2022 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Newell is one of the best coaches in the country…

Nah, the Arkansas track Instagram posted it

OK great! Has NOTHING to do with my comment/point regarding impropriety.

If you have inside information that this is the case or know something, then report it if you care this much and think something shady is happening. Otherwise you are just speculating. You have no idea what kind of money this individual may have saved to live off of, if he plans to work part time somewhere else (would only have 4 throwers to coach it appears, so it’s very logical he could), etc….

C’Mon man, we all know you are the douchey little ops guy running around following Buck, worrying about your 5k PR from HS, hobby jogging the local trails and defending suspect razorback dealings…but keep fighting the good fight man - your passion is admirable, if not misguided. At least with those points from other peoples roster arky just bought maybe your team will have a better chance not to flame out of the top-10 like usual.

now back to jobs!

You are literally implying that they are doomed since their coach is a volunteer, just because he is a volunteer doesn’t mean he is bad. He would 110% have many opportunities for full time D1 jobs. But he must have something else that is bringing him to Arkansas. Either family, some other side job, or he is next in line for the Arkansas job. Newell is one of the best coaches in the nation and they have the greatest transfer trio ever

Maybe he will get a $45K summer job at Tyson Chicken ??

Some old timers remember that gig.

Ah yes - the "job" with no work involved. Silly the sport has come to this. Bet they are so proud of themselves for figuring out this "creative funding". It will all catch up.

I heard he got an NIL Deal

Arkansas are the biggest cheats in the ncaa. This is just another example. It will certainly catch up with them. An investigation into their program will likely begin soon.

bruh there’s no investigation. the NCAA barely exists rn. you think track is on their concern list??

Y’all do realize the SEC is rewriting the rules as we speak right? IF something IS going on extraneous of the old rules…the SEC is fixing that in a hurry. And that’s a BIG if. Another likely scenario is just that this guy doesn’t want his name associated with a mid major school when this whole thing collapses & there are only 2-3 super conferences left standing. Playing the long game with his career…better to stay in the SEC than try to get back in

What's the word at Lehigh? Promotion within or hiring from the outside for Head Track and Field.

Do you have a source to support there being an opening there? There doesn't seem to be any evidence of him leaving/resigning/getting terminated. His profile is still on their website, and there is nothing anywhere on Lehigh's website or social media to support him being gone.

Athletic Director sent an email to athletes on the team.

What is Illinois doing? In house or who are they reaching out to?

TCU has been quiet also. Any rumor?
