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…
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.
Why? You think any school w/o P4 NIL resourcing will just flop out of D1?
Essentially - the P4's will move on to form their own league, which will essentially be the "New D1." Everyone else will just remain in whatever you want to call the current D1 now and will remain under similar rules as today.

Yepp. Writing is on the wall. Two different ballgames now
Maybe because it pays $35K-$45K/yr which is about $20/hr.
$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
Talking about making minimum wage as a grown adult with a college degree and the absurd hours spent working as if it’s fine, is exactly the problem lol.
What’s the scoop on this guy? Never heard of him, but NAU is a big landing spot. What am I missing about Lynchburg?
College teammates with Cornfield.
whats worse, losing a job your plenty qualified for due to someone hiring their buddy, or bc they hire female w/ no experience? lol only trolling before people get mad…

I don’t disagree with that, just saying that it’s really no worse than most of those “big boy” jobs listed.

Basically an FBS/FCS sort of separation like they have in football.

Reed has recently coached multiple sub-4 milers and national champions. Being reduced to "college teammates with x" is typical of this thread but really undermines what this guy might be able to do

So can’t it still be a quality job even if they can’t compete with P4s? Who really can compete with them outside of each other anyway?

Fun fact, but Sam Chelanga was also his college teammate I believe. Must’ve been some great convos about the sport on those runs!

Very fair, I just honestly had never heard of the guy or that program. Makes sense, hire someone you trust but also has proven they can get the job done. Good for both of them, hope to see NAU back on top soon.

Is Chelanga still competing? Is he coaching somewhere? Now I’m tempted to go down a rabbit hole and look at their team’s results from back then. Liberty, right? I’m surprised they’ve never really built anything bigger off his success.

Correct, 2010 at Liberty. Don’t really remember anything about that team though, aside from Chelanga’s individual accomplishments.
I’m curious if any other coaches in here have applied and heard anything back; I’d like to think my resume is pretty solid for a young coach and I would at some point get at least an email back in regards to some applications I’ve done? I’m also thinking a lot of places aren’t rushing to hire and start paying a coach before August honestly.
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 what HS coaches and athletes don’t get. Yes, sometimes your high school high jumper is better than the school’s best high jumper--but neither of them can score significantly (if at all) in the conference or ever make it to the NCAA prelims, much less the National meet.
Teams rarely these days try to cover every single event. They want immediate impact scorers for the conference/prelim/national meet and athletes who can contribute in whatever event area(s) the team is focusing on.
ECU is about short sprints and hurdles and the coach has consistently made national-level competitiors out of 2 and 3-star level recruits (look back at the success he had at Campbell of all places!). 313 means that your kids averaged over 48 on splits--does that score in the American?
The kids ended up running 13.7 and 51 in the 110H/400H so…

The House settlement is a 10 year agreement. If the P4 decides to breakaway, there will be massive lawsuits from the mid majors that are footing the bill on nearly half of the House settlement 2.8 billion dollar back pay.
Remember, the P4’s don’t actually want to pay the athletes. They like it the way it is.
