Everyone who comes to this forum probably knows who some of the best collegiate coaches out there are already. And lots of people come on here and bash plenty of coaches for not being good enough. So here is the challege: Create a list of the best collegiate coaches out there who's names don't get tossed around much. Let's break down the events like this: 1. XC/Distance/Mid Distance; 2. Sprints/Hurdles; 3. Throws; 4. Jumps
1. Josh Gerstere
2. Kelly McFadden
3. Lincoln Hester
4. Chip Hidunga
Never heard of them. Try again.
1. L'Carpetron Dookmariot
2. Tyroil Smoochie-Wallace
3. Beezer Twelve Washingbeard
4. Dan Smith
They're not real. At least, not all of them.
I see this thread going nowhere fast. If we haven't heard of them, how the hell are we supposed to list them? I'm sure they are out there somewhere though. Like life on other planets, maybe they've already come and gone and its just bad timing that we will never get to know them before our own extinction.

I'll go with lesser known coaches who are very good. Many have heard of these guys but not major names/programs:
1. Brad Wick-San Jose State
2. Ben Dalton-New Orleans
3. Justin St. Clair-NDSU
4. Ryan Grinnell-Utah State
This could be a good thread if people would actually mention where the person coaches, why he or she is so good, etc.
I'd think high schoolers would love to know places they could look if they're not good enough to run for the big names.
Brad Wick is not very good of a coach. Look how much better Boise got immediately after canning him...
Brad had very little athletic aid to work with. He coached Marisa Howard to an NCAA berth as a soph and Emma Bates to 4th place at NCAA's (better than her finish this year). He coached at least 1 athletes under 8:50 in the steeple and helped Aaron Back and David Elliot go from unknown walk-ons to regional qualifiers. He exceeded expectations every year. Ihmels is phenomenal but that does not mean Brad was not good. Plus, all of the contributing athletes at BSU this season were Brad's recruits. Look at the results and stop with the ignorance.

why'd tom go from USF to saint mary's? not that he shouldn't have, i'm just curious. both schools only have XC, correct?
Yes another good one! Also, Pat McCurry out of College of Idaho is very good.
Tom Akers at Eastern Illinois has built a dynasty there. The dominate their conference and send kids to the NCAA meet every year. Great for a smaller mid-major type program with what I am guessing is very limited funding.
