It is near impossible to converse or make any ground with a narcissist. You try it.
Not hate...just a fact.
Eastern Illinois throws and sprints/jumps (2 positions)
I can't confirm or deny her coaching ability but I've learned over the years that results don't always tell the tale. That's whether the athletes perform well or poorly.
I've coached groups of athletes who improved from obscurity to the point of being competitive internationally but I've also had groups who improved marginally after years of work. The differences between groups were often something as simple as access to facilities. Training athletes on a 300m track vs training on a 1 lane 150-160m track. Or training jumpers with access to hurdles and boxes vs a hallway and some chairs.
So again, I can't speak for Marissa as far as her actual ability to coach but I'm sure the caliber of athlete going to tcu on top of the better weather and facilities would make things look a lot better
Leevan Sands to Fla State….. that being said
Northern Colorado jumps

No need to land a job, have one. And I agree with the poster about self promotion. If you don’t Know how to coach better self promote. What I’ve seen also is the cream always rises to the top. These coaches they self promote and land good positions they disappear into obscurity after a few years then the next batch come
In it’s an ongoing cycle. Once you get to 20+ years coaching at the D1 level you start to see the trends clearly. Go to ncaa nationals then you see the coaches that deserve the position they have.
The issue all these people complaining about people not having results is that most schools don’t care about the results it’s about the kids being happy, not complaining and maybe fundraising… again the vast majority of programs don’t care about results there’s more to being a coach at most colleges than getting good results… The programs that consistently win/podium, maybe top 10 at nationals care about results the rest of them care about happy kids and parents and title 9.

No one DESERVES a job. It’s not a merit award. There are many reason a person may or may not get a job offer. Merit and tenure are not the above-all-else deciding factors.

And there’s the problem. Making our sport a participation sport isn’t how it should be. I’ve coached enough athletes to tell you the majority them do not feel this. They want to happy of course who wouldn’t want to be it’s sport, but to say at the expense of not caring about results it doesn’t need to be one or the other they can co-exist. It’s the coaches fault if they don’t. The culture you create, you push them you make it tough but you also listen to them let them have some stake in their success. Be flexible, and understanding and they’ll want to run through a brick wall for
You. Don’t violate title 9, have a good relationship with parents and your athletes will trust you and they will care about the results, more then you will care about them
And look I understand you’re talking about the school, but success is success at the end of the day. Results will matter to then when you have good results. Especially when you start needing more from them. You get what you give. So the school that hire based on what you’re saying well they get the results they want so it is what it is

I wouldn't read to much into it. A lot of administrations set the track coaching contracts to line up with fiscal year end in October. This happens more at smaller schools.
He could of told the admin he was not coming back after his contract was up, or its possible he was told it is time to retire at the end of his contract. Will probably finish out the month as the school goes through the process. Definitely not an ideal way to manage a track program, but it is how it goes for a lot of schools like TWU.
any update on the head NMSU job?
Marshall throws
UCLA make a hire yet?
