SUNY Oswego players were notified via email that they have hired Andrew Daly from Wells College as the new Head Coach. Interesting hire...doesn't look like Wells has had more than 15 players on their team and have been bottom dwellers in D3 forever. Likely a result of a poor candidate pool.

There are a number of open head mens lacrosse coaching jobs that are not getting the quality or quantity of candidates as we have seen in the past. I do know that there are a couple of positions that have already been filled by a coach who wasn't the first choice at that particular institution.

I would think that the housing market and current state of the economy could be causing many coaches that have good/solid jobs to just stay put. There really haven’t been a lot of great openings this year either.

I will also add that a number of candidates have significant others who have to give them the ok in order to pack up the family and move to X school and university.

The money that some of these schools are offering (or lack there of), it doesnt make sense for these guys to move, even if the institution takes care of some of the moving expenses.

Completely agree. After last years musical chairs of very good jobs/very good coaches, this was bound to happen. Bates and Wooster are very good jobs to build success. Misericordia has had some nice success of recent. Whittier has so many "problems" it is no longer a stepping stone job. Marywood has some value to it especially after last season but is that sustainable? Can you win at SUNY Plattsburgh?

Yes. Whatever route they decide to go and who they decide to hire, give Plattsburgh a year or two and they can be back.

I think Juniata and Marietta are solid jobs with a ton of upside.

What is going on with Marywood and their search?

If you're suggesting that Daly is a poor hire due to the roster size at Wells, I think that's a little short-sighted.

Wells has been a perennial bottom-dweller at D3 since its inception, and that points much more to institutional support/reputation than who has been the head coach. I grew up in NY and have family in the Syracuse area, and had NO IDEA Wells was outside of Cuse. Doubt the school is on many students radar, especially considering you can get a better education at many of the SUNY schools for much less. (Not that Wells is overly expensive)

Daly had success as an assistant at Oneonta and understands the SUNY experience. I think it could potentially be a good fit. And after working at a school like Wells, I'm sure he knows how to grind out recruiting.


A note on SUNY postings:

I honestly think you're going to see many of these SUNY positions (as they turn over in the coming years) filled by applicants with similar backgrounds for a couple reasons.

1. NY is an expensive state to live in.
2. SUNY doesn't pay well overall.

Starting salary at Plattsburgh is $42k. I'm sure it's similar at Oswego. We all saw what happened at Brockport. These positions will continue to pay in the $45k range, especially as the number of NY residents continues to decline. SUNY recognizes that their potential student pool is draining, and this will likely lead to some major budget cuts in the next 5-10 years.

Only program that would have the pull to entice an upper-level D3 HC would be Cortland. But I'm sure there will be $$ considerations after paying Beville $85k/year

I too grew up outside of Syracuse in Chittenango NY and I had no Idea that Wells College even existed. But to be fair, back in my day we had to go to HR to look at the big college book (Fiske Guide).
