Why is UCF not on the list of vacancies.

My understanding is that all the coaches with the exception of the throws coach, are interim appointments.

Don't forget Edinboro University, North State University , North Park and last but not least...University of Jamestown located in Paradise.

Radford Men's program said the same thing, now they are gone. Granted, they didn't have any NCAA Champions, but there was a stretch they had some athletes go to Nationals each year. Anything is possible, unfortunately

Angela Reckart to William & Mary

I thought I heard she was going to UVA? Rumor is Fetzer wants an established female coach

Thought I heard that LaVoie from EKU was going to UVA?

Why would she take a pay cut to go to a smaller college with less talent? She snuck her way into a nice position. I don’t see her giving that up anytime soon.

SUNY switcheroo

This summer is going to be one of the biggest coaching carousel moments in decades, if not ever! Many coaching changes are about to happen into late August! With a lot of big name schools opening up - it’s going to be crazy to see the new staffs this fall!

Snuck her way into a nice position? She is a tireless recruiter and relates well to athletes. Look what happened to UNC after she left... But yeah, I don't see her leaving either
