It wont be hard for WBP to beat CU, Ireland is a program killer! The only person on the staff that is worth a damn is Reuben Jones.

Anyone else laugh when they read this on the NYU website: "It says so much about athletics at NYU that we could attract a person with Will's experience and pedigree."
Yup, you "attracted" a guy with no head coaching experience, and precious few credentials to a program that has won D3 Nationals recently, and sent Men and Women there last couple of years.
Nice attraction work there, guys.
Will's a good coach! He knows how to recruit without scholarship money, something D3 doesn't have. He's had a stellar career with Columbia. He's great on the administrative side......and he work's his ass off.

"...work's his ass off?"
What does this even mean, Will?
Rumor has it that either Jason Saretsky from Harvard or Phil Olson from Stephen F. Austin got the offer from Army. If it was Saretsky then Harvard wins and Army loses!
Try Todd

Gonzaga assistant coach Rich Nelson makes sense as a hire here. Totally guessing but he is close by, was a very good steeple chaser at BYU and there are some top level steeple prospects at IU.
But seriously-real talk whatever happened to those done deals saying forest Braden to Idaho /done deal? Ummm embarrassing....
Job at Idaho filled by Travis Floeck from Oregon State.
It's not Forest Braden. First he was rumored as the director, told it was a done deal. Then he was rumored as the distance coach...done deal. There was no truth to it. Just shows that just because someone posts with gusto on this message board, doesn't make it true.

These are sad times in college track and field. Nearly every job posting should have a line next to the EOE statement at reads: "Experienced coaches need not apply" and "if you have a family....don't waste your time".
This is not a knock on any of the coaches that are being hired on a personal level, it just AMAZES me the number of coaches that I know who have very strong resumes with reagards to student retention, recruiting and producing results at conference and national levels that can't an opportunity. I suppose it does help that those that are getting hired can (and will) work for 30-35k.
And before anyone fires back - NO, I have a job that is way more stable then college coaching. After 20+ years in the business, those years are behind me.
Best of luck to all the coaches that have found a new home. 2014-15 should prove to be another fantastic year in track and field.
I agree, it sad to see the numbers of posting for PART-TIME Coaching, these are a joke, why even advertise these positions. to make it worse people are actually taking those jobs. The coaching profession for Track/XC looks cheap.

Gondak will get the PENN ST. Head position, why ruin a good thing with someone new. It's his time.
Regarding Army, Why would Jason leave Harvard, when things are starting to turn around there??
You can live off a coaching salary in the Hudson Valley.

Its like we are in the twilight zone. Inexperienced coaches are gaining full time positions at and alarming rate and experienced coaches with have to take GA, part time jobs or choose to not coach. Most of the hires I've seen have been connection hires. Being able to actually coach means nothing anymore. Just get your level 1 and 2, go to conventions and meet people.
