I'd give it to Lananna with Martin Smith second (OK for 12th was actually a surprise to me and a great result for a seniorless team). For the girls Procaccio (sp?) and FSU's Harvey.

Gibby? Seriously? He has had really decent kids running for him but really doesn't develop them. His training philosophy is handed down (as opposed to developing his own) and out of date with today's standards...isn't his degree in communication or something? He inherited a strong SFA program there and did well but was not really improving, inherited a stronger program at WM and guess what...not really improving.
Sorry, I just found his unability to answer simple physiological questions about training methods/ideas to be a very limiting factor in his development as a coach. But he has done well at conveying his coaches program on these kids he coaches.
NAU coach is my vote! Nice run guys!

Not really improving??? They just finished 5th you idiot. Thats a pretty significant improvement.

re: tribe fan2

Seriously, that guy obviously has something against Gibby. The highest Gerard's WM team ever finished was either 7th or 8th. Gibby's finished 5th. And again, he's done it with NO FL finalists. His kids improve. Patterson Wilhem has run 14:0? for 5k, and only ran 9:19 for 3200 in HS. That means he's hitting roughly sub 9:00 through 3200 en route to his 5k. Yeah, no improvement there.

Relevent degrees is clearly not an intelligent poster. I don't care about physiological methods, I'm care about results, which Gibby has had.

Additionally, it's his 7th year, he's not using Gerard's recruits anymore.

re: eojtlc

Not so sure I can agree with you. Didn't all 5 Oregon guys make All American on Monday? Also, didn't four of the Oregon guys set PR's for the championship course? How is that stagnating? Klotz ran the greatest race of his collegiate career. How is that stagnating. Danny Mercado ran the greatest season of his career, by far. How is that stagnating? Just wondering.

Worst = BYU Men or Stanford Men

you can also count in Arkansas... okay, they were already ranked bad, but a team like Arkansas should at least be contending top 10.

I'm starting to think that Harvey is the real genius behind FSU's distance running resurgence and that Braman might just be a figurehead.

Dude, have you been living under a rock?

Braman hired Harvey to coach the women. No figurehead there. She has full control and he doesn't hide that fact.
