Just heard that Garnham was let go at Notre Dame.
Does this mean that Carlson is not safe either? I thought all assistants would be retained at this point. Guess not.

Ninow is easily a top 5 throws coach in the country. Interesting to see if he wants to coach at a school that only wants distance runners
Notre Dame has sprints distance and jumps position positings
Y’all have terrible measurements of people’s egos
She coached at Stanford, morans.

No doubt this is a world class runner with a good history of coaching... but can TEXAS REALLY only find a HS coach?!?!? This is crazy!!!!!
I wouldn’t hire a plumber to rescue the boys in Thailand!!!! If you have access to the BEST ($, school, academic prestige) you HIRE the best.
Unless you don’t give AF about distance points, then we’ll done ??
Hate to say it, but some (“some” being the key word) of the best coaches come from the high school and high school club level. For example let’s look at Michael Norman. He had an AMAZING collegiate career at USC don’t get me wrong, but he was in the US Olympic Trials 200m semifinals his senior year of HS.
His freshman year of HS he ran several open 400s but his best time was only 49.54 and 22.6. One year later as a high school sophomore he went 46.94 and 20.82.
Natural talent alone will not take make you drop your times that quickly, part of it is the coaching. If you look at these big Power 5 schools most of them can recruit to there school which is easy if you have a 150-250K recruiting budget but they can’t develop the talent once they get there. HS coaches have no choice but to develop and they do it with half the flexibility of most collegiate programs.
Think of it this way.... if your recruiting one of the best athletes in the nation, who is it that coached that athlete to those times helped them to those times that make you want to recruit them to begin with? If not a parent, the high school and/or club coach.

Would not classify him as one of the top at all.

Oh, chick distance. So Carlson is safe. That's what we thought.
Carlson sucks, arrogant and def of right place right time.

I heard Herbster is taking the ND job. He was just waiting for UNC to offer to use as leverage.
Yea Carlson is of all kinds of deuschness, at right place, right time...

OK, but he did just sign the #1 distance class. Blind squirrel or nut?
Notre Dame situation is dubious.
1) The admin told folks in Eugene they want head coach to be a director with no coaching. Good luck with that model. Further, Sparks did a good job with women, but has never directed anything or anyone before.
2) Salaries are low so nobody good will come (or stay). If Sparks really isn’t coaching, that means multiple people are making $45,000 to be main XC coaches and live in south bend?
3) Carlson is mediocre at best. Turner and Sparks both dogged him out to other coaches on multiple occasions. Guys will be non factor.
4) I’ve heard Turner was unpopular with alumni and that contributed largely to his demise. Sparks was his #2. He better figure that situation out better than his mentor.
5) I would not be surprised if Turner filed a suit against them.
Edrick has put together a great staff and they will kick major butt in short amount of time! He doesn’t give much of a hoot about distance fellas. Ya an occasional scorer here and there - but come on. Of course he will hire someone he knows from past if possible. It’s callled trust. It’s all in the sprints- field events to win championships! Go Longhorns!
Flo has hired :
Zeb for throws
Pattie for distance women
??? For distance men
??? For sprints
??? For jumps
Anymore ideas on who the remaining hires are?

Floreal is missing the boat. In Texas, UT gets the top Texas HS recruits for pennies. He could have his pick which means scorers.
Sprints are occupied in Texas. He has to recruit against Carl Lewis at Houston (and an easier school to get into). For 400m runners he has to recruit against Pat Henry and way better facilities.
If he wants to win at UT his path was distance runners for very little $ and field with a few hurdlers thrown in who can sprint.
If he goes all in on sprints it’s going to backfire. Texas should be too 3 at NCAA’s every year.
