2014 College Track and Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Just saw the associate head coach position open at Harvard. Is Kebba out, going somewhere else? It says it is for distance however.

Makes a lot of sense to leave an Ivy league degree for a prestigious shot at what would amount to an extremely small Nike shoe deal.

How many paid coaches does the NCAA allow Oregon to have?

They already have NCAA maximum of 6 (actually more!)

How do they possibly have room on staff for Blood?!

Many schools get around it by hiring Director of Ops, Recruiting Coordinators, Equipment Managers, etc. While these positions technically arent supposed to coach at all, they usually do in some capacity (assisting the actual coach...)

Correct, which is violation of NCAA rules,

Im rooting for Hayes to get Columbia Job

Murray State has been filled, according to the rejection e-mail.......

Murray State position filled.

Oberlin has been filled as well.

Notre Dame Associate Head Coach, Alan Turner heading down to Oxford, MS. Welcome Coach!

Great pick up for Ole Miss. Turner has done an amazing job at Notre Dame.

It was a formality to promote graduate assistant to full-time.

Great move for him. Might bring some relevance to Ole Miss sprinting again.

Best of luck Alan.

If I had to take guess for Columbia, I would say either internal hire or Kevin Jermyn from Duke. The reason I say Kevin Jermyn is because he has experience recruiting in a strong academic environment. He consistently got great recruits (although he didnt do much with them). However, I think if this was the case, the announcement would have come out at the same time as his resignation. Thats why I am leaning towards internal hire, maybe Liam BP.

someone keeps writing on this thread Liam BP... they mean Will BP, right? hope wbp gets it, but not sure if wood left on bad terms might hurt him.

Ah yes, I meant WBP, I always mix up the two. Probably because LBP is still running competitively and I hear the name more often

Wendel Angel has been chosen for the Head Coaching position at TN Tech.

Why did he leave FA&MU?

I needed to come back and point out the obvious that Wendell Angel is not from Murfreesboro. Seems like a decent choice. FAMU teams were more competitive and complete than TTU teams. No men's track will still hurt them. Will the roster have a lot of non-Americans on it? That's a question.
