For all the chatter about the FDU job, I gotta admit the hire is very underwhelming. Wish him all the best though.

I think it is a solid hire. FDU was not a job folks were really excited about. Stone will do a good job getting them to respectable. He was a great assistant/recruiter at Muhlenburg. I think this was a surprise because we didn’t hear his name, but a solid surprise. Best of luck to FDU

Rhodes has an acceptance, announcement coming this week.

Good hire with local ties. Definitely a step in the right direction. I think he will do well.

Turns out that making up fake rumors about people's jobs doesn't make it true in the real world. Good luck to FDU's new coach, that is going to be tough to turn around.

Truth. The stuff being thrown around FDU was90% garbage. I don’t think anyone mentioned on forum were in the mix or even applied.

That aside, this is a good hire. The guy recruits Jersey and did a good job for the Mules.

I thought that opening was a formality? Great hire for Brockport. Fiorentino did great work at Geneseo.

Surprised in the FDU selection. Some of the other names mentioned as having interviewed were quite strong.

It was a formality until someone with more experience applied. Does kind of suck for Cornaire. Hes getting uprooted and booted after only two season and recruiting 2 huge classes to try and reignite the program.

Most of these are schools with almost no chance to have significant success at. Kean has little chance of having any sort of big time success but is not a likely career trajectory killers as many of the other might be. However, the PT issue is massive. It is certainly not some sort of tradition rich or glamorous job. It is in a conference that is barely a conference with no chance of an autobid. They will get someone with a decent CV I am sure but not surprising they are not being flooded with great candidates.

Stone is quite strong. Good hire, tireless worker.
