Eric Phillips new Saginaw distance coach
Eric Phillips new Saginaw distance coach
Hearing that there is an SEC assistant interested in the Sooners if they’re willing to make the hire now and permit staff overhaul.
Several big name head coaches have had their name placed before the Oklahoma AD. It just depends on which direction he wants to go in. Distance based or track based. Heard the salaries at Oklahoma are behind the rest of the conference. AD will have to address that if he wants to make a major hire.
What’s Fresno doing with assistants? What path and who have they got tabbed? Will they go with a stronger distance model?
Overhaul? Is everyone there useless?
What I find riveting is who will fill the remaining female sidekick P5 distance positions still out there of the 4.5 women available. Who gets to be Chris Milty's's new Liz Smoke'Debole at UNC Chapel Hill? Who takes the honor as Kyle Kepster's "female" at Utah now that the Mick stole Mack Wartenburger? Who gets to be Dave's arm candy next at Oklahoma State? Everyone knows these positions are reserved only for women and there are about 4.5, 5 at the most still available out there who all also interviewed to be Jim VanHooty and the Blowfish's Title IX balancer, Mick's right hand woman at Wisco, John Hillbilly Hayes' emotional support girl at Wake Forest, Northwestern's placeholder, Amy Godzilla's filler at Yale and Amy Deam's Dame at Miama. I nominate Priscilla Bailey. Or Austin O'Neil.
I generally agree that as a general matter coaches who competed in the event group they coach have a bit of an advantage because they know how things are supposed to "feel" in a way that coaches who have done the events cannot.
On the other hand, and as was pointed out, Dr. Joe Vigil was a pretty decent distance coach, and he clearly never ran distance (or even competed in track and field - he was an Offensive Lineman.)
I was coached by Vigil in college. I also coached DeShaylen Jones in high school, and I am confident that, as she always did as a sprinter, she will work much harder than everyone else and thereby accomplish much more everyone expects. She has the discipline, commitment, intelligence and integrity it takes to become a fine college coach in whatever event group she is assigned.
If not Terry , who? Sounds like you are in the know. Or just want to seem like you are

Yes.
If you are really in the know , who? Bringing Dolan back? Or are you just trolling?
Who did Fresno hire to fill out staff? Who is staying from old? Or is it a clean sweep.

You do realize they just hired one of the top sprints coaches in the country, right? Dude has made national champions and All Americans out of kids nobody else wanted, with very limited resources.
Candidates on UVA campus last week and this week. Is Dunn not the guy or just making it look good? When would this Director start?
I don't think the more technical event groups lack an appreciation for what distance coaches have to do. You will always have individuals who downplay the importance of a coach working with a different discipline but in general, coaches aren't just blindly disrespecting other groups.
Sprint coaches are definitely NOT all doing the same thing. Even if they were, the application of those things varies so much from coach to coach that it's sort of silly to even suggest it.
Physiological changes and adaptations happen for every event group. Those groups that are primarily running involve more of that than others. So I sort of agree with you. However, you would be a fool to think that distance runners are the only ones benefitting from any physiological adaptation or that distance coaches are the only ones that have to take that into account in the first place. I understand that everyone isn't privy to what every event coach has to take into account but the best thing to do in those situations is not make any assumptions.
It shouldn't be assumed that getting a 2:00 guy to 1:49 is more or less impressive than getting a 59 second girl to 52. Or that the physiological adapation it takes for a girl to go from 2:15 to 2:03 is more difficult than getting a guy to go from 51 to 46

I’m sorry but you were doing good until the last paragraph. First off, you’re not gonna see a 59 second girl improve to 52 in college.. if so name some. I have personally seen girls drop 15 seconds off their 800 HS pr to run a national level time. That would be the equivalent of a 12.3 girl becoming an 11.2 girl and becoming an AA. Not gonna happen! Distance coaches have the ability to dramatically change a kids trajectory, if done properly. Seeing it happen more often doesn’t mean it’s easier, just means it’s possible. But a bad distance coach will not yield this type of results. Distance coaches have to coach many events, tactics, and physiological demands. But I Believe the big disparity between a great distance coach and a horrible one and all the in between possibilities make it seem that the event group is the easiest to coach. It isn’t but I am not comparing it to the difficulty of coaching all of the other event groups!
It's Chris Hughes
I remember when i used to be able to click on this thread and hear about college coaching openings! Now it’s just about 10 guys who post stupid off the topic bings then argues about it like there’s a right answer! If you’re not talking about coaching jobs and have no insight on any then start your own thread on your topic you want to debate about endlessly!

Just because you sound pretty arrogant with your first sentence, 58 to 51........, see below:
