2014 College Track and Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Stoker will go to TTU. Perfect fit for him to build a competitive program now that it is fully funded.

UTK will hire a name coach, but it won't be Vince Anderson or perhaps any other name you've already mentioned here. Bottom line is that UTK needs a recruiter. The flagship state university has let a ton of national level Tennessee high schoolers get away over the last decade, and that has to stop. Why do they leave the state? There's nothing desirable in state at that top level. The best track program year in and year out has been MTSU instead.

The Frozen Food Isle in Northern Europe. It is home to over 30 different species of tropical fish and has been used as a hunting ground for whales the last 2 centuries.

How about Beth alford simpsonsmitherson?

for Tenn??

Nah, she has had her head so far up JJs butt in the past that she'd probably try to hire him as an assistant.

complete bs

when does an SEC school rely on state kids? Tenn recruits the country, the planet, or they should. If you are picking someone who can keep tenn recruits you are going to have a horrible program. Tenn is like a middle of the pack state for hs track. You have to be able to recruit florida, and tx, cali, ny, nj, pa, maryland, jamaica, trinidad, the bahamas, nigeria, and probably half of Africa and S. America.

Lol Tennessee.

Xc coach

You're willing to let sub-9:00 guys go elsewhere every year but then not recruit them from other states? National class decathletes? 10.50 100 meter runners? 4:10 milers? Get off it. If you can't recruit your own state, you're not going to own anyone else's either.

Hopefully Tennessee does not go the cheap route as it did with the last coach they hired. They could have gotten a Hall who went to Kentucky but instead they went with a guy who doesn't know his ass from his elbow and screwed up a few kids who were rolling with the previous coach. Not sure what is going on over at there, but they can't seem to attract any big time coaches. Can't imagine that money is an issue, then again maybe it is; they just ran out a black head coach and decided to not renew another maybe he was making too much money for the product which he was putting out or he was insubordinate. Don't know the guy who they said went to the AD and dug the hole for JJ, but he seem like a "good ole country boy" and so does the guy who came from Saban nation.

Perfect replacement: Brian O'Neal from Mississippi

Stoker is a great guy. Brian O'Neal is not. O'neal has his own program to ruin in Mississippi. He won't be at TN. Hope Stoker doesn't get run out of town. He's not head job material, but the kids who don't think he's a snake trust him. He's done a damn good job with some athletes. Those currently suspicious of his sneaky-ness will calm down after their fuse stops burning for JJ( who is also a decent chap, but got in over his head at TN and stopped putting out ). Whomever said TN will hire a "name" coach for head is right. If they can attract big name applications, that is who they should and shall hire.

Would someone please explain the "Michigan" opening? I've search the UM and NCAA job sites and nothing is posted.

TCU Distance? How did you hear about that? Where is Liz Wort going?

HOpe everyone saw this. Indiana assts make more than Ohio State head: http://dailyrelay.com/why-is-head-coach-ed-bethea-leaving-ohio-state/

I'm pretty sure the SUU job is not a formality.

Is Terry Winston out at Louisville? They are seeking a sprint/hurdle/relays coach.

Who is out at SIU Carbondale?
