Re: Premier D3 jobs
You're not putting Plattsburgh in the same breath as St.Norbert, Oswego, Adrian, UWSP, and Norwich....maybe even as far as Trinity...sorry. This isn't the late 90's to early 2000's where Plattsburgh went to 5 Final Four's in 7 years. Oswego has easily taken over that spot, as has Geneseo. If Plattsburgh is "relevant" you might as well add Utica, Hobart, Babson, UMB, and Williams in there too. Just because Plattsburgh has won the SUNYAC 5 times, it didn't mean they were a National Contender each year. The same can't be said for a team like St.Norbert, Adrian, UWSP, Oswego ect ect who were considered the favorites the majority of those years. Did Plattsburgh have a few good years? Sure. But they are not the powerhouse they were years ago. The years when it was EXPECTED to be in the Final Four, not just a "happy to be here". 2 Final Four's in the past 11 years... TWO regular season titles in the past 9 years....
If you want to put Plattsburgh in the "good" teams over the past decade? Sure....but they're not on the level of the mentioned above...sorry. Some people can't get over the fact Plattsburgh isn't the same Plattsburgh as years past, but thinking they are in the same mention of St.Norbert, Adrian, Norwich, Oswego, and others is simply laughable. Yes the SUNYAC has become better. Yes Plattsburgh has one of the best DIII coaches around. While they may not be the Dallas Cowboys (1996) or Montreal Canadiens (1993) as far as Championship appearances go (2010, 2008)....
In the past 8 seasons Final Four Appearances
St.Norbert - 6
Norwich - 4
UWSP - 4
Oswego - 4
Adrian - 3
Trinity - 2
Geneseo - 2
Amherst - 2
UWEC - 1
Salve - 1
Colby - 1
UMB - 1
Utica - 1
Plattsburgh......0.....
13 different teams have made it to the final weekend.....Plattsburgh has not been one of them...so yes, to some...in order to be relevant, one should probably make it to the final weekend at least once in the past 8 years.....
