Kentucky is a great place to grow a career. New facilities, SEC status job. To be the best, you have to compete against the best. Kentucky offeres that.

Floreal is not a distance coach. So what will happen to Kentucky's distance program? New distance guy? Old assistant move up?

Only 3 T&F weenies in the 2012 London Olys is what did Floreal in. USC has 20, UCLA has 24, LSU has 11. Condoleeza Rice, Jim Plunkett, Chelsea Clinton, Phil Knight, Bruny Surin, Tiger Woods, and other powerful graduates voted Floreal out.

Why would he leave STANFORD for kentucky?


At Top 10 world universities like Cal, USC, UCLA, Cal Tech, etc. you have to have world level accomplishments comparable to your peers on campus to keep your gig. Professors have to start companies like California Microwave, Varian, Google, Sun Microsystems, etc. or get awarded huge U.S. Government Lab contracts, publish earth shattering breakthoughs, invent enabling technology like Internet (UCLA & Rand Corp), and have students publish innovative research and get invites to international Conferences. Athletics coaches have to win NCAA championships, win Olympic Medals and win IAAF WC medals. If you did o.k. but don't measure up to the rest of the faculty then you are allowed to leave. Lannana was allowed to resign before and now Floreal has been allowed the same courtesy.
