Concept: Sheffield brings on a coach who pushed drugs, admin is breathing down Sheffield’s neck after that coach is fired and he barely still has his job. Sheffield “involves” athletes in coach choosing process to show the admin he’s a Good Guy, but doesn’t actually give a singular crap what the athlete says. Keeps his dictatorship but gets the admin off his ass. Sounds like something him and many other D1 coaches would do at least to the outside eye

If you’re going to push drugs might as well be something effective. Pushing ibuprofen is plain dumb.

So did UCD hire Emma as the head XC coach to make it appear like a female is in charge when the reality is her husband is going to play a big role?

I don't really know where you are getting your info but the athletes had no say outside of a couple of them meeting the potential candidates. Then the team was informed that Emma had been hired. Please stop spreading fake news
You have your facts and I have mine. Yours sounds like the fake news to me.

Back when Wartenburg got hired I was in the room for interviews along with the women's captain and Dee. Obviously Dee had her own interviews with the potentials as did other admin I'm sure. So while from our perspective we might have been "very involved" we were not actually very involved. We didn't get to pick the short list. The three of us voted at the end, and, surprise, Dee voted first, then the women's captain, then me (if I remember correctly). This gave us the impression that we mattered, and could "outvote" Dee, but of course that was not going to happen.

Sounds like something similar could have happened here, where the athletes are saying they were involved a lot because they got paid some lip service and got to sit in on some interviews, but in reality they were not actually involved in the real decision. If admin is at all like it was when I was around, the athletes were not involved in the real decision, but they were part of the process to increase the perception that they were involved and to get buy-in.

You all really think Sheffield would let the athletes choose the coach after cutting more than half the team? Nah. Next.
Administration didn’t allow Sheff in the process. Athletes were very envolved

I doubt it's true that Sheff wasn't allowed into the process, but if it is true that indicates to me the admin is looking past him for a new head coach. Maybe Drew Petersen, now knowing what we do (also doubtful, but I'm just stirring the pot here to see what turns up).

re: hotpants

Bump...apparently they made a hire for the head coach. Hopefully it works out!
