2019 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

What's going on with University of Utah? The hiring seems like it should go fast but no word.

The UC Irvine cross country team was told yesterday that Casey Kear will be the new distance coach at the school. Kear was the second assistant coach over at Long Beach State. The track and field and cross country program at UC Irvine has really deteriorated since Vince O'Boyle retired a few years ago, and Jeff Perkins took over. I will take a wait and see attitude with this new hire at my alma mater.

This is what UCI gets for $35,000 a year. A second assistant from the Big West. If they were truly serious about athletics, the UCI athletic department would pay their coaches a fair wage. Sad to see this!!

Yup, team meeting on this crap today after practice!

What do you mean team meeting? Because the team is complaining?

If so they should. That’s how anything will get changed these days

Yes, we got the idea from the Stanford team. We want a better coach and non-dairy ice cream after practice.

What gives you the impression that they care if they have a good distance team or not? They just hire new up and coming coaches every two or three years and go through the motions.

Why do you say that ? Is there an obvious candidate? I know the season is upon us, but it's only been 10 days since the job posted.

Any updates on the hires within the A10 conference? Fordham, LaSalle, Duquesne?

Anybody know anything about the new Texas A&M sprint coach? Good hire?

Good hire in my opinion. Good recruiter too

Lasalle promoted the GA.

Fordham promoted assistant to HC

Seems like Houlihan Sr. should be a natural fit, if she wants it.

Is this UCLA Jumps position still open?

Well looks like Western Michigan isn't gonna be hiring within...

The stalling at Western Michigan is out right ridiculous.

They hired Batten from Wayne state
