I wasn’t even considering distance. Everyone else is gone. There was another distance coach who they let go. Basically they are only keeping one distance coach. Not a good look only having one distance coach moving forward. A Olympic sprinter head coach who is going to treat distance like they do at USC. UCLA cross country was bad before and now it’s literally non existent.
FSU should be happening this week.
UCLA’s men’s top distance runner Michael Mireles went in the portal right after track and is transferring. I’ve heard rumors of a few places. Anyone know where he landed ?
Michael did not graduate from UCLA, he will return for his final bit of schooling before transferring

This is not true. Mireles is leaving UCLA to graduate and compete for another school next fall.
NAU Question for MADDHATTER: who might takes Becca Pflugrad's place as assistant CC coach?
Prediction. Baylee Mires.
There are definitely a couple of coaches she has worked for that would call Mike Smith to tell him not to hire her. Her reputation has soured in the last few years!

Love the embellishment!!!
During the 2021-22 season, Mires got her collegiate coaching career started at Notre Dame where she functioned as the assistant women’s distance coach. Her brief stay in South Bend yielded nine NCAA All-Americans, 10 NCAA First Round entries, seven All-ACC honorees, and a fifth-place finish for the women’s cross country team at the 2021 NCAA Cross Country Championships.
That was quite the start to a college coaching career. Better that even ol' Johnny McD!!!
So "she did it all by herself"? That would mean that she recruited those athletes well before getting the job. I dare say Matt Sparks had something to do with that.

Matt Kane is already a crap show at FSU. How do you justify getting rid of one of the best jump coaches in the NCAA . I hope a big Sec school like Arkansas picks him up . Coach Levan sands had the most productive season out of every coach on that coaching staff. The man group scored 22 points in the Lj at the Acc Conference meet . The man scored 23 points in the triple jump and scored 45 points at the conference meet.He had two guys make it to nationals in the triple jump, and 3 guys qualify to nationals.Two guys scored at nationals.You coach a walk on kid to a runner up at nationals and have him become Olympic trials champion.How do you get rid of a coach after a year like that.
Sands also did really well with the kids at Northern Colorado. My guess is that he probably caused some friction or tension with Kane or there were some potential rules violations or something along those lines.
