Yes.. Troy Taylor improved very well.. credit to Stefanie... but I do't think anyone else got measurably better and I cannot think of one recruit that a major school would've been interested in? And didn't she get fired...? Please don't tell me she left voluntarily because she started a family. Not buying that.

There must be some male coaches out there that don't try to sleep with their athletes, right?
There are a lot of us, actually.
Unfortunately, that doesn't always prevent rumors, and the "where there's smoke, there's fire!" mentality does the rest of the damage.
They had an old man with plenty of experience with women, but they let him move on.
Any word on Alabama's new throws coach ?
Gibby is the right coach for this unique situation. He will quickly gain the trust and respect from all his athletes. The men's and women's team will have respect for each other. Gibby won't have it any other way. I am sure that Gibby's wife will be involved with the program. They will be greatly missed in Charlotte.

So who will replace gibby at UNCC? Either the assistant distance coach or some young up and coming coach?
The UNCC Asst Distance Coach left early in the summer, so I am guessing some young Asst. Distance Coach from another school. It would be a great job for someone.

A huge upgrade for the distance program at Harvard. I am sure the team is (quietly) thrilled.

You're right about this being a great first job for someone who is a young volunteer assistant coach. Great campus in a great location!
So Charlottee is open, what about North Texas?
Seems as if that postion has been flying under the radar.
It would be nice for Ryan Vanhoy to come back to NC. He has family in the area. He is young and already has some credit in the state retirement system with his years as an assistant at UNC. This would be a wise step for him in the progression to taking over the UNC job in a couple years. His time at UNC-Charlotte would count towards retirement benefits/pension in NC.
Think about it Ryan :)
Please, please come back to the great Tarheel state.
Vanhoy to UNCC would be great, but don't think he would leave SEC for CUSA

He was a volunteer assistant coach at UNC not a paid assistant.

He actually went from grad assistant to volunteer assistant to paid assistant and then interim head distance coach for a semester. You know nothing, Jon Snow.
You fanboys sure got a hard on for Ryan Van Hoy.
What's the story at UMASS?
He was head coach for at UNC for a year. His time at Ole Miss isn't earning him any credit towards retirement in NC where his family is. I think that his long term job will be as the UNC head distance coach. Full retirement in NC comes with healthcare and a pension. You also can't but a price tag on being near your family. How often does he get to see his family living in Oxford? Charlotte is one 45 min. away from Asheboro. I can't think that the difference in salary would be that much. Is he dating anyone in NC? This question is rhetorical.
For most coaches a step from the SEC to the CUSA would be in the wrong direction, however, this is an unique situation. I am just remaining optimistic.
Coach Gibby cares a lot about the kids at UNCC. He wouldn't have left without a good idea of who would take over. The program is going to be in good hands. Trust me.
Hope you are right! UNCC deserves good Coach! They have some good pieces to work with.

No way VanHoy goes to UNCC, if he wants to go to UNC he will go directly there when the position opens up rather than take a pay cut for a smaller job hoping UNC opens up years later.
Like previously mentioned, the job will most likely go to a younger coach, who was either a GA or volunteer at a bigger school. I've seen in so many times in all my years in this sport and I'm certain that is what will happen.
Will they be posting the distance position at UNCC?
The only position listed online is a sprints/hurdle assistant position.
