2026 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

What’s the word on Wisconsin ?

What happened to McCullogh at Fort Hays. Just saw this posting.

Head Men's and Women's Track & Field and Cross Country Coach - HigherEdJobs

He has a Doctorate and teaches classes so he is going to do that full-time. Obviously better for a family too. He has been there over 30 years as a student and a coach.

Anyone know whats happened at Cal Poly Humboldt? Looks like they completely cleared house of all their coaches

I see they have an interim. Is this a formality job posting for this person to assume the head position or are they legitimately looking for a new head?

Anyone know if they are after a distance only approach (given their success in that event area) or will they attempt to be relevant in other event areas in addition to distance?

Is this school going to attempt to actually build this program or will they continue to put into it the near minimum just to say they sponsor?

In reference to the Southern Utah Job

Head XC/Track - Southern Utah. Houle built a pretty good distance/mid-d program from what I can tell from the outside looking in. I remember being in college watching Mike Tate and Kasey knevelbaard killing in. Will be interesting to see who takes over! -

Completely cleared out their staff at Humboldt? Not true at all. Head track coach is staying and I’m pretty sure the Interim XC coach will get the job. I Interviewed and it seems to be a formality.

Why do you think the program is not or has not been good? To your standards?

I just assumed they cleared staff because when you navigate to track & field and then coaches on their athletics website it brings up 404 the page doesn’t exist: https://humboldtathletics.com/404-1.aspx?url=%2fcoaches.aspx%3fpath%3dmtrack%26view%3ddefault

maybe this is an example of sleuthing gone wrong 😂but hey that’s why I asked the thread! The interim seems to be an alum or at-least coached there previously so I could see why they would just hire them.

Website error. Staff is still there.

Heard 1st round interviews were yesterday

Search committee reached out to names last week and began interviews

Who were the 8 that interviewed?

Why might a program clean house?
