Is it confirmed that Herbster turned down UNC? Interviews are still going on, things are moving slow there.

Herbster turned down UNC and will be announced back at Texas today. Roberts will be promoted at UNC. Heard it here first.
Someone said no, she's moving to pursue something outside of coaching

Is he coaching the jumps or sprints at Texas next?
Lol, pay attention dude. Watson was hired to Texas today and it was all over this thread. So I'm going to assume that Herbster turning down UNC was just a rumor. Where else would he go? Harlis will be out in a year and could easily take the director's job if he gets his foot in the door right now.
Harlis meaders is the worst thing to ever happen the UNC track program. Everything he touches turns to crap. There is no excuse for UNC to be fighting for last in the ACC. For real, if this guys blows up this next hire then everyone should accuse this guy of sabotage. I don't know what he is waiting for either, Harlis let MVA know he wasn't going to be rehired months ago
Bridget Franek - if she is hired at Oregon then every woman distance coach in the country should be furious. There are dozens of more qualified women coaches out there and choosing someone with almost no experience is just wrong.
So who are the favorites to take over for BT at VT?
His Assistant?
Herbster?
Vanhoy?
Bobby Lockhart?
Brien Bell or Adam Smith?
Jason Drake?
Joe Lynn?
I could keep going, but does anyone have any idea?
USC just sent out rejection emails. Any word on who is interviewing?
vt- herbster
uva- dunn/reck
unc - adam smith !!
The Stride Report (who actually first broke the BT story) apparently has a source that says the assistant coach will be VT's next head coach

James Madison is sending out notices that they have made their hire. Announcement should be coming soon.
Does anybody know how the hiring process is? Like after you apply why does it take so long to hear back or be rejected?
Great hire by Oregon in hiring Ben, looking forward to see what he can accomplish.
Very curious to see where Herbster ends up, I think he did a decent job at Texas. It’s always going to be a challenge competing in the Big 12 with Iowa State/Oklahoma State in XC and mid/long distance.
I would not be surprised if Bobby Lockhart ended up at Virginia. He’s from Virginia, knows/knew the staff well and would have more coaching responsibilities than he does in Stillwater.

if you have to apply you aren't getting it.
Oregon made a hire that made sense. You on this board are looking at results and results alone. Let’s sit at the “keep it real” table for a moment.
UVA - Dunn/ Rek
Unc - Herbster, Lockhart, Smith
VT- ?????
Dunn said he wants out of coaching but will jump back in. Rek from PSU might join but it will be Mack from Utah possibly.
Now let’s talk UNC , every name on this board has what in common? All distance schools except Texas. Texas has maybe 1/4 scholarships that Syracuse and Ok state have. Yet Texas had 4 NCAA qualifiers . Syracuse has three distance coaches and ok state has three distance coaches. So why are you comparing the one coach at Texas with all the others. They just hired two distance coaches at Texas, to do the job of one and they are getting paid a fortune. No excuses that is the sport , but look at the numbers.
VT - will go small and do it quick.
Are you talking about the men’s coach at Princeton? You realize he lost the job at UVA for inappropriate relationships with female athletes. Do you honestly think they would hire him back? He’s lucky to have a job. UVA is where distance runners in VA go to get fat and slow..
Good move for BT financially. Maybe the Taylors will go back to VT now that there is a new AD.
Why in the world would you hire Roberts as the lead distance coach. Meaders would be throwing up the white flag. They are not good at all.
