Some advice... I've been coaching since I was 22. You have to PAY YOUR DUES. If that's volunteering a thousand hours a season, if it's coaching HS, being a GA, part-time, living off peanuts, working another job, whatever it takes if you really want to do it. Trust me a lot of people don't want to do that, what they want is something that they think it is that it is not. You better be a good administrator, creative, understand budgets, dealing with diverse people, you better love the sport and you better be ready to sacrifice a lot of other things because if you are a good coach then you will invest a lot of yourself into many people and that takes time, mental, emotional and physical energy. Lastly, do not get jaded by the system. Ask yourself why you want to coach, how you want to coach and what kind of people you want to coach? There's a big difference in being a talent manager and developing people. There are a lot of things you will have no control over, politics will kick you in the arse and people will always have an opinion. If you can live with that, have thick skin and honestly give it your 100% best then you will land on your feet and someone somewhere will be fortunate to have you. The road will not be easy... |

Unemployedblonde, Hard for me to believe anyone that says "skinny distance boys (using the word boys especially)" has an "experienced filled resume." You sound like a stuck up young rich girl thats been taken care of all your life and now in the early years of your coaching career you find out you can't always get what you want. My advice to you. Look around this summer. You will see plenty of young females getting jobs at big time programs. It's already happening. I know plenty of "skinny distance boys" out there much more qualified that can out coach, recruit and perform. But here is the real truth. Now listen carefully blonde. Your pretty looks and who you know will get you the interview. But you will get exposed. Once people find out how annoying and/or airheaded you actually are, that's a big turn off. Think about it. 30+ jobs. Something is not right. |

Wow sexist much? I am a male and have applied for well over 25 jobs this last year and had 6 interviews and I have not gotten any of those jobs. I hold two Master's degrees and was a GA for 2 years, a volunteer for 5 years and then was a full time coach for 8 years at a mid major DI and I am currently out of work. Getting collegiate coaching jobs for anyone is damn hard. No need to bash another sex or another event area coach. Although I will say this in my experience the skinny distance boys seem to have a better shot at getting jobs these days. It is cheaper for an athletic department to hire one head coach to coach both XC and Track than to have two head coaches. Distance coaches have a huge leg up in the battle for head coaching positions. |

This is whats very wrong with the NCAA and the college coaching system. Gender shouldn't be an issue, it should be about your passion for coaching and wanting to be a successful coach, not you being a young pretty girl who looks good in short khaki shorts and a stop watch on your neck.[/quote] Weird, seeing as I've applied to 30+ jobs this Spring and have only gotten 1 interview. Even though I have a "unisex" first name, I always click on the "female" box on the optional forms, because I do realize that being a female distance coach has its advantages over men. However, even with my experience-filled resume & references higher up on the NCAA chain, I'm not going to agree with the first post saying it's "crazy easy for women." Just a heads up for any fellow female out there trying to get a job that is as frustrated as I am. It's not just the NCAA/college coaching system looking for diversity. You'll find that in any job market. The times of the white-male domination of the work force is over. Employers are looking for the most qualified and if it comes down to 2 potential employees that are similarly qualified, they're going to go with the more diverse option (female, black, Hispanic, whatever). There are percentages that have to be met. Sorry white boys (especially you skinny distance boys dreaming of being distance coaches, good luck!).[/quote] GetsThePeopleGoing, I know that came off borderline creeper, i was just being silly and exaggerating but ya caught the drift. UnemployedBlonde, thanks for your honesty and I'm sure its not easy for anyone but you guys do have the advantage. In my case i am a black man(well half and half white) and not a skinny distance runner. I really was looking for an entry level volunteer job to get experience but its not easy, esp when former runners get that position at their university. So, basically i'm screwed for now lol |

The Missouri job is not open |
| Run More.... |

I don't think it's as much as a "female hire" or a "minority hire" as people think (though it does happen). Having seen the process unfold several times I think it has more to do with the people who do the hiring already have a list of 1-3 people they are going to interview. If you are not on their list before the job gets posted, you don't really have a chance. Very few positions are posted with the intent of actually reviewing all applicants. Really about who you know, and maybe even more about who knows you and is going to recommend you for a position. If Pat Henry, Vin Lanana, or Boo Schexnayder give you a recommendation set. |

Look for at least one female distance runner to land at a MAC school. Likely Toledo. |

There hasn't been a coaching change yet, so no, no one has left. |
