I actively avoid looking at jobs with a female head coach. And many of you should do the same.

Hahahahah you're funny this seems personal to you. I can't and you can't change the takeover. It's long overdue. The reason I don't have to argue my points Mr.... is because you are seeing the change/takeover happen with new hires.

Thanks for somewhat admitting what this is about:
"a takeover"
Carry on, bud.24 -
It's unfortunate that you have to look at jobs. Kind of the first indication you're not that good. Let's start there.

Just correcting the other person who think you’re a guy. Btw there’s no need to throw it down our throats about female coaches. There’s good men and bad women’s coaches as well as bad men and good women.
just hire based on whose best for the Job not what their gender or ethnicity is

It's not a problem when young males are giving an opportunity. It shouldn't be a problem when the young female coaches get an opportunity. We need women in the sport especially black women given how much they contribute to this sport. The female athletes bring a lot attention and spotlight to the sport. It's only fair that those who want to pursue coaching be giving a legitimate chance to do so
You're altering the confines of reality of athletics in American Unis
Allow me to educate you:
1) Young males aren't receiving opportunities, especially those of whom lack melanin. This has been so for a long time now. Everyone with eyes knows this. "Opportunity" doesn't exist in a vacuum - it's not limitless. You can't just throw that meaningless word around and hope it amounts to a cogent argument.
2) There are zero standards or at least some SEMBLANCE of a universal standard to which jobs are being attained. Individuals are getting jobs SOLELY because of their "blackness" or "female-ness" or insert whatever useless immutable characteristic we'd like....
3) No one cares about track, especially athletic directors. Track is a net drain on every university. D.I.E. has infected academia pervasively; so, winning and building a great program isn't an actual objective - thereby enter the era of discriminatory playgrounds. Track is the program you can use at your expense for the religious D.I.E. components. Ineptitude abound. Try this garbage in football? And you'll soon end up 1-11 and it WILL affect peoples' jobs.
4) We can judge how well this is working: who are you recruiting, developing and so on?
We can look at the results and see how the growth (or lack thereof) of all-conference, NCAA finalists, Champions. The list goes on. But our society is sh** and only cares about the optics. Real winners care about winning.5) Not only can one argue there may be an ability gap (men are naturally suited to be better coaches), it's also an INTEREST gap. There simply aren't the same percentage of women relatively to men who are interested in coaching.
6) We get it, you worship at the alter of whatever fundamentalist garbage that allows us, in 2024, to brainwash ourselves to believe that discrimination is somehow permissible. Because hey....more of whatever " I LIKE! ". Blatant racism and sexism is indeed on display, but also we must admit this is a circus with cronyistic overtones as well. Friends hiring friends. Coaches hiring former athletes who've done nothing. The list goes on. Hire whomever you want, I don't care but the charade and circus will continue as normal. Admit what is happening.
I'm not gonna go back and forth and bicker with you because it's obvious where you stand and your myopic racist worldview is certainly the popular and chic one to have. The deluge of other low IQ brainwashed fundamentalist coaches will soon be eager to downvote this post because they contribute NOTHING and have NOTHING better to do.
But understand what IT IS and have the balls to admit it.Seek help for your complete white fragility. Poor white man is upset that he can't be in charge of any and all positions

Logan Stroman from Widener is off the site and they have an interm. What happened to him? He had a lot of success building that program? He take another job somewhere else?
Logan's wife was hired to be the commissioner of the American Rivers Conference in Iowa, so they are packing up and moving out there. They're both from Minnesota originally, so closer to home. I'm hoping Logan finds a gig out there. He's a great guy and a great coach.

Well the good Ole boys will have to do that buddy. Because a lot of good Ole boys got position they did not deserve and it is still happening. There is a long list of women the sport who has done well, which is evident that women can and should be coaching
Yeah, but there have been some recent questionable minority candidates hired lately as well. Bad hires are a universal thing. They get hired but their version of "good ole boys"

In an ideal world that would be true but you and I know that historically hiring practices don't work like that. You still have men on this page saying they wouldn't work for a female director. A lot men think women have no place coaching.

Congratulations to her. Wishing them both success

Ehh, those saying that are just trolling or hiding behind a keyboard which is kinda the same thing.
let’s just say I’ve been told I was a great candidate but not the correct gender and I had to swallow that pill and move on. No hate, never told it to the young lady and we were always cordial. I’ve learned above all things we are only in control of our own actions and decisons. I hire based off merit, potential, or whose vision fits well with the programs vision. Whoever else hires off of gender or good ole boy system or whatnot it’s taboo in my opinion but I just keep it moving. Rose up the ranks off my own workmanship and those that deserve the opportunity should get a fair one.

I will continue working towards the same goals as well.

I can name at least one of these coaches that has slept with one of her female athletes.

Hahahahah and how many males have slept with their athletes. I hope that isn't your big announcement.

So I guess it’s ok then? Cool. Noted.

Not at all but you dropped that like a Drake album. What does that have to do with the gap between men and women hiring. No woman or man should take advantage of their student athletes. It's unprofessional, unethical, and dishonorable. I am sure most will agree that they wouldn't hire a woman or man that they knew for a fact had sexual relationships with their athletes.
