Yes, please consider how our American Record Holder in the 100 Hurdles; has fallen apart after leaving the Clemson program. You must wonder about the NCAA and Clemson drug testing during her last year. (NCAA testing at an institution is random for each sport)

According to the description, its to help Ronnie Williams with the sprints
Kent State hires Barron Witherspoon as asst. t/f . Wasn't the original job posting for asst xc/tf ? I'm sure Croghan could use some help aside from a volunteer.

just answer the question when I ask you something and don't add to it. Got it?
Wakenight was expected(was he an athlete there?), female was expected...but Roberts?
Reward success and yes Wakenight was on the team just read the release. What happens to the XC coach Anderson's title?

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people who ask questions.

Long Beach State has a head cross country coach to hire. Patrick Wales-Dinan left LBST to take the distance coaching job at Harvard. Its a pretty good job. But distance coaches don't stay at Long Beach State for more than two or three years. Not sure if its the poor pay, or something else. I don't know who the front runner is. But cross country season starts in a little more than a week.
Couple good coaches without a home come to mind with ties to the west coast that don't have a home yet. Not sure if he's in the market, but Chris Shane (BYU, USF) seems like might be a good pick up.
I hope WBP takes down CU...even if it's at METS. CU missed the boat by passing on him.

Chris Shane is one of two candidates that is being interviewed by Long Beach State coach Andy Sythe for the distance coaching job there. I am not sure who the other person is, but this is a two horse race. School starts soon at LBST, and their first cross country meet is in 8 days. They better hire someone soon.
What about Army? What a joke! They are already in school with a meet in a week and no coach. Penn state seems to be the same.
Yale Interviewed 3 or 4 candidates. A couple DIII candidates and a one DI. Believe job was offered to the DIII candidates. One of them just took the Dartmouth job. Announcement should come soon.
Opening at Keene State in NH.
these hires are jokes this summer.

These are sad times in college track and field. Nearly every job posting should have a line next to the EOE statement at reads: "Experienced coaches need not apply" and "if you have a family....don't waste your time".
This is not a knock on any of the coaches that are being hired on a personal level, it just AMAZES me the number of coaches that I know who have very strong resumes with reagards to student retention, recruiting and producing results at conference and national levels that can't an opportunity. I suppose it does help that those that are getting hired can (and will) work for 30-35k.
And before anyone fires back - NO, I have a job that is way more stable then college coaching. After 20+ years in the business, those years are behind me.
Best of luck to all the coaches that have found a new home. 2014-15 should prove to be another fantastic year in track and field.
