Interesting, 3 of these names were on iowa state staff at some point (Smith, Ihmels, Grove-McDonough)

Ihmels shouldn’t even be in coaching. Absurd in the extreme for him to be at Stanford. They’ve lost, what, 6 or 7 kids who bailed out of Boise this year and for good reason.

You new here??

I hope your not serious with this list.

Sorry but - Full turnover at NAU coming soon.

The guy has had success at both Iowa St and Boise St. Sometimes athletes leaving is healthy.

If you mean in the best interest of their mental and physical health then yes.

I heard from one of their assistants they are all being offered to go with. Unless NAU pays up to keep one of the distance assistants on as head. Doubt it though.

this will make me die if true

Why? He is a successful coach and can run a program.

Mike Smith is solid, but his sprints and throws coach do not compare to stanfords.

They would do just fine there. 90% of power 5 is just recruiting the best kids and Stanford can do that with anyone.

You do realize his throws Coach was at Washington and did a great job as a coach and in recruiting? Well you obviously do not, but Jason is really really good! Amin is good too, so Stanford would be fine either way.

Jason is an average mid major coach, at best. did poor job at washington, poor job at CSUN, should've stayed in colorado where he belongs

amin has made a career riding other great coaches coat tales. from Lucas Mackay at SELU, to Zeb at Stanford, who has he recruited? who has he developed? just redoing what the coach from the year before has done only works for a year or two.

Wow. And the carousel continues. However, I find it unlikely that that NAU will be have budget to hire a big name that’s regularly talked about. Would imagine a majority of the transfers.

I don't believe the NAU coach is leaving.

Jason did a bad job at Washington and a fair job at CSUN. So for at flag who knows. He got an ok transfer in this year and has one ok other thrower to do something with. But history is not on his side. Amin is indeed someone who has benefitted greatly from his predecessors. Jobs he had with no help prior he ran into the ground and actually lost recruits transferring out.

Bingo. You get it. Stanford would be out of their mind to hire Ihmels, and so would any other university. He was run out of Ames and needs to be given the bums rush from Boise.

Speculation on Memphis sprints? Posted for $40-45k

UNC or USF working on assistants yet?
