2024 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Keep in mind that this time of year HR departments are scrambling to get the official paperwork done - especially required paperwork.

Plus the sudden retirement of Anson Dorrance (UNC Women's Soccer) make have an effect. Coaches wondering about retirement may do so right before the season so that a long time assistant will at least get a chance as the Interim.

Every year I laugh at posts getting downvotes in this thread. Is it bitter applicants upset that they never got an interview? Do coaches not like seeing other coaches succeed? I noticed that many of the recent downvoted announcements were younger coaches in their early thirties or younger, it's not their fault that they take advantage of good opportunities to grow
Why are 7 people disapproving of Denison hiring a younger head coach? There can't be that many people who were absolutely devastated to not take over a program that got 26th at their D3 Regionals? I know negativity is inherent to the identity of this website but geeze

Did Boston College hire any new staff this year?

Joanna should hire D. Smith back. He recruited and coach Rai initially.

Did Boston College hire any new staff this year?

Nothing yet. But they have been out there looking for an AC and should have (24/25) one soon.

*thinking caps on*
Now why would she hire a hurdles coach...if she's a hurdles coach? And currently coaches Rai... to an olympic gold...that he previously did not achieve without her guidance...

Unless you're trolling lol, then *thinking caps off*

After the same question being asked on multiple pages of the same schools- dared and did. Choke on those spaghettiOs.

Elizabeth Danis to BC

Ian Frazier to FSU

Amy Rudolph to Tennessee with Brian Biekert to follow as assistant

Is Tennessee splitting the mens and women’s distance position? I thought Duncan was the Head XC coach - has that already changed?

This guy coached 5 D3 conference finalists in 3 years. Thats the highlight of his resume?

Jeremy Heinold has been hired to take over NCAA D2 Erskin College. Previously (2023-2024 year) was a SC Charter high school coach.

Rumors coming from Lincoln that Ryun Godfrey has accepted a position leaving Nebraska for Ok State as a new assistant distance coach. This will be his 4th college in 5 years for coaching. Major red flag territory

We have to get rid of these trash coaches. It’s sad how many of them get recycled and reused. It’s time to move on from some coaches.

More coaches turning a blind eye to the director being a drug cheat at Tennessee.

K State, Arizona State, Nebraska, and now Oklahoma State. Where will he take his ingenuity next? Heard he would get pissed at his athletes tryna talk to him about training, let days or weeks go by ignoring athletes unless approached by them, and even fat shame all women and men. When you’ve been to 4 places within 5 years, it’s not the team, it’s a you problem. Anyone who has Ryun Godfrey as their next distance coach, I fear for your well being. He doesn’t care about you at all. The fact he will inherit an NCAA title next year with OK state is sad

Okay I’ll chime in because I know Ryun. This is a little off base. He’s certainly a weird and socially awkward man that struggles to relate and connect to people. In my experience a lot of distance nerds are that way. He’s not fat shaming or ignoring athletes or creating a toxic culture at any of his schools. It’s a little unfair to pile on baseless accusations.
