Not gonna happen.

Shouldn't happen. Cross country is great, but track is way more important. Mario should get a new coach who has proven he/she can develop kids to score at Conference and Nationals in indoor and outdoor.

Sooo

what event area is that I wonder. Who is staying. Who is going?

The job description almost sounds administrative, right? Like they want a right hand man or woman to handle administrative, red tape type stuff, plus recruiting. I'm sure some coaching, too, obviously. But perhaps this person's responsibilities would not encroach on Hayes' and Sisson's areas. Just guessing here.

No, it actually doesn't. If it was admin it would be Director of Operations. Associate Head Coach titles are given to top assistants to attract them or keep them or to help promote a minority to a higher title for diversity's sake. In this case it will likely be the top female assistant in order to provide some balance within the staff.

Internal Hire in Tallahassee to fill the Assistant Sprints Job. Interviewing candidates next week as a formality...It's a wrap.

Interviewing as a formality? Is that a real thing?

Yes, actually it can be. Many states require that you both advertise a job and interview multiple people for the opening. If you know who you want, to follow state law, you often have to interview multiple people. This happens quite often.

"Monitor and support the academic success of student athletes in the program. Design and implement training programs. Perform administrative tasks, to include scheduling meets, arranging travel for the team, purchasing uniforms and equipment, etc. Provide coaching and direction for summer camps and other related programs as needed. Ensure fiscal responsibility related to budgeting. Maintain up-to-date knowledge, commitment and adherence to University, NCAA and Conference rules and regulations. Participate in public appearances and serve as an outstanding role model to student athletes and as a representative of Texas Athletics and the University."

Sounds pretty administrative to me.

Yes, this is true as I understand it, as well.

what is the salary for mario?

It'd have to be an internal hire. No one in their right mind from the outside would want to work for that pretty boy douche Ken Harnden!

It's not even a coaching position. Just doing all of Harden's dirty work (and I'm sure there's plenty of laundry to be washed!)

I think Sisson has proven he can do that on the women’s side with very limited scholarship money. Plus, he was a damn good runner himself at UT under Huntsman.

In theory (and in practice), distance coaches are hired to handle administrative responsibilities because they spend 3 hours coaching athletes compared to field event coaches spending 6 hours per day coaching athletes one-by-one.

Sounds like what most coaches have to to besides their actual coaching duties. I am sure Coach Hayes and Coach Sisson have several administrative duties that they are responsible for. Both have proven they can handle the paperwork, etc. while training athletes. Hopefully people don't think that those guys just show up at practice time and train their athletes and have no other responsibilities.

The information out of Toledo is that the finalists are the guy from UNC Greensboro, Scott Jones (Akron), a woman from either Morehead or Murray State and the Clemson xc coach. The job will be offered next week.

Get off Harden's back. He is, by a long shot, a better coach than 99% of the "wanna be" coaches out there who claim to be good. Harden has taken mediocre athletes and turned them into NCAA All-Americans and Olympians. All these other coaches do is luck out with recruiting genetics and coach their athletes down.

Anyone know where Jason Kilgore went?

Alvernia Head job was posted today.

Browsing the internet today and saw that the Creighton University XC website still hasnt announced a new coach yet. Pretty ridiculous considering it was announced chas davis was resigning on January 21.

if this is right then the girl must be a token female interview or why bring in the assistant of one of the other finalists? jones is in conference so i can see that. the greensboro guy and clemson guy have both had some pretty good success. the girl hasnt done anything at murray and was an assistant at greensboro. seems like it will be either the greensboro guy or the clemson guy. i bet they go with the guy from the big name school to make a splash.
