This is a sneaky good hire for Albertus. Coach Bronander knows the New England recruiting scene from both the college, and the club / high school coach side of things; having spent time at Bridgton and Milton as well as a stint with 3D New England.

Best of all, he's had experience at Albertus as an assistant coach. I heard a veteran coach once say that the best sign of respect a young coach can receive is to have an AD want to bring them back when a full time job opens. It looks like this was the case for Coach Bronander. Good hire.

I know it was mentioned earlier in this thread, but does anyone know anything else about this? I was told through the grapevine and a pretty reliable source but wanted to see if anyone else had heard anything similar? I’d imagine that would be a very intriguing job if this were the case

I'm not sure it make sense to say something like "NJ has lots to offer" when discussing hiring at a given school. It's an entire state, of course it has lots to offer. So do all states. No one is going to chose to coach a school because it is in the same state as Hoboken. NJ produces lots of excellent lacrosse players, most of the better of whom chose to go to college elsewhere, both at the D1 and D3 level. Rectify that and these schools could attract better coaches. Selling them on the boardwalk at Wildwood is probably not going to cut it.

Just trying to be nice about the difficulties of attracting lacrosse players to the schools. It after competing with the D1 and top D3 programs the FDU’s and Keqn’s of the world have to get lucky or have some connection to a school to get kids. Kean had a good in with Central but does that go away with Shelly being done. Does Stone’s liability and connections to club teams in NJ help him recruit.
We will see.

Thanks for being nice…but you’re misinformed about the HC connection.

I would say that 5 kids in the past fees years from the same program is a connection and he got some good kids out of that school.

Agreed the 6 kids were/are very good. very good is an understatement for some of them. But, it wasn’t the former coach that got them there.

Interesting take on the recruiting process.

Been reading up on the Kean comments. Seems like you think you know a lot as the parent of a current player.

Maybe I’ll spill some beans about hiring process … Kean AD doesn’t look very bright at the moment. Hopefully he navigates this successfully for the program.

Anybody connected to the program knows how the HC kids got there, it's common knowledge.

I don't know the AD, never spoke with him. But, he has made it clear to the players he does not care for the program. That may be due to the former coach, but he/they aren't going to try and help the program, that's for sure.

That would be a shorter retirement than Tom Brady.

Chopping block? This is laughable.

Haha. Good for Coach. Kean made a mistake! Shame on Parents/players pushing good people out!

Parents? Parents played no role in this. He did it to himself. From the stories I’ve heard it’s a wonder he lasted as long as he did.

Comments like that are what I am referring to. You haven’t been too supportive of your kid’s coach. Making it sound like there has been a problem for years?? Cmon come clean you or/and other parents were involved.

Now the program is going to hire a part time guy? Bad look for Kean.
