Get yourself some quality volunteer assistants.
Recruit like there's no tomorrow. Sell yourself and your program.
Fundraise.
Know how to coach. (Because you were an olympian doesn't mean you know a thing when it comes to working with others)
You don't have to make it to the dance to have an excellent program

Wow! With your anger issues and sexist comments I hope you are not on here looking for a job
Am I sexist is I'm a female making that comment?
The comment is sexist. Guys get on here complaining all the time, no one tells them to take there blue pills and shove it. No one will hire you if they read your writing samples, regardless of content. Your grammar is terrible.

Please, please confirm that you will not be applying to coach a women's team...
What a joke. Championships are bought not built. That's how the Yankees and Red Sox are almost always contenders and Brewers are almost always bottom feeders. The more money you spend the more talent and resources you can buy.....hence D1s with little to no scholarships & quality budgets will never be contenders. Yes you still have to work hard and recruit with a generous operating budget and full scholarship allotment but you can never due it without the resources....and the fundraising comment made me pee my pants in laughter. ...struggling D1s coaches dont need to fund raise for a few thousand....they need to fundraise for hundreds of thousands. ...thats the financial difference between the top schools and the bottom feeders. In the field, really has no clue.

My U' has never made the NCAA's which isn't a comment on my abilities because we aren't that type of program. Got the degrees and exp. level and am ready to take a step up (to Durham).
I have Div.1 experience, the qualifications, a settled family life, and have made an Olympic team.
If the administration wants a female for this position I feel I can make a case that I can recruit an Ivy League championship CC team on paper and develop the individuals so they make the best of their talents. Let's do it in Hanover!
Just a few things, AppleCore. First, as a coach, especially a Div. I coach, results are ALWAYS a comment on your abilities. Do you think because you say it isn't that it isn't? The bottom line is that you haven't gotten it done in the opportunity that you've been given. For an Olympian, you sure are standing on a pretty big excuse. No body cares that "you don't have the resources" or "your school doesn't have the rep of bigger schools" or "my AD doesn't support my sport as much as I'd like" so it is hard to recruit. Tough. If you don't have resources, go get them-plenty of coaches have had to think outside the box and become excellent fundraisers. If you can't land blue chip talent and can only get B-C level talent, then you build your team with that. Pretty soon, the kids and coaches will notice, then you'll get some solid B talent, then you'll get lucky maybe get a blue chip type kid-don't screw it up. That's how it works if you have the skills. Every road is tough, and for some it's really tough, but a good coach can get it done anywhere because they are not concerned with reasons for failure, too busy trying to succeed.
If you think I'm spouting out of my rear-end, guess again. I have 9 years of Div. I experience(3 as a volunteer, and 6 as a paid HC Cross./Asst. Track). I too paid my dues at "low DI school," whatever that means. During my 6 years as a paid assistant when I was in charge, I qualified 13 athletes to the national meet, 6 earned All American certs. when my athletes toed the line in the final, their singlet's didn't have a special designation that marked them as from a small school. You accept the job in this division, you compete against schools "with more money God" as my college coach used to say. No excuses.
One last thing about "your degrees and experience level." The coach of the most successful CC/T7F program in the history of DI NCAA never made an Olympic team and was qualified as a high school woodshop/metal shop teacher. Don't stand to hard on your education and appointed Olympic position, he had neither.
You are right, but you don't need to win championships to have a quality program. I don't think anybody is talking about turning Bumf^^k U into a top 10 program, but there is really no excuse to be a bottom dweller either. Plenty of examples right here in New England.
Washington State planning to do a nationwide search for their new head track coach. James Li and David Dumble are the early favorites to get the job.
I thought WSU was already in the process of conducting a nationwide search. Any confirmation these two coaches are considering the job? Have they been on campus?
I just went to Washington State's coaching page. When did Emma Kertesz become a volunteer? I thought she ran for Hansons? That was short lived.

Well look at her PRs and that explains why it was short lived.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Good luck.
She was tested by USATF three times for having high testosterone levels. I think they said her third test was just declared abnormal. Regardless I would be interested to know why she is volunteering and not pursuing a degree that could help her for her future!
This story keeps getting more interesting. Can't wait for Hadsell book.
Hey Hadsell, do us all a favor and make good on that offer to kill yourself. Thanks!
