2023 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Who is Kyle??

Western State. This seems like a good one.

Wondering if UNM will go with another distance hire or perhaps go with a track oriented coach. I think the later is more possible than one might expect. I suppose it depends on the financial situation there.

Darren Gauson

Correct. People here are stupid. There are no more hires to be made on that staff/ no more open positions.

Looks like they're going to announce it later today or this weekend based on their recent instagram post

Looks like a strong candidate, so possibly.

Though I think there is a better than 50% chance that UNM goes in the direction of overall track vs straight distance. The recruiting methods/advantages used by Franklin will translate just as easily to overall track strength and as some have mentioned a certain number of distance people will still want to be at UNM because of the altitude and other advantages that exist for distance athletes. We shall see.

Robert Johnson

I was wrong lol

Who takes the Kentucky job that Tim Hall just left?

Devin West

David Oliver

LOL. Lonnie has hired real experienced sprint coaches, such as Norbert Elliott while at Purdue and Tim Hall at Kentucky. Devin just talks...

Tony Miller

I could see Tony Miller before D West. I don't see David Oliver leaving Howard anytime soon. He has a good thing going there.

Anybody know what's happening over in Michigan? Seems like a lot of NAIA/other positions are open.

Sienna Heights I think head coach?

Concordia Ann Arbor assistant xc and head track

University of Detroit Mercy sprints/jumps/etc

Eastern Michigan assistant

Davenport Sprints

Ferris State assistant

Wayne State Throws

I could see most top sprint coaches interested in the position. It pays very well and as for David Oliver, not sure how much he makes at Howard. Lexington, KY is a lot cheaper than the D.C. area.
