2019 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Ben dalton to Baylor. This dude didn’t run run track then held shavers clipboard for two years. Turned that into a head job (fail) now gets another power 5 job. Only track and field would hand these jobs to a glorified GA who never did anything.

Anyone know of anything in the Toledo Head Coach search? Interviews starting soon?

Dalton did a very good job with very few resources at UNO. He's a talented coach who has put in the time and effort to get where he is. Nice hire by Baylor.

Western Michigan is hiring within.

Add Wake Forest, that’s still open.

Boston University- Head

Western Kentucky- Head and possibly staff

UNC Chapel Hill- possibly bringing in his staff

Arizona State- assistant women’s sprints, jumps and operations

University of Memphis- sprints

University of South Florida- possibly bringing in his staff

University of Southern Cal- Jumps

App State- throws

Texas A&M- sprints

Savannah State- sprints

University of Maryland- Jumps

UC Davis- Head

Fresno State- Head

Jackson State- ?

Austin Peay- ?

Campbell University- ?

University of Georgia- ?

Wake Forest Sprints?

Long time reader first time writing- worst hire of the summer. Ben is a joke of a coach and person. Just try sitting down with the person and you’ll see. Kids hated him, coaches hated him and still unsure how someone so unsuccessful keeps landing jobs.

Add Rutgers throws

Take Austin Peay off the list

Lol. New orleans was trash for any D1 program. Keep on living off those shaver clipboard years Ben.

I believe the poster is referencing Andrea Grove-McDonough (former UNC coach). As for where she is heading I have no idea.

Guesses would be Toledo, Clemson and possibly Stanford?

If Stanford doesn’t hire internally, then that will open up a position also.

The situation at Davis is at an all time low. Poor performance at conference meets in fall and spring. Head coach out, multis/jumps coach out. Athletic admins doubling down on new distance coach and her fiancé/husband as program cornerstones.

It will be hard to attract good candidates for this position with this as the starting point.

The new distance coach has done a lot for the team in terms of recruiting and team culture and will continue to improve things there. The jumps coach has had great success with improving his multi group, taking Erinn Beattie to nationals (both indoor and outdoor) as a multi and in high jump. She was also named to the NACAC roster and competed in high jump.

Does she really need to be that desperate? Surely something better will open up for her this summer?
