding facilities to recruit with. We will lose some players due to the facility. In days past the Albany staff was really never that worried about Kornhauser. With Priore they will now have to out recruit them and out coach them. It can be done but in time SBU will get the better player due to facility alone.

 

if Ford had stepped down Priore without doubt have taken the Albany job! Fact! But Ford is like Paterno and Bowden and will coach forever!

[Ruler]

The real question I have is why on earth did not interview for the Columbia or Fordham jobs? Or even the Hofstra job?

 

On the plus side for Albany is the staff will be very motivated to beat SBU year in and year out. Ford and Simpson absolutly HATE to lose tho their former coaches.
