Interesting. The Stanford AD was the AD at Georgetown when Henner was there.

The Stanford Director's job is between two people who have director's experience. Everyone without director's experience is crossed off the list. The Stanford job is a mix of coaching, directing, and recruiting. You need CEO qualities to be successful at Stanford. And then there were two...………..

Frazier has done an amazing job at Barton. Torrence was a beast by the end of the year, and his kids were amazing and down to earth young men so he's obviously doing something right. A very talented coach who will do well for Bama.

Hiring high school coaches is a bit iffier because of how much depends on recruiting. Personally, young men with college coaching experience should be getting a shot before high school coaches but I have seen a shift especially at the D3 level with high school dudes getting hired. Does suck living in poverty to "pay your dues" then see some random dude with an only ok resume from a high school get hired instead, however.

Frazier to Alabama...connections to Alabama or what? How often do you see JuCo coaches make the jump? Generally curious

Anyone notice how the UND posts were deleted? Some guys are just lil bitches. Got the best thread on the board deleted because his feelings were hurt. But bitches do what bitches do

I just posted a thread about this, but figure there are a lot of highly experienced coaches within this thread so just thought I would share an opportunity for online coaching if anyone is interested. Here's the other thread:

Went to Houston and was a pretty good runner, so I'm sure there is a connection. The Juco jump happens on occasion, see Shaver and Pat Henry. When you have a dude go 13.5 in the 110 it will get you noticed for sure.

Csun announced. Louisville sprint/hurdles coach

University of Maryland is hiring a new head XC Coach. They posted something but it was extremely vague and didn't mention XC. Probably already filled too.

What if you’ve coached 2 guys to 13.5 and still can’t even get interviews?

Those clues tell me:

CSUN Head Coach - Justin Johnson

UCSB Head Coach - Darius Terry

UC Irvine Distance - Alex Tebbe or Casey Kear

SF State Head Women- I'm completely stumped. Maybe someone with ties to SF State.

Right? And even more so guys like that are placed at juco. You will get a chance to work with studs at juco way more than a mid major. Has nothing to do with the coach and his ability.

I’m referring to names that have ALL of the above as their experience. Not just high school. These men have “paid their dues” by volunteering while coaching high school AND have been Juco or D2 D3 coaches as well as running pro in the sport. Frazier is just one example but I’m sure there will be a few more announced this week. Even been hearing 1 female always in the mix so who knows

I respect what Coach Hadsell wrote, but I completely disagree. While only having to "work" in the fall would be attractive for a lifestyle for athletic development it would miss the mark. Certainly Coach Hadsell took a team to NCAA without a qualifier in track, but those women competed on a consistent basis. They didn't compete "unattached" which means they go to meets on their own. There is information that I was given that the head coach will NOT be able to attend meets with the athletes, therefore the athlete lose out on the important development during track season. Track season isn't everything, but its important to the total development. I would ask, name all the athletes that have come out of cross country only programs (Northwestern, Dayton, etc) and list how many of them qualified for the NCAA cross country meet. No doubt the list would be very short. Northwestern is trying to attract athletes to pay $75,000 per year unless they get aid. That is a tough sell, even though NW is a great school. But so is Michigan, and Notre Dame, and Wisconsin. The coaches that were there the last four years did a fantastic job of recruiting hard and developing their athletes, and they couldn't get close to NCAA's. Just another opinion.
