[> [> [> I do believe the former -- Peacock, Monday, June 02, 04:06:13pm [1]

will be in the development office. While one always knows he will be asked advice, I doubt he will be a substantial influence. If he over rides the newbie, then all those accolades you just insinuated will be lost. Probably the biggest comment I heard and it came from a unsuspected person, was that SPC hit a home run. I read the resume and it is impressive but like the players, one does not know until he performs. And that performance will take at least a year before we even get an inkling.

By the way, why have you been so quiet on the recruiting front. Right now we only have 12 and one a phantom at that. You would think there would be some hot irons in the fire. LP goes down south, but he never would have been admitted anyway.

Guess I'm more surprised by what has not occurred than what has. Especially the absense of an academic casuality(s). To leave or not still seems the question for one.

Hard to wax optimistic on the recruiting front. I'm sure John is still lamenting the big that at the last moment followed his coaches' advice and decided to travel futher north.

How far north? Also "To leave or not still seems the question for one." is applicable to one every one thought or to an additional one premised before.

Beantown. One who you would have thought, while the other, someone we can only hope.

As his benefactor, Patrick will most assuredly look to Stein for guidance. At least for the first year, save, "being your own man" for the tabloids.

Who is your additional "premised" before?

JERSEY CITY, NJ (June 2, 2008) � Patrick Elliott will become the sixth director of athletics in Saint Peter�s College history on Tuesday in an 11:30am press conference scheduled for the McIntyre Room of Dineen Hall on the College�s campus in Jersey City, NJ.

Elliott replaces Bill Stein who is retiring after serving as the institution�s director of athletics for the past 26 years.

�Patrick Elliott is the right person at the right time to lead Saint Peter�s College Athletics to the next level,� stated Saint Peter�s College President, Dr. Eugene J. Cornacchia. �I am confident he appreciates the central importance of keeping the right balance between academics and competitive athletics, of instilling in our student-athletes a commitment to good sportsmanship and integrity, and the College�s desire to see Athletics play a greater role in the life of this community.�

Elliott comes to Saint Peter�s after serving as the senior associate athletic director for finance, planning and operations for four years and the associate athletic director for planning and internal operations for one year at St. John�s University in New York City.

While at St. John�s, Elliott was responsible for administering the annual budget, facility enhancements and multimillion dollar agreements with Madison Square Garden and Nike, Inc. He was also instrumental in the development of the master plan for the athletic capital campaign and the five-year department strategic plan.

Elliott also served as the associate director of athletics for finance and operations for two years and the assistant director of athletics for facilities and operations for five years at Seton Hall University before joining the St. John�s staff.

At Seton Hall, he was responsible for managing the operating budget and overseeing the $8 million facility enhancement project. Elliott also assisted the development office with the implementation of athletic event planning.

�His experience as an athletic administrator, athlete, and coach; his proven integrity; his enthusiasm for working collaboratively across the College to develop the �whole student-athlete�; and his vision for enhancing spectator support for all sports - all speak to why Patrick Elliott is the perfect fit for the Saint Peter�s community,� remarked Dr. Eileen Poiani, Saint Peter�s College vice-president for student affairs and chairperson of the athletic director search committee. �Our Athletic Department and I look forward to working with him.�

Elliott is a 1989 graduate of Seton Hall University, earning a bachelor of science degree in management and industrial relations. He went on to earn a master of arts in education degree in 1992 while he was serving as a men�s basketball assistant coach, a position he held for five seasons at Seton Hall.

Saint Peter�s College is the Jesuit College of New Jersey. Founded in 1872, Saint Peter�s has an enrollment of approximately 3,000 students in undergraduate and graduate programs. The main campus is located in Jersey City. The College has a branch campus for adults in Englewood Cliffs, NJ and also offers courses at various corporate sites at the Jersey City waterfront and in South Amboy, NJ.

Welcome aboard, Patrick! Best of luck getting things headed in the right direction.

I like the "young, hungry" route vs. the "experienced, is there a pulse?" route we could have taken.

Mr. Cella, might this be reason for optomism? :>)

At first blush I am not impressed. Nice resume on finances but nothing on selecting coaches,managing people or running an athletic department. In time we will know but right now I am skeptical.

I have known Pat Elliott for 30 years. An EXTREMELY solid guy, very very smart. I am sure he knows he has his work cut out for him, but the energy and enthusiasm he will bring can only be an asset.
