Why does he not deserve a chance here? People do have to get jobs at some point. The assistant to the assistant…. It’s not like he’s out here running the SEC!
I’m mike Holloway and I win trophies!!!! But I don’t care about who I hire?!?!
I bet he did that networking thing where he got his name out there, made himself a valuable candidate.
The University of Lynchburg and Director of Athletics Jon Waters are excited to announce the hiring of Mario Wilson as the new Director of Track & Field and Cross
He is a great hire but you can't help but wonder why the AD would want to stop their focus on long distance after the record breaking year they just had in distance?
Can they find a distance coach for $30k per year that can produce multiple sub 4 milers? Probably not.

How many ADs you know that truly understand the sports of T&F and XC? To most ADs, having a director that focuses on different event groups is probably like a football coach that runs a different offensive scheme. From the perspective of the AD, what difference does it make?
A quick TFRRS look shows a lot of sprinters, little to no field events, and lacking distance depth. Team performance at conference has been very low. They have some outstanding individuals, particularly in the hurdles.
Best guess is they don't have funding to support a full team - and they put the limited funds they have into a few individuals. This is textbook small time D1 approach. I don't blame them; its their best shot.
