Borshoff steps down - per Intermat

[flyingcement]

Seemed like a good coach and did a lot without many resources.  Not sure what route they go for in the replacement.  Nick Gwiazdowski? Steve Mytych back to the Bearcats as the head man? Or someone with no connection to the team, but is ready to become a head coach like Brad Dillon?

I love this idea personally.

A couple other names to consider would be Scott Green & Donnie Vinson. Yes, I know Vinson just took over at Buffalo a year or so ago, and is doing a great job recruiting/building there, and I know Green seems excited about working with Nickerson. But, Binghamton is both of their alma maters and that means something to a lot of people. 

Other names: Nic Bedelyon (I know he applied and was a finalist for Kent State HC job), Ramos???, Hayden Hidlay (gets him a HC job closer to home).

My mind went straight to Hayden Hidlay. Young guy who is a student of the sport and speaks really well

[jammenz]

I couldn't find a history or archives on their website.  Am I missing something?

Is Dr. Kemererererer ready?

My only question would be does Hayden want it? or does he want to settle down a little and learn at Stanford for a few years since he's bounced around a bit.

A year late for Nickerson and Donny Vinson as I wonder if either would have taken this since it is so close to home? The ideal candidate is someone who has success and experience from a regional public D1 school. SUNY does not have the endowment/booster support of a power conference, but there is a ton of talent within a few hour drive of campus. Plus the school has a good academic reputation for a North East athlete who may not be at the level of a Cornell or other more elite school. A coach who can help keep top NY athletes home and steal a few from NJ and PA would be very successful. But they have to be a solid fundraiser.

Ryan LeBlanc- NY roots and HC experience
Kyle Dake--not gonna happen but his roots are local....(see gofundme idea below)
Scott Green---as long as he has the fundraising/NCAA management experience---likely does
Hayden Hidlay--PA roots and must have some good NY recruiting experience from working with Popolozio
Zach Esposito---a reach but does he want a head job?
Kellen Russell- Finger Lakes Wrestling club/Cornell has roots as far a Binghamton and maybe he could tap his NJ roots.
Jordan Burroughs- not gonna happen but his wife is from NY and he is NJ---count me in for a gofundme donation to get him there.

What about Gwiz?  He is from the area and started his career at Binghamton.   He was on staff at Cornell for a few years, but Wikipedia says he is currently coaching at a high school in Indiana?

Sorry, missed that you named him in the OP

[Eagle26]

A lot of great names being thrown around… not to be a Debbie downer, but is this a job that any of them would want? Perhaps Borshaff is stepping down in part due to lack of support? I certainly hope the admin rallies behind a great new hire, but I’m a bit skeptical that it will happen
