What does it take for a D1 coach to lose their job? In football you see teams that do not perform well lose their jobs after a while. Athletic Directors do not seem concerned with Cross Country and Track coaches, no matter the outcome, they would like to see the programs perform well, but if they do not, still no changes seem to be made. If a scandal occurs, of course a coach will lose their job, but, barring a scandal, at a mid-major D1 university, how would a Cross country/track coach lose their job?
