LOL. I am certain Paul Carroza is "mentoring" (ie - coaching) on the side and Edrick put the writing on the wall that UT will transform in time plus assistant coaches do make less...
Texas is going to the SEC and being a hot weather climate in a dog eat dog conference, it's time to transform to the LSU, FLA, A&M team concept as a 3:39 1500 won't earn more than 4 points anymore.
Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.
Moving to the SEC should give Texas more reason to invest in distance running. You have Arkansas and ole Miss to compete against. Probably easier to score in the distance SEC wise than in the Big 12.
Pete is a fantastic coach, there is an enormous amount of pressure at Texas in any position. 5 years seems pretty standard for the distance job there. 4th cross coach since 2008
Pete didn't coach really any of the distance runners that were successful indoors. They all were doing workouts on the side with Paul C.
Abdalla talked about it in his interview after the DMR. Best coach in the world isn't your actual coach? Odd......
Issue with Carrozza's tactics is all his guys were burnt out by the time outdoors came around and they ran poorly.
Where is the proof? This seems hard to believe for a variety of reasons.

I dont necessarily think Carrozza is coaching the Texas distance team but coincidentally alot of texas althletes ran for Carrozza before attending UT. Abdalla trained with Carrozza in highschool same as freshman Chris Riley.

I'm confused on where you see the evidence?
I really hope this carroza gets the job. I’m sure Watson would be wishing the same. Just once, would love to see something like this happen.
My source just told me Texas officially hired chris derrick. I guess that’s why his retirement came
Greg Metcalf to Texas to Coach the Men
What’s up Longhorn NATION, my sources tell me coach Saladbar will be coming to the forty acres within the Fortnite, #hookem
Hmmm
Fact. Carrozza was coaching certain runners at certain times. This was usually when Pete running them into the ground and they were on the outs with them.
Fact. Maybe he didn't like it, but Pete approved this. Again, it wasn't all of the distance guys all of the time It would be for a two week break.
Fact. All of the training and the decision to run certain races leading up to and in NCAAs was 100% Pete's doing.
Fact. Carrozza doesn't want to be choice #1 to replace. He is obv a concerned parent but, has been trying to help bring someone in. Timing isn't great and ppl not wanting to move right now. There may be an interim need.

Hopefully its a big name hire. That team is too talented and full of potential to not make some noise this season.
Ben Thomas could be great
