Wrong.

I can name an NCAA dec champ who did the full dec plus five individual events at his conference meet.

It all depends on the athlete.

... and the conference

Notre Dame Sprints/Hurdles/Jumps/Multi position was posted yesterday.

Any inside info about this opening? Who is leaving? Why?

Could he be heading back to the state of new mexico?

Wayne Pate is retiring end of season

Shows ND's lack of interest in those areas. Clearly this should be two positions. What P5 coach is coaching all these events?

Rumor spreading, Babbit out with Petros at UGA

Rhonda Riley out at Duke.

This was posted over a week ago. She is still listed as a coach on their xc, track and dept pages, is tweeting team pics as recently as an hour ago, and there is no indication anywhere on the planet, other than this post, that Rhonda Riley is out at Duke.

Looks like fake news.

ND wasn't interested in having a full track & field program when they had two sport administrators over the program 5 years ago, one of which, the XC administrator, thinks she's the head coach of the track team. Long gone are the days of ND having a complete track team when Joe and Alan led the program.

Nobody to coach but two multi girls. ND has one male sprinter at the ACC meet and 20 distance runners. Zero jumpers (LJ, HJ and TJ) and one pole vaulter on the men's side. On the women's side, only one sprinter entered at ACC meet (400m - 57.49 and 400H - 1:03.77).

In the 3 years Wayne was there and he is a great jumps coach, they haven't put anything into jumps or sprints. Nothing. No wonder they are terrible in jumps and sprints. Don't expect any quality sprinters or jumpers going to ND anytime soon with the coaching staff and sport administrator.

Whoever lands this job...it will be super easy to do. Heck, hire anyone to do it. Nobody to coach.

I'm counting 17 non-graduating sprinters/vaulters on their roster. Still not a ton but more than a handful

Hmm. Appears to be working. Sorry Jim.

SMH....Only one male and one female entered at the ACC meet and that's their best sprinters.

Doesn't mean there's "no one to coach." Part of coaching is development. If you're only interested in managing talent that can already look good on your resume then yeah, there's not really anyone to coach.

Calling BS on this one

East Stroudsburg just reposted their position for Head Women's coach. Did they not find anyone they liked the first time around? They seem like a solid program. Only thing I could think of would be low pay? Considering it's only coaching the women's side.

It isn't a repost by ESU. They originally posted their Men's position and now have posted their Women's position.

Yes, like above said. It's a post for Women's Head Track and Field Coach. They have concluded interviews for the men's one that was posted. I am just confused why they can not just post at the same time and see who applys for both. I mean if I am not selected for the men's but maybe 2nd or 3rd choice do I need to apply for women's one too? It is to my understanding that its just job titles there and in the collective bargaining scheme. I think both coaches will cross over on coaching both genders.

Lane leaving Wyoming?
