Althea Thomas is crushing the game right now. Take notice.

By what metric? She qualified zero women for nationals as the sprints/hurdles/relays coach.

Is that why the most dominant men's javelin coach in the country is a woman?

The reason they are is because they dump 3 full rides into javelin and no other school is going to do that. The allure of the training partners and warm weather year round is what attracts the athletes. Show me who she developed from 50m or 60m. Travel agent. If she left the group would self perpetuate.

Yes, Peterson will be leaving. He and the AD were positive relationship challenged and program could have been better supported. The assistant coaches are very good and have produced results, five to NCAA east regionals this year. The athletes like the assistants as well but whether they are kept on with the incoming person remains to be seen.

Confirmed with one of the Tulane athletes that Peterson is leaving and a national search for his replacement will begin immediately.

Mario to tulane might be a reasonable thought. Anymore news on if Reynold's is going to Kstate?

If true.

My guess is she keep Althea, Caryl isn't afraid to have successful women on her staff, especially if they can coach.

-She brings her Throws coach from USC with her

-Quincy Takes over at USC and stays on the West coast

-Potentially brings Jebreh Harris with her or hires a different distance coach, since Althea can coach fast 800m runners

this is the exact opposite of what she will do.

Lange is not leaving Southern California. He will retire if not retained. Think Babbit will also be out at Georgia. Rumor of Zeb going to Georgia probably real.

K-state being quiet but I doubt it is Doug. think he is waiting for Arizona. Iowa who knows could be his buddy Omara but he didnt hire him before so doubt Omara wants to leave.

I wonder if NDSU will get anyone interested.

this is pretty close, I think, but Zeb needs to sit and show that he can recruit. I think Carol keeps Don, as she kept Dan and he finishes out there in the next 5-10 years. NDSU will be a young up and coming. Iowa and Kstate are both wide open at this point...

Iowa

Kansas State

Notre Dame?

Georgia

Tulane

USC - rumored

Duke distance - rumored

Is this right?

Caryl is not going to Georgia. Stop it

Final Candidates for Georgia are

Rhonda, Beth, T Hall, Mario, and Zeb

Shayla Houlihan to replace Angela at Penn State.
