I can tell you for 100% certainty that she was offered P5 jobs. More than one of my coaching friends offered her the job. They, nor I, have any reason to lie.
Contrary to what you may think, the Toledo job is a great gig for someone that would like some stability. The program can be very successful on the national and international level. The track is right in the middle of campus and just had a massive upgrade. The indoor facility is perfect for training distance runners and there are no less than 50 miles of wooded, dirt trails within just a quick drive from campus. The home cross country course has hosted the NCAA Regionals and is gorgeous and right across the street from campus as well.
In addition, the administration is incredibly supportive, the team of doctors is also the same team of doctors for the US Women's Figure Skating Team (many of the same exact injuries). They believe in systematic ferritin testing and have a specific protocol for liquid iron based on ferritin levels. The strength and conditioning coaches let us plan our own program and the non-revenue sports have their own weight room.
If you look at the administration and the other coaches, most coaches stay for a long time. Says a lot about how they are treated. Had I not messed up, I would have likely stayed there forever. No matter how good we got, I only ever applied for one job in my entire 15 years. That was the Vanderbilt job.
Andrea has a family. She is a great coach and an even better human being. She may not stay forever, but that place would welcome her there for that long and she will see tremendous success.
To the main point: Yes, absolutely it is accurate she was offered bigger and higher-paying positions. I have zero reason to lie. Yes, Toledo may not sound appealing at first to an outsider, but for the reasons mentioned, it is a great setup for a distance program.
Flame away boys. I know you cannot wait....

I think pretty much everyone knows Toledo is a great opportunity. Makes it kind of pathetic that you never placed higher than 21st at NCAA's with everything you mentioned working in your favor.

re: false statement

Iona (Byrne/Santos), Furman (Gary’s), Toledo (Hadsell), Portland (Connor), Providence (Treacy). None in P5 conferences; they have dedicated and knowledgeable coaches. The fact is distance running isnt that expensive, you don’t need state of the art facilities, they are usually good students and don’t get in a ton of trouble. These niche programs do a great job of making the most of limited resources. I often wonder what my college career would’ve been at one of these types of schools instead of being a P5 number?

re: Size of fight in dog

Furman has a fleet of Alter G treadmills and other resources (check out their social media doting their “testing” this week.).

Most schools/programs do not have this funding. I assume the other top ‘distance only’ programs have the same.

Having a huge number of scholarships help, especially when you put all of them into distance like the schools you listed. Pretty sure all of those schools are fully funded or close to it.

You can clearly hear it resonated in Craig Engels recent interview. Maybe someone can post a link to It for my lazy butt. But basically he said at NC STATE... let me repeat.. NC STATE they run you into the ground there and if you can handle it, keep running... if not then oh well it’s a farm mentality! He made it clear that for someone trying to enjoy the sport and progress naturally, NC STATE is NOT the place to go.

Same with Colorado.

Probably no one wants to take a one-year gig. Turned down by small college coaches and others.

Hard to compete for jobs that are not advertised and then appoint a guy with no experience!

Drake has no program

you would think that there would be more support or track and field at Drake given the relays.

Their big homecoming/alumi event each year revolves around track and field

Correct. An absolute meat grinder that runs quality runners into oblivion. Rather than developing them. I have no idea why anyone would sign with them in 2019.

No where is "development" in any P5 coach's job description.
