I dunno. Georgia is a pretty sweet gig for him.
Something is wrong with the whole Texas athletic department and has been for years. For years and years Texas always advertised that it "had the biggest operating budget" in all of NCAA sports, $100 million. They were the biggest by far when you saw the published numbers every year. And yet, on the whole, they really don't win all that much. As a matter of fact, in just in our sport alone, there were plenty of mid-major athletic departments with 10-15 million dollar operating budgets or less, who routinely finished ahead of Texas at Nationals. If you look at the money sports, Football & Basketball, they haven't done shite there either.
The bottom line is that if it ain't a money problem, it must be something else even deeper and there is no amount of compensation that can make up for a miserable job situation when you are already winning titles and have just about everything you could ever want while competing in the SEC. I would be very surprised.
Rumor from Penn Relays is that Erin Tucker from Penn State will be in the running.

Is this just a formality posting? Or are they replacing the guy they just got in January??
I have a friend who works in admin at UCF and she says its not a formality posting. Roger will be in the discussion as one of the top candidates but they want to get the best person they can.
I'm curious about Arizona, now that the Carter case is done. A decade ago, Coach Harvey said he'd retire around now, but here we are and no announcement. Anyone know what's going on there?
It's the end of the season, usually there's info pouring in...
Every year these old codgers say they will retire but the job is too easy for them; same thing every year.
They last forever.
You are right. I think all coaches who are older than 40 should retire so they can make way for some young, arrogant, entitled know-it-all like you to take over. I am sure you can turn any program into a national champion as well in your first year.
Here's one for you. The vast majority of these retirement age coaches don't want to be coaching this generation of whiny ass, entitled athletes under the co-mismanagement of the NCAA and delusional athletic departments. The issue is they have been track coaches their entire career and, even if they have well paying P5 jobs currently, over the course of their career have worked for pennies. They have to keep coaching.
The current crop of wannabe coaches don't get that as evidenced by the number of them I've seen in job interviews who think they're worth 80k, even if it's their first job.
Free advice alert. If you're smart, find a new career now.
Making comment so thread is not stuck at number 666.
What is happening in App? Any candidates?

After all these years of applying for head coaching jobs, Curcio finally gets his chance.

Best post of this entire thread so far. I'll add that these retirement age coaches had to sink so much into their careers to survive that they have ZERO life outside of coaching. They have nothing else to do. The moment they retire...they're going to die. And they know this.
