1. Roster cuts because the ncaa is changing. Going to headcount
2. Carlson is cutthroat and is going to do what it takes to win. If you’re bad he will get rid of you.
3. They took too many people last year. Not sure what he was thinking.
Roster reductions will be across the board next year go look at what’s happening in the ncaa.
That rule hasn’t even been passed. It will take time to implement. Read the room.
what 8? how do you know who?

1. That is not a thing and will most likely never be a rule that passes
2. All his kids are solely on NIL money anyways
3. He took too many people because is entire recruiting philosophy is to take as many kids as possible, see which ones last and cut the ones that don't.
Not a lot of development there from either the sprintspor distance side
NIL Scholarships are not the same as a NLI/athletic scholarships. They can be taken and moved around more easily which is why kids are entering the portal.

There is no much thing as an NIL scholarship. Can’t believe Carlson is selling that Tom foolery to kids

Yep it's basically just money that you can put towards school
I've heard it's performance based when they sign it as well so they can get cut extremely easily

Inappropriate! Lmao
scumbag. sells a false bill of goods to recruits. makes impulse decisions and doesn’t consult assistants, athletes, and turns away from any rationale. fooling yourself if you think otherwise. He was like this at notre dame, can’t imagine he’s gotten better.

It appears he has made his new hires and is putting them to work already! Can’t imagine where else the downvotes come from. No one likes the guy
If you are disciplined and take the sport seriously you will love him. He has little patience for guys who drink, party, don’t want to work hard. If you are not trying to be an elite distance runner he won’t waste his time. There is a lot of awesome qualities to Carlson and for the athletes that are doing what it takes he is ALL IN. He has his downfalls like all coaches, mainly little patience for alternative lifestyles.
Sounds like most distance coaches that have a high functioning program.

That explains half of the men’s team in the portal?
He also has little patience for guys who don’t produce immediate results, despite hard work and discipline
He is definitely all business and cutting quick but he is not as smart as he thinks and cross country is a small world and his future top recruits are getting word.
Its funny because his main recruiting tactic for athletes to Tennessee is telling them he will make them a National Champion bc Dylan and Yared were champions. Very foolish and egocentric athletes fall for that when transferring.

Don’t know about Carlson specifically but any coach who takes too much credit for an athletes success is a red flag imo. Not to say they don’t deserve some of the credit.
