2018 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

The Powell’s can write their ticket any position in the country except neither seems interested in being head coaches at major program where actual coaching is back seat.

Rumors that MVA is out at UNC. Vig went to NC state might reconsider area?... Strong academics P 5 conference (ACC)could pull strong recruits with right coach

Southern Illinois University Head Coach and Associate Head Coach were not at the NCAA West Prelims with their team.

Nor was SIU-e Head coach

Todd Morgan is out at UVA.

Is Raske being considered for one of these big jobs??

I have always wondered why she hasn't landed a Power 5 head position yet. She is more than qualified and has the resume to back it up.

Set up to fail with Jason Dunn lurking?

Very strange.

What happened with Northeastern?

Heard siu might cut men's track. Would be a good reason to get out.

Much more to come from Charlottesville!

IF MVA is out at UNC, he won't be replaced by Vigilante, he had his chance at "The Big Time" and let it slip out of his hands. Stop bringing his name up in every category. Let me provide some real options for you at UNC

Ryan Vanhoy Alum of UNC

You must forget that Vanhoy was at UNC when they hired Harlis and Harlis chose not to keep him. Why on earth would be go back after that?

True, Perhaps UNC assistant coach Roberts will take job if no one else is vying for it

Plenty of people vying for it!!! Little chance that happens.

Laughable on Roberts as everyone will go for that job , UNC has done nothing over the last 4years. Vanhoy was not proven at the time. Now Big difference in recruiting Sec academic talent and UNC academic talent but vanhoy should know that.

Who else might be a solid candidate.? Let’s look at the people getting it done this past weekend

Let me do some homework

Not sure...but could have something to do with many well respected & well connected coaches saying they'd rather jump off a bridge than work for her. And that's coming from some very influential females as well...

Any word at all on who Eastern Washington plans to hire (or better yet, have they advertised the position) as their distance/cross country coach after Chris Shane was let go? I thought that one of their student coaches was coaching the distance runners, as they apparently never hired a replacement.

One fallout of the Shane debacle was that Conner Johnsen and Kaili Keefe both transferred to Washington State afterwards, and that turned out well for the Cougars--both made it to NCAA West Regionals, and Keefe qualified for the national finals in the women's 1500!

IF Spry is out at Auburn the first call is to alum Chris Fox.

This is Lonnie Green’s job to take or not. Purdue was a stepping stone to a SEC head job. He would be perfect at Auburn. Much easier to get talent to the Plains than Purdue
