Ummm, what were the little complaints?

I would stay away from Drury. Heard they have offered it to two people who have turned it down already. Probably spoke to Moreno who will tell you he did nothing to deserve to be let go. Went from 17 to over 60 on roster in 3 years. Women's xc was ranked top 20 in the country. Made some noise in the GLVC both indoors and outdoors this year and DU teams were all #1 in the GLVC in grades this year. Doing good things with no full time assistant and limited resources. He told me he was just asking for more support from a retiring AD and instead he was let go because a few nobodies on the team were complaining about stupid things. This is why people are getting out of coaching! The only sport Drury cares about seems to be basketball. Similar thing at McKendree with Mendez.

Hate to break it to you, but your boy probably lied to you. Schools that don't care about track/xc DO NOT want to be hiring coaches every few years. They aren't going to fire someone for no reason like your friend claims because having to hire a new coach creates a ton more work for the administration for a sport that they don't care about. You have to really screw up to get fired.

If you wanted to avoid schools whose administrations don't care about track, that limits you to maybe 1% of schools across the nation.

What? There are tons of schools that don’t care about track. Every school that has one full time coach doesn’t care about track! Old AD left at DU. He doesn’t have to do any work to rehire.

So still no rumor on any positions. Man this year is slow. Did people get wise to talking because of letstun?

Did I miss it? What happened to Kaczor?

Wrong link

Yikes, two years tops before they bolt for the first mid major offer they get.

I think he meant 99% of schools don't care about track.

Are they a couple or something? They have had a lot of stops together. What on earth did she do at SIU? Must have been some badness.

Yes, they have been married for about 15 years. They decided to get out of the D1 rat race, move closer to family and just enjoy coaching.

More like only job they could get. Because we all need money. Will be gone first chance they get. If she doesn’t get them fired again. Don’t kid yourself.

What’s with all these husband/wife hires? Is this the new trend?

What on earth did she do?

Kathleen is a sweet old woman.

I assume they got sick of the CMU guys underperforming year after year, along with his lazy recruiting.

what's going on with Miami Distance coach opening ??

been a month... radio silence on job ????

No SA liked Kathleen! The SA's wrote her negative reviews on her report. She was caught changing them!!! Got fired! sat a year now she is at a D#

Oh and her husband took an ice bath with a SA and put his arms around her. #OutOfBounds

most collegiate athletic directors are incredibly stupid. They think their football teams and basketball teams are all you need to run a successful program. They don't care about anything else.
