I once emailed him about rising seniors I had that were interested in the program. He proceeded to tell me that the guys were not good enough for the program. Keep in mind 3 of those guys comprised a 4x4 relay that ran about 4 seconds faster than ECUs season best (3:13 vs 3:17).

This is actually hilarious. I’ll never forget a college I got recruited to telling me that their walk-on standard for my main event was faster than anyone on their team had run that year in that event. I ended up going to a rival college of theirs and winning the conference title there. Some clowns shouldn’t be in this profession.

re: Job fairy

I think a Big 10 throws coach may fill the Texas throws opening

re: just a baby boy

Any ideas on Manhattan director? Seems like it could be a sleeping giant, surely some big names are in the mix.

re: CousinRoy

How is George Fox distance not a “big boy” job? Always been a D3 power, lots of coaches would be much happier there than at a lot of poorly run D1s.

Sorry if this was covered already. I don't know this D3 program. Jake Reed was picked in Feb to take over Lynchburg, but three days ago he resigned. So here's the Lynchburg head job. Anyone know where he's going? NAU?

Also D2 Director position at Purdue NW
Link:ncaamarket.ncaa.org/jobs/21394906/head...
Lynchburg is a solid D3 job that would be a good landing spot for someone wanting to get out of the current D1 mess. Sprecher did just that and was highly successful.

What’s the scoop on this guy? Never heard of him, but NAU is a big landing spot. What am I missing about Lynchburg?

re: Job fairy

That’s Idaho St (not Univ of Idaho) for Jumps/Sprints and Throws

Univ of Idaho has Throws open

Portland St has Throws open as well

That program is not nearly what it used to be and probably won't ever be again in this NIL era. It's a lot more likely they drop out of Division 1 by the end of the decade.

Maybe because it pays $35K-$45K/yr which is about $20/hr.

Pretty sure they promoted two assistants last winter. The job posting may be a formality to hire one of those assistants on a full time basis

Many of those "big boy" D1 jobs pay the same or less, lol. I think many of you message board warriors would be shocked to find out how poorly most coaching positions are paid, so I laugh when people scoff at anything more than $25k/yr. It's why the destruction of our sport is inevitable at the NCAA level.

Sooo I’m confused… r u saying the problem is that people complain about the pay? Or that they take that low of paying jobs? I think the downfall of our sport has more to do with football and basketball than anything else, but that’s just me…

Why? You think any school w/o P4 NIL resourcing will just flop out of D1?

$35k-$45k is right in line w a lot of mid major D1s. great location, beautiful campus, plenty of opportunity to be successful (and happy for those who care about that) there
