And who are the best coaches out there who are looking?

I know of a few, myself included. We're the type of dudes who don't pander to AD's, don't cave in to dumb hipster athletes, and know how to make the sport relevant at institutions. In other words, we don't play the game, so we rarely get interviews. Key to success in college coaching: keep your AD happy by keeping the athletes happy, produce 1-2 all-Americans every other year and keep your budget low.

Amen Brother!

I heard they are also looking at a guy who used to be a head coach in the southland.

You have to understand the market and environment in which we (and by that I mean coaches that DO have jobs) work in this day and age. Have fun standing on your anachronistic soapbox.

Exactly right. You have to be able to relate to the kids-not be one, but relate to them and realize who reports to whom in the scalar chain. It's like the old saying: privates wait on sergeants, sergeants don't wait on privates. To play the game successfully, one must know the rules and the key players AND your own role. You either get with that or find other employment.

Every job has situations in which you do things that the environment of the job requires. Sounds like you're upset you don't have a coaching gig.If you want to coach at the college level...you play "the game". Just like if you want to work on Wall Street or be a college professor, or whatever it is. Go live in the woods and then you won't have to worry about what other people might demand of you.

Wait until you see who TX hires as the 6th coaching spot....the former UT coaches that were let go will sh*t bricks. Female with no coaching experience.

No word on csula yet? Students report in what, a week or 2? Must stink to be a girl on the xc team waiting on a coach!

(or did I miss the announcement? And no, I won't go to the csula site--I get my news from LRC first).

Watts to USC after a great stint as a distance coach at Cal State Northridge

Question is does Indiana State have an opening now for sprints?

ETSU is looking for a Sprints coach. Any news on who Watts is looking for?

Why don't you just tell us instead of being so dramatic?

Cal State LA already has a cross country coach, so the girls are covered. They are hiring a head track coach, and while it says "head cross country," the distance coach is still there. Unless the new coach has another idea...

KD to LSU

Scott Irving to IL?

Who did Missouri State hire for field events?

Where did you hear that about Irving? Turk is the throws coach at UI

She was a GA at Murray State last year. Prior to that she was a volunteer assistant on the West Coast for a season. She is thin on experience, as her GA gig at Murray had her working with the non-scholarship men's cross country team (terrible). She was a local name and the correct gender.

Hopefully, the foreigners can continue to race well at WKU. All US/KY kids flounder. Too bad.

Too bad they flounder; there are so many better colleges out there.
