I would think Haverford would a tough act to follow. Donnelly was a great man and coach, plus you have to find athletes able to get accepted. And Haverford is not like some Ivies, even when you are accepted the workload is difficult.
As a female HC of men and women, from my experience, will say it is harder to command immediate respect. Both in the coaching community and from athletes. It takes time to build a successful resume to prove that. There are far fewer females that want the lifestyle and are going for jobs.
BUT I have gotten to where I am because of male coaches that believed in me and encouraged me and helped me grow. I would not be a coach without that support and belief. thoughts on growing female representation in coaching
-examples of successful female coaches, male coaches giving female coaches opportunities, even if there is a learning curve moving from an all male staff, better policies that support the duality of family and a sustainable coaching career from schools/ institutions, and groups like at the coaches convention to help female coaches feel less alone in it.
there are amazing coaches of all varieties and all we can do is try to keep making it better for the next generation.
What happen with Erin? Thought they were bros? Seem like it didn't work out together, two sprint coaches
Your guess is as good as mine. He got a job as NAU so it looks like it worked out. They looked like they got along well at practice (at least from what I saw).
Maybe it just wasn't for him. SJSU had a really rough season, but they have a ton of talent returning. Let's see what they can do.
Hopefully one day assistant coaches can sign two- three year contracts. Negotiate $2500 annually coaching education, free parking pass, free University meal plan etc.. Don't know the guy but a couple of months is not long enough

I am going to go out on a limb and say this change is not performance related (in terms of how the teams are running); the men are doing quite well and while the women are mid-majoresq and will struggle at the Big10 meet, that is more of a long term recruiting issue.
I won't speculate on the possible reasons for a change, but there are a whole lot of things that could be going on between Cashberry, Elliot, or how they relate to one another.
