I will not even read any of the post to state you are out of your mind. Do you think that in one season of coaching that someone makes difference in a 12 week period. You have no idea. The ground work was laid way before this. See where the program is in 4 years. Sorry but only time will tell how good the current coach is. My understanding is that most of the top 7 were seniors so that in itself should let you know the coaching legacy of the previous coach.
Barreau, you coached at a shitty D3 school and are now coaching at a more shitty D3 school.
Let it go man. No one cares.
I was embarrassed for you when I saw a video of you attending a CNU meet this fall and interacting with your former athletes. That was shameful as a coach. Move on. Fortunately, the coach they have overcame you grasping for relevance, when it was never really there.
Anyone who creates his own hashtag called #barreautrained clearly has some issues. Ego, ego, ego.
#barreautrained = Delusional.
Please explain what do you know? What have you ever done? Who have you ever coached? Who have you ever worked with? Come talk to me when you have answers and please if you think you know something better to keep it to yourself. Disappointed you are such an angry disappointed wannabe athlete. Good luck in whatever future direction you are in but best to keep your anger to yourself. Good day!

this doesn't surprise me at all. so pathetic.
He was leading the charge over the summer with all the protesting and stuff like that. if he actually cared about the kids on the team, he wouldn't have dragged them through that kind of ordeal. Doing that isn't fair to the next coach who has to clean up the drama that he left in his wake.
He should have just stepped aside gracefully and moved on if he cared about the kids on the team. he knew there was no way he was going to get his job back. He only cares about himself and his ego.
very shameful
everyone who was involved knew his stance. he said he would not get involved with it because it would look disingenuous to be leading the charge. It was 100% athletes and parents that lead the resistance against the decision, not him. Dont spread lies no matter your opinion of him or not. Yes the #barreautrained thing seems egotistical but the athletes came up with it and the tshirts they all wear, not him, he just ran with it after some time. Stop the slander smh

Coach Barreau recruited my son out of high school and I know some of the current runners of the team. The runners love Coach Barreau and felt awful for the way he was let go. He is a great guy and would do anything for his athletes. I would be happy is my son ran for any coach that wanted his athletes to succeed as much as he does. If he has a fault, it is that he tries too hard.

lmao i can't believe Barreau actually had the ego to come in here and talk himself up and take all credit away from the current coach. a couple posts here are definitely him. The OP didn't even bash him, but he still got jealous.
Yep you got it right you are pathetic! If you looked at the time I posted you would have realised I am in the Southern Hemisphere. What a ridiculous post this is. It really should be taken down as this is an attack on someone which in my opinion is totally unacceptable.
smh =
shake my head

Rumor has it that the new coach from Williams doesn't even do anything. She just sits in a lawn chair during practice and eats bagels. The guys and gals are mostly self coached. They pick up workouts posted for them three times at week at the entrance to the track on a fence post, left by a mysterious figure who seems to live in the woods. We've seen it at night, eating berries and bark for nourishment.
My question for the CNU team is: is this mysterious figure looking for an assistant coaching position? If so, could I offer it some money as long as it agrees to take a shower?
Yeah... I'm not the old coach, just someone who took 5 mins to look up very standards stats. My response was very objective, with strictly just stats pulled from tfrrs.... I know Sarah from when we were on the Bridgewater team together and while I think she could very well be a good coach, it's pretty obvious that this team is successful mostly due to the old coach.
Thanks Matt, great investigative work there Matt. Good luck to you Matt, sure Coe College will be a powerhouse in no time Matt.

So nothing Lagasse could have done in those 12 weeks could have done anything to help or hurt the team's performance? They were destined to get 3rd since the day that Barreau/you got canned?
You are delusional.

CNU will finish in the top 5..have a great lineup of runners 3-4 running sub 15 on nearing sub 14:30 type stuff. I mentioned last year I thought they could be a top ten finisher .. they came in 11th..
Predicted this finish over a year ago..
And Williams wasn’t ranked 4th in the preseason and went on to get 13th (which was actually a great performance given their season).
Having the pieces and putting them together are very different things. Especially when you are coming in to someone else’s team. Lagasse executed extremely well. Given the controversy here - the situation could have very easily blown up in her face. She kept the team together, kept them healthy, and peaked them at the right time.
She seems to be a much more level minded and mature coach than the previous one (given what has been said here). This doesn’t seem like a bad change.
Amazing to see the negative posts from people who clearly don't know much about CNU, the program, or the situation. You don't need to diminish the contributions of one coach to praise the other. Coach Barreau did a great job building up the program and getting both teams to buy in. Coach Lagasse came into a difficult situation and did a great job improving individual performances, again, with both teams this season. As a parent, I'm thankful that both coaches put the students first.

Finally someone with some sense. The new coach knocked it out of the park. I don't think Wingard is regretting his decision at this point in time.
also worth mentioning that CNU averaged 25:58 at prenats and 25:01 at nationals - that's damn good improvement in a month
