Fox is good friends with Martin Smith. Perhaps Smith willask him to hire longtime loyal assistant Bill Lawson

If Fox hired another distance guy, who is going to coach the sprints?

fox's daughter is on medical redshirt. some mono stuff i hear, shes still in AU.

bump.

Who cares about his daughter? What has she ever done running-wise anyway? Nothing to my knowledge. I'm not trying to be a hater, just statin' the facts.

What do the assistant at SU make for a salary? Anyone know?

I would guess 30-40k, but not sure

Well you are coming across as one. If you notice earlier someone simply implied a question of if she would transfer or not. So someone cares about his daughter. In fact, your first line askes, "who cares about his daughter" You obviously don't, but I bet Chris does. So don't be such an ass. If you don't know the answer, quit being such a Letsrun poster and post on something you may acutally have knowledge on...but then again that would lead you to never post on here.

McKenzie isn't running. she got a medical release.

Just some guy,

Wow you sure showed me. You yourself are being an ass by saying I don't know anything about the sport of running. I guess you must be some kind of psychic mind reader since it was an anonymous post. I would certainly hope that Mr. Fox cares about his own daughter. It's idiots like you that fill up these message boards with crap that doesn't matter, i.e. some collegiate coaches daughter. And I will continue to post. Thanks.

No one has mentioned about getting a new sprint coach in. Like i have read on this there is money in the sprints. I also read on another website that the throws coach is going to Miami, so that means two more coaches to hire.

He will be too busy looking for coaches to coach xc.

I heard Coach Fox has talked to a couple sprint coaches, but I haven't heard any names. Anyone else?

Is SU fully-funded (12.6) on the men's side?

Actually you are correct, I should have said you should never post here again unless you have something to add to the discussion. Instead, you simply were able to make yourself feel better by taking an outside shot at Fox's daughter and her running ability. (or lack of according to your vast knowledge of running) So keep telling yourself that you actually feel good about yourself. Keep posting here, you will continue to prove my point by not being able to let it go. I will feed your fire, you will respond.

As of right now I' assuming the finance issues are still being worked out which obviously take time. Knowing coach Fox he's not going to take the 'Roberts Route' abitrarily take scholarship from funded athletes that are spriters. So when the money is back from graduation, I'm sure they'll reshuffle.

You're joking, right?

I think they only have a couple on the men's side, but the women are fully funded. Can anyone verify?

The men are about 75% funded and the women are 100%, As much as could be said about Roberts he didnt take scholarships from athletes, that was probably his downfall in some aspects. I know some people are saying that he took money from distance runners this last year, but if you ask those kids they were told it was a one time scholarship for just that year.

I did hear though that they maybe moving to a 100% on the mens side so maybe Coach Fox had that as part of his deal incoming there.

It's fun to read this thread now.
