2014 College Track and Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Good for PSU. Keep the FSU crap at FSU.

Couldn't have agreed more. The PSU administration/administrator got it right. Unlike some of the positions which were filled earlier in the year where the administrators don't know shit about track and field and hire and keep either people they like, people who kiss ass or people who have the same preference as they do.

Any one know where they are at with the ASU position?

Great answer! That is hilarious. Ole miss will not be attractive until ONeal is gone. That guy is so much of what is wrong with the NCAA track and field all wrapped into one shady person.

Probably too expensive to fire him. Why pay his contract off plus another coaches salary, when it's going to be next to impossible for anyone to have success until a new facility is built. If there's any truth to the rumors about the violations, and the athletic department is able to cut ties for free, that's another story. If there was violations they've probably been brought forward by now. The guy has let too many coaches go, for all of them to leave quietly.

Is that considered a government job. Are the coaches government employees, privy to the benefits?

Hey Coach111 and Coach222. Go empty the dehumidifier in your mama's basement. We don't want your porn collection (though the pages are already stuck together) to get damp and for your computer to get moisture damage. I mean, what would you do if you couldn't be a "no nothing" on letsrun...?

No...absolutely not. He went through a couple of month process. They didn't give it to Gondak. He IS the best fit for PSU...and, yes, fit does matter.

Maybe because they get to train at one of the nicest highschools in the state. How many SEC schools can say that?

Even if he only stayed 2 years he's doing better than the rest of the staff.

Why would anyone athlete want to come now if the average tenure of an assistant is only 1 year?

Gondak was at Toledo during their cheating scandal in the mid 1990s (giving benefits to athletes). Hence, he left the program. Did he ever receive implication or punishment in this cheating scandal?
