Is It that important? Who do you have in mind?

Director of Ops is the least important worry for JJ. Who is going coach these athletes is 100 times more important than whether the team is staying at the Hilton or Hyatt. Get real!!

Couldn’t agree more.

I guess that's what happens when you actively exclude women from certain professions. The pendulum swings in the other direction at some point in time and knocks down the old guard in it's wake.

No one actively excluded us women, we never really showed interest in coaching like now. And let’s face it, some of us do get a position due to our gender... why is that a surprise to anyone? The old guard has been knocked down a long time ago honey, we just have to pay our dues like everyone else, and I am all for that!

yes, women most certainly were excluded from coaching for many years. of course women (on the rare occasion) get a position due to their gender. men certainly do far more than women, so no surprise there, babe. ive been paying my dues all my life. no complaints from me. i just find it amusing when men (and panderers like yourself) whine about women getting a foot up. tood-a-loo!

Women don't have the mind for coaching... it's that simple.

Interviews finished today. No one needs to see campus, maybe not official announcement, but expect names for the Farm to hit the boards tomorrow.

It’s thus type of response that just makes us look bad. You obviously have a bone to pick with 50% of our population, sis let it go! You can’t control what anyone does or who they hire. Get your experience do your due diligence and if that doesn’t land you your dream “coaching” position then move on. Sure it happens both ways, but right now it’s very prevalent with women at bigger school positions. Theirs more men applying for jobs so they have to be competitively experienced. Imagine a job opens up, 200 hundred ppl apply and only 10 are women, that’s 5% of applicants. But for sake of argument, theirs 200 coaching positions, and 40 are filled by women. Still far more dominant by men, but a much higher percentage of women hired vs women applying. This is where the lack of experience hire comes into play. I want to see more of us educating ourselves, volunteering to gain experience for jobs we deserve to get. Not our gender coming to the rescue!

Can we talk about open track positions ? Not me too, Billie Jean King vs Bobby Riggs. It’s junking up the thread. For the love of god, please start a new post with all the whining

New AD. These are the 4th and 5th departures in the department this summer.

Good god how old are you referencing the Battle of the Sexes? ROFL...this thread has nothing else to talk about because anyone who has any real info learned d to shut their mouth years ago! And for the record, when I’m a head coach, I’m only hiring women because we need more women coaching women period...regardless of resumes/experience...& to sit back & laugh at this thread.

You know that's illegal, right?

Anyone heard any news on the University of Missouri St Louis opening for their new program they are starting? Would think that phone interviews would have started or will start soon. Will be in the GLVC.

I mean sure. But it’s quite easy to make sure you don’t hire a woman between 25 & 40 with a spouse or serious significant other...especially if they already have one or two small children. No staff of mine will be down a coach for any serious amount of time...& on the rare occasion it has been, I’ve found a way to legally get rid of her. Cheers!

Either you're lying or you're flirting with legal disaster! Cheerio!

Some women should be discriminated against. Can't have a coach out for a couple months because she had a baby middle of the year. Many schools don't have the luxury of having 6 full time coaches to cover for her.

Women are also far more likely to quit. Just look at the Yale coach who had a baby and then quit. All the power to her, it is great she will be able to spend more time for her family. But if you are a coach who is hiring, you want to hire someone who is most likely to stay in that position for many years.

So says the 22 year old dude.

I get what you are saying but as a new dad I think we should be doing as much as we possibly can for maternity leave, etc. Yes, it would be very hard for a track program - particularly a small one - for a coach to be out for 3 months in the middle of the season but the point of college is supposed education. What better educational moment than to teach young people who will presumably have their own families in 10-15 years that it's very hard to raise a child and we all need help doing it? So the jumps coach is out? Well can't the seniors try to coach the freshman? Or maybe film themselves and send it to the coach on maternity leave?

If the women's distance coach is out, then men's distance coach can send them the workouts and they can time themselves. Everyone chips in. The problem with society today is everyone is on their own. Everything is outsourced to an app and their is little community.

The very big problem is for programs that are already stretched way too thin. I know that you mention upperclassman helping out but that just doesn’t work when coaching the athletes is 10% of what we do. Who will do team travel, recruiting, alumni relations? It MAY work for programs with huge staff but not most.

Perfect- an opening for your whiny ass. People leave jobs early all the time for personal and medical reasons. Why does the reason underlying this one matter so much to you?
