You missed:

Providence

Miami of Ohio

Probably the two biggest

Any one want to speculate on the providence spot? I assume they hire from within and hire a new assistant.

Any details on Duquesne?

Miami of Ohio just looks like they are re-structuring and downsizing from six coaches and with two head coaches to five coaches and one director. Not surprising. Who's out?

I would bet Coach Mandrell is done, which is too bad because Phillips is over-rated for sure.

Eastern Washington?

Clarion will hire a female

I was told that Miami is really open and they are looking outside.

I have been told that they pretty know who they want, and are going through the required postings, etc. Also, I noticed that you can't find the Duquesne posting anywhere on their website. If you apply through the NCAA site, it states that they are looking for local interest.....unless your willing to pay for your own relocation expenses.

Clarion started interviews this week

Any word on what is happening at Keene State.

Head Coach of Mens and Womens XC/Track at Carnegie Mellon

Several Interim Coaches should make for an interesting spring/summer interview season!

any word on the miami job/s?

I think it's embarassing that schools like Heidelberg and Marietta (as two examples) have ample time to hire true head coaches this summer and fall and decide hire inexpensive young coaches. Track and Field/Cross Country squads in this conference can (and do) bring in tons of athletes (both good and bad prospects) that these schools need to survive financially (as both are not exactly great academically or pulling in students as is common for most of these OAC schools and I think Heidelberg only graduates like 50% of its students with a horrible yearly attrition rate). Or, you get schools where coaches are just complacent in their positions and will never get fired and barely do anything - just keep their programs floating along, just don;y cause a problem and don;t worry about promting the sport.

Track and Field = save money = work your butt off and leave every few years and then save money on the coaching staff.

The Marietta thing was botched pretty badly. I know of a couple of guys, with successful head coaching experience, applied for the job, were legitimately interested, but didn't hear from Marietta until November. By that time, the season had already started and it was too late. Marietta knew about this opening in mid August and to contact potential candidates in late Oct or early November is awful.

Any word on Yale throws coaching position?

Northwood University in Florida is looking for an assistant coach. Anyone have any news on Eastern Kentucky or Miami of Ohio?
