In its short history, Stony Brook has had two head coaches since its first NCAA sanctioned season in 1984.
Sam Kornhauser was the team's first head coach and guided the Seawolves through twenty-two seasons.
Priore led the Seawolves to four consecutive Big South Conference championships (2009 through 2012).
In 2011, Stony Brook claimed their first ever NCAA Division I Football Championship (FCS playoff) bid and advanced to the second round of the tournament.
Priore has also worked with the administration to increase the strength of schedule and grow the program as a national power in Division I FCS.
