College Track and Field coaching is a Tough business. TCU gets rid of an experienced, well rounded throws coach with proven success at the Power 5 level - with probably only a couple years left to get to retirement, and hires a coach with one year experience. Not sure if the situation is the same, but experienced and successful jumps coach also has left TCU (17 years at LATech, and 12 years at TCU) in which he has PROVEN success. He has landed at South Carolina from what I understand. Is someone threatened by older, knowledgeable and established coaches OR is it easier to get less experienced coaches that you can "mold"?
OR was that super experienced and qualified coach a jerk who the whole staff hated?
The previous TCU throws coach just went to Evansville which isn't a good program at all, let alone their throws program. He didn't do much the past few years at TCU either. Had a top ranked women's Javelin that hasn't done anything at TCU let alone develop since she got there.

I wonder if they will hire an assistant coach for XC/distance? Looks like Hill is a sprints/jumps coach. Interesting choice as CWU has had success with their existing sprints/jumps coaches.
It looks like they don't have enough kids to even field a full team? All their meets on their schedule say "competed as individuals" and they didn't even compete at their own conference meet last year?
