Great hire for Luther. He'll be a recruiting machine.

Althea Thomas takes over both genders at UGA[/quote]

I thought Harnden coached Irby[/quote]

Show how much you pay attention to the coaching profession, she is one of the hardest working recruiters/coaches in the game. she must be a luck magnet, every power 5 stop she has made, they win a NCAA championship or bring home a top 3 finish. Hell I would hire her just for that.

No one wants to work for Fetzer, especially after he did Morgan dirty, thats whats going on.

i thought UNC was VanHoy's dream job.

Can't speak for Vanhoy but if Carolina were his dream job it's not a dream situation right now. I'm not sure Meaders is that strong and the program has been down. So Vanhoy leaves stable Ole Miss for his "dream job" and then the HC goes? Carolina is too volatile right now for him to make that move if he even wants it anymore.

Wasn't Althea at one time married to Loren Seagrave?

Relax, ,nobody said anything bad about Althea. Harnden was associate head coach and definitely at one point coached both genders:

"Harnden will join Don Babbitt as the Bulldogs' two associate head coaches. Harnden will coach men and women's sprints and hurdles at Georgia."

Harnden was her boss. If he wasn't writing workouts for the women, he was at least overseeing what Althea did.

Here we go wrote:

This has been a conversation on here the last two years. The HC at Missouri is not getting fired.

I think there’s a better chance of Lebron going to play for the Pelicans, let’s post factual information thanks

Halter , must have friends in IT or higher place to get his thread removed. Really we can talk about lazy HCs anymore.

With USAs done can we know expect some quicker news in the hiring world? the key culprits holding any major movement up are UND, UNC and LSU. But one would think assistant jobs at oregon and Texas would have moved very quickly in their short time span. Kentucky not striking out for a head quickly or even preparing for the exit of Flo shows poor leadership. The sluggishness and suspense is killing me... I hope it lasts. Will any job be filled by july?

Harden WAS NOBODY's boss. Get your facts straight Ken fans. Not sure where you are getting these assumptions. Petros separated men from women after 2017 season and got better results. Althea coached all the women by herself.

ok track Queens, we get it, she is her own woman, geez, drop it already

So we all know this business is all about who you know. In your opinion who are the best coaches to help secure a job?

Sprint?

Field?

Distance?

Distance and sprints. I would prefer going through sprints coaches. Distance coaches will usually land you at jobs that are more prone to be distance dominant which is bad news if you are not in that event area. Just remember that good jobs do not open. Good jobs have their people sought out. So get that network started.

If you are looking for a Sprint/Multi/Field job... hard to do better than Dan Pfaff.

Heard Boo Schexnayder goes to bat for jumps coaches

Where did Cole go?

With LaVerne now open, expect to hear soon that Kevin Reid is the new head coach at San Marcos.
