2018 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Didn't Florida State just sweep the ACC men's and women's indoor titles? So should ALL of the ACC coaches retire since they, apparently, are all bad?

Why are you all even engaging in that post? Stupid

Any word on when the Eastern Washington distance job will be posted or what they doing after the firing of Chris Shane. This is distance coach #2 to be fired in a row from EWU under fishy circumstances....

It says in 1 article they are searching for a coach but I haven't seen a post....did I miss it???

one things absolutely for sure it wont be Paul l. from Suu.

The word has it he's in for a big promotion internally sooner rather than later due to outstanding performance ..

Any insight on some of the recent small college openings? Central College, St. Olaf, Luther College, Briar Cliff, Agnes Scott?

Truly open or spoken for?

Back to the jobs

Who would you consider the top 5 young pole vault coaches in the NCAA right now?

The "say your name" call out on letsrun is silly. Nobody says their name. If they do, it very well could be disingenuous. For instance, I am Mike Pence. I love running. Keep on trolling, trolls.

Matt Ingebritsen and Artie Gulden are officially in as head coaches of Track and Field and Cross Country, respectively.

Coach from Appalachian State is retiring after 47 years of Coaching. Outside hire? Or promote within?

I'm thinking they promote from within with the current Head Distance guy

Well Matt at Utah State finally got what he wanted. But stabbing people in the back and being disloyal will in the end hurt you. He should be ashamed of himself.

Thought about your question. Thought about who are good PV coaches IMHO. None of them are young! Too hard to tell if a young person will end up being a good coach or not, too difficult to collect data on when there aren't enough results yet, and too hard to know everyone around the country who has not been in the game for that long. So then I thought about some vault guys that I think are good, and none of them are especially young, besides just one. They are just good. Bryan Compton, Arkansas Derek Miles, South Dakota Sean Brady, Texas A&M Dennis Mitchell, Akron Brian Porter, Ole Miss Here are a couple of others that don't have the big school or D-I names behind them but seem to be very good vault coaches: Roger Haynes, Monmouth College Tim Winder, North Central College I am sure there are plenty more out there.

The administration and track staff are so lazy and incompetent that the job just might never actually get posted. I mean this is an admin that had two distance coach scandals in what... 4 yrs? Best guess is that whoever is the interim just remains the interim for 20 or so yrs and nobody ever notices

Is this post only referring to men's teams? Minnesota's women's team was co-big ten champions in 2016 outdoors and just won Big Tens indoors and finished 15th at NCAA's indoors with a national champion in the weight throw and several All-Americans and their HC isn't anywhere near retirement age, so I don't see why they would be on this list. The men's team currently is a different story (different coaches too.)

You can’t make a pv coach list and not include Bartolina from Alabama or Curran from UCLA. They may not exactly be young but still two of the best!

And you have to include Tom Hays at Kansas.

Monmouth College is not a real College. It does not even qualify as a U.C.L.A. (University Closest to the Lakewood Area)
