2012 Coaching Openings

So you are impressed with his last two hires? Can you educate us as to what James Thomas and Victor Houston have done? They do not appear to have done much at Kentucky and Alabama.

Hartlke is not leaving ISU. He has a good and secure gig there as long as Imhels is there

I don't get on this board to get in pissing matches or resume wars. I just state my opinion. If you think Victor Houston or James Thomas sucks, then please feel free to let the world know...

Can anybody give the rest of us a rational explanation for this hire?

Yes, this means you did not get the job. #moveon

This would be a huge pull for Oregon. Great Coach that has a done a great job with both his men and women throwers.

Sorry I was referring to Whitsitt (Illinois State) going to Oregon.

Any other word on Ryan Turner? Is he taking the Friends University job in Wichita, KS?

Was not challenging you to a pissing match. Just posted my opinion as well and gave you a chance to correct me by expanding upon your opinion of ol' Wes nailing this hire as well as your liking the moves they are making.

If you would prefer to not respond, no problem. As far as letting the world know how much one sucks...I do not believe in slander.

That seems logical. Who might be in line for the Houston distance job?

Oops, guess I didn't read the Letsrun message board rules. I guess you only need to validate your statements when they are positive and supportive. You get on the board state your opinion about 2 coaches who don't meet your approval and expect me to justify? Please elaborate on your displeasure kind sir or ma'am...

Steve Magness? Would be a good fit since he is an alumnus of UH and just left the Oregon Project?

Also, why would Turner head to an NAIA school when he's at the D1 level?

My apologies if you were offended...I do not expect you to do anything. I took the time to take a quick glance at the top 10 lists that are on almost every college website these days and these hires do not impress me. But hey, I do not expect "ol' Wes" or anybody else to feel like they have to impress me.

I wish them all the best. My opinion is, on paper anyway, it is a very average hire when compared to what you had. Your opinion is that they 'nailed' this hire. I was simply curious whether or not you wished to help me understand why it was so great (maybe I have missed something?). You choose not to and I am fine with that. As far as I am concerned, that can be the end of the story.

As you stated, I agree that a pissing match is not needed.

He is from Kansas and probably still has a lot of family there. Just because you are at D1 school doesnt mean that is the greatest job in the world. Lots of D3, NAIA, JUCO jobs out there that are good jobs. Its all about being where you want to live.

Looks like you guys will have to agree to disagree. It is clear that Txguy65 thinks Wes nailed it with this hire for a few reason he must know James Thomas very well, must really really like him, might be on the Tech Staff, or is James Thomas himself. It also appears LOL-Really was simply not impressed because he doesn't know much about James Thomas. So Txguy, why did Wes nail this hire and LOL-Really why do you think the last two hires are unimpressive?

Andrew Valmon - Head Coach leaving?

Tim McMahon - Volunteer Assistant getting promoted?

It will be Beth Sullivan! Highly succesful director of track for men AND women. Numerous coaching honors and FORMER stanford assistant at Standford in thr mid 90 with me.
