Will Brown is still waiting for our call. And no, I am not Will Brown. https://www.timesunion.com/sports/article/Will-Brown-leaving-Albany-Patroons-17661428.php

Didn’t CSA go through a round of layoffs? Thought I saw that somewhere but can’t find it.

Longer contract seems easily solved. Are we playing hardball unnecessarily?

This guy McCollum seems like a diamond. He must have some recruiting sense, else how do you get guys to play for D2 NW Missouri St?

Iona’s a big job but UB’s not? “Other big positions are still open, including California, Providence, Iona, Temple and Texas Tech.”

And while he would be successful I’m sure, the culture of our program isn’t a fit.

There comes a time for some when the money is sufficient and they are looking for a place to raise their family.

Thank you to those who reached out. In particular thank you to the influential person on these boards who had the right conversation with the right person at the right time. It seems we are focused in the right places now.

What about himself?

He did well at the Patroons but nah, he’s not my number one. Definitely better than Anderson though.

You’ll see it in my other posts. Bottom line we do not need a retiree on his way down. We need a youngster on their way up.

They care about Anderson, not about UB ball.

We have a chance to change their minds but basically today is the last day.

Mike Anderson would be a disaster. A twice fired coach with a $5M parachute from his prior school and close to retirement, this gig is pointless for him and his ties to us superficial. We’ll just further dig the Whitesell hole. We need young and up and coming. Unfortunately the donor class is pushing hard for Anderson, as is the NY Daily News. We don’t hear much from our NYC alums but they are all over this and are tying it to more downstate games, which could be a good thing but not worth an awful coach who will always lose.

Well he smushed Nevada

It’s a little hard to follow your screed but I believe you’re referring to those promoting Mike Anderson from St John’s. It is the NY Daily News that would push that, not The NY Times, but no matter, I agree with your point, local coaches for a local school.

I like your take. I believe UB made the investment in higher level football (relative to the other SUNYs) as a bet that Bills would leave. With Bills staying I don’t see us increasing sports investment and it would begin with football if it were to happen at all.

Yes, he is bad. Sorry but good coaches don’t get fired twice for poor performance. He will be a disaster for us.

Thinking specifically about Mike Anderson it applies. He would be a huge mistake. Fired twice and now he makes sense for us? He’s older and is sitting on a $5M parachute from SJU. He comes in and none of us should be surprised when our team is as bad as the schools he just came from.

Hofstra has a history of their head coaches going to the Big East or other major conferences.

How about Will Brown? Did well at Albany, fired there for refusing a dubious request by the AD, then took the HC job at the Albany Patroons and got them to 29 and 4 this year. He quit the Patroons for unknown reasons and is available.

No, we want coaches on their way up, not on their way down.

2 more years. They’ll let it ride, unfortunately

That project was for hardware. The issue we’re facing is a software issue.

No need to reset your phone because your phone is reacting exactly as it should. UB’s wifi has an expired cert so your phone’s browser see any page it serves up initially as unsecured. When you get to that screen there should be an option for you to continue anyway, or click a link that says advanced, or something like that, and then continue. It’s at that point you may need to login again and click through the unsecured page again before finally getting in.
