Thornton was a predictably bad hire to begin with but that being said, the Plattsburgh job has been a revolving door. They went from funding and staffing the program well just a couple coaches ago, to a progressive decline year over year.

2 bad hires in a row will do that.

Article https://www.pressrepublican.com/news/su ... a0463.html from 2023 seems to say that Plattsburgh is in stable financial position, but with recent budget cuts. I can only assume that some of that came out of athletics. President of Plattsburgh:

Being in this financial spot has been the result of good budget management in recent years, he said.

“Our plan … is about being very thoughtful in terms of where do we move programs to, in terms of renewing programs or developing new programs. We’ve been doing the necessary work around reductions and I’ll say, budget changes, since I’ve been here well over three years,” Enyedi said.

“We’ve taken 20% out of our budget already in the last three years.”

This coach knows a lot of these kids, coached/recruited some. I know he was 1 of the final 4 interviews. This is the guy this program needs.

Washington and Jeff is done.

Moving Kean back to Open based on some feedback in this thread.

Not that I've heard. He is the guy most people wanted, but I haven't seen any confirmation.

Unless KU has a similar FT opportunity like admissions or development I think it would be a tough jump for him from a providing for a young family standpoint

He did interview so there had to be some interest.
