Miami's program problems don't start or end with the coach.

It's a losing situation all around, never mind the terrible training environment of south Florida. They don't even field a cross country team for conference, they just send sprinters that they think can probably run an 8k without collapsing.
Same cost as most private schools now, ie. ivies, patriot, nescac. $75k annually is 4 yrs @$300k with no aid.

Sounds like the comment of someone who still talks about running on one.
LetsRun is turning this into Cath-holes versus convicts round 2

So they hired a recruiting coordinator before a coach? Griff makes sense as he's a former athlete and coach, but what other intel do you have on coaching staff?
Don't know the exact timeline but he was hired (as Asst / recruiting coordinator) prior to her leaving. So, does he now get promoted?

Maybe he can educate himself on running physiology instead of riding around on a Segway with some high school boys.

WTF are you even talking about? Miami has $1.066m in T&F athletic scholarship money for men and $1.42m for the women. That is one of the biggest outlays in the whole country. This board is so full of half-cocked half-wits.

I don’t know a lot about the school’s distance history (maybe because there isn’t a lot to know), but judging from the comments it isn’t very good.
However, my understanding is that is a fairly selective (low admissions rate) and fun school that kids want to go to. So, it is possible that if a coach like Brosnan got good funding, he could turn things around.

Every one knows that it is a sin unto God that a man who possess no royal blood is clutching unto that throne.
grapefather wrote:
weird take. Brosnan's ego is way too high to take a d2 job.
As far as I known, Hellman is still solidly in that position. Do you have an inside scoop on something?
It is only fitting a man of the Brosnan lineage, who have traditionally held the earldom of Snowdonia recapture the throne from the untrue usurper. If not the honorable lord Sean, then his brother Pierce should take up the mantle.
Until this is done, I beg unto thee: Bury my Hokas at Wounded Knee.

Why not? Beautiful place to go to school.
I always wondered why some schools such as the University of Hawaii, for example, didn't have better sports teams. It would be kind of hard to turn down a scholarship especially if they had a great coach come to town.
Bruh, have you been to Coral Gables?

There's no beach to speak of in Miami anyway. You have to get out to Miami Beach, hence, the name. The barrier islands stretch many miles north, keeping the beach well away from the main coast. Miami has Biscayne Bay and gators, as well as crocs, caimans and even some monitors.
"Most of the city lies within Biscayne Bay, three to fifteen feet above sea level.
The Gulf Stream keeps the area warm all year, and alligators and other oversize reptiles such as crocodiles and caiman thrive here."40 -
"Historic 12th Place Finish" kind of says it all (out of 15). The men finished in a less-historic 15th.

This team would have trouble competing for a spot at the Florida high school state championships, yikes.

I'm no salesman for Florida. Aside from the insanely corrupt and ideological politics in a state that is in actuality exceedingly close to a 50-50 place in statewide elections (just look at the winning margins for Scott over Nelson and DeSantis over Gillum), the nice weather that everyone elsewhere talks about is confined to the winter and the weather is absolutely unbearable outside for seven months a year or more now. The traffic is terrible; there is no public transportation to speak of outside of Miami; you can't get housing insurance outside of Citizens anymore, and car insurance rates are among the highest in the country because of stratospheric accident rates and insane drivers in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville; and pay is lousy. All that being said and the weather and lack of trails in Miami being obvious facts, Belen Jesuit dominates the state from 800m up, so it's obviously possible to have a strong distance program in that weather. If nothing else, you're going to be acclimated for hot weather races at the NCAA

the most isolated populace in the world. number one issue is that it's very expensive and time consuming having to fly to the mainland to compete.
however, you're not wrong to think that a great coach could turn things around significantly. never gonna be NCAA champs unless they import foreigners to do just that, but they could absolutely be much more competitive.
