LRC note. We changed the title of the thread. It was initially entitled, "Rumors CONFIRMED - Dartmouth distance coach McNulty FIRED" which we don't know to be true.
Alums finally got an email from Dartmouth - with zero mention of McNulty's name or announcement of his departure. So cheesy. So utterly cheesy. I've never seen the departure of a Dartmouth coach without a 'thank you and best wishes' line. McNulty got memory holed. Why? What are they hiding?
Here's the text:
DISTANCE Women’s Head Cross Country/Assistant Track & Field Coach, Kendra Foley Andrews, has taken on the role as interim Men’s Assistant Track & Field Coach for the 2024 indoor and outdoor seasons. Coach Andrews will lead both men’s and women’s distance groups. She has not only had notable success with the women’s cross country team and distance group over the past seasons but, Coach Andrews is respected by our men’s and women’s distance groups. She has experience with guiding the men’s team to a fourth-place finish at Heps as interim Head Men’s XC Coach in 2022 and the team has expressed excitement about her leadership for the 2024 seasons.
This is a slap in the face to Ben True. He coached the team for free all season, wasn't invited to go to Heps and then was passed up twice for the job. Show the alumni some respect.
From 2022-23, the men’s cross country roster shrunk from 24 to 15 runners. The Dartmouth interviewed former team members and a parent of a former team member to find out why.
So the article clearly states that he was fired. Why were the mods deleting posts that said McNulty was fired?
Rojo should IMMEDIATELY fix the title of the thread back to the original statement which said McNulty was FIRED.
Why? There was no evidence before that he was fired when this thread first made headway in December as it was all just rumor. Go untwist your panties.
The owner of this website cited a message board-spawned rumor - that like this one, turned out to be correct - about Molly Seidel not racing the Trials in his official women's race preview. Clearly there's no policy on the books about removing anonymously sourced hearsay.
I’m not debating the fact that this guy was a bad coach or did a poor job. But give me a break with these Dartmouth weenies. What a dumb article. Imagine a parent getting involved with your son’s college coach. These Ivy League weenies need to grow up. None of them had talent or wanted to work hard. The former coach had sh!t to work with and was a bad recruiter.
