Reading the article, I would assume that Jones will take over the women permanently, and W&M will hire into Jones' position this summer.

From what the article says, mr Jones will be taking over as an interim while a national search begins for her replacement. Bad reading makes for bad assumptions. What you’re saying, they very well may do, but that’s not what should have been a take away from what was stated in the article. You’re just using logic and past experiences to make that assumption
Yes... An assumption - being a confessed hypothesis founded based on logic and past experience (and the included information in the article). If they "very well may do (it)", you must think it's somewhat valid and certainly more than "bad".
I'll put money on Jones being named to the position. Given his resume it would be a fine choice.

The guy made a good point about you making assumptions. You’re giving him the definition when he already did that in his own words. The article doesn’t state what you’re assuming, and how does the adage go about assuming, you make an ass out of you and me. Maybe it’s just you that will be the ass if you’re not correct. Jones is a great guy and would be an upgrade to that position.
WHoa, interesting, looks like Buford-Bailey walks right into this one. Texas has wanted a female Director for a long time.
Is Ben Dalton no longer coaching at Texas? It doesn't appear he is listed as an assistant on Texas' website
ben was mario's lil buddy so with mario gone i assume ben is aswell.

Did they ever have him on the site? He came in a little late this season
Wow, unreal that Tonja is going to get what she has wanted and was promised by the female AD. Kirk Herbsteeit said it best a year ago when he said it is a Sess pool at Texas. Poor kids
I don't know the guy, but why would you leave an established HS program for Creighton?
How much better can a cross only program with limited resources get?

This is actually a perfect hire for Creighton - and I'm not being sarcastic or condescending. Understand that Creighton's admin knows what they're doing - and what this program is (and is not) with one scholarship, no paid assistants, no facility, no track program & no tradition. It means they want a local person with ties to the community who will make it fun for a team made up largely of athletes that were coming to Creighton regardless of the program & just want a "positive student-athlete experience" (you see the hiring AD included this as a part of his quote on the hire?). All of us that have been doing this for any amount of time know that is administrator code for "just give the kids what they want & don't make trouble for us." So the last person you want to hire is someone with prior successful experience who's not going to be satisfied with "the way things are" or some super ambitious young coach who wants to keep climbing the ladder so is going to pour everything into being successful there. That person is going to rock the boat...the opposite of what that job description is. This guy was a local high school coach at private catholic schools, has a family, is from the area and I wouldn't at all be surprised if he's part time so he can continue teaching - so he doesn't get too wrapped up in the success (or lack there of) of the program. That could answer why this guy is willing to take the job. This is Creighton's exact model with their other lower tier classified sports like tennis, golf & crew (which all receive the same level of support) and those coaches are part time local guys with community connections & families who show up for practice & then go home & take whoever shows up. And those guys have largely been around 20 years without rocking the boat. I sincerely wish nothing but the best to Coach Gannon and Creighton.

This is the type of job and situation that should be left off this site. It’s like mentioning a 3 hour marathoner when discussing the elite field of the Boston Marathon. Who cares?

Except it's a college position thread and that's a college position.
Heard Tim Hall will make his move from under the Tyrant Alford-Sullivan. Hope it's true! He's due for a head coaching gig and should strike while the iron is hot
Yea somethings not right in Tennessee athletics. That football kerfuffle is trickling down
Good for him if it's true! I was wondering what was up over there. They hired and alumni Carjay Lyles for a month and next thing I know he quietly disappears and they hire Olympian David Neville. What happened? Weird
