2024 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

I was going to say Pat Morita but since he died I will go with Postmaster.

6. People on here complain on a thread they can't stop refreshing.

Great hire.

That's a good one too. Keep em coming. We might be able to get to 10 things by the end of the day.

Not doubting this is a great hire, I just wanted to point out the interesting fact that he's listed as "throws/middle distance." That's an interesting combo!

I think the profile is being cut and pasted from multiple profiles as they are building it out, because Travis Hartke's email is still listed on his profile!

Read the profile. They are updating a live page and haven't updated the title yet.

Do the guy some justice and honor. Hold off on releasing the announcement until you get a solid bio together.

The school has not actually announced anything yet. I was reading the thread and the person who hinted at the initials got me googling, and completely came across his profile on accident. Thought it was his old one from when he was an assistant before at first, but then saw the bio where he is being announced today at some point

So basically Boise State decided to stay irrelevant. Makes sense, be average, hire average, expect average. There isn't a college coach in the US worried about Boise State now. If they wanted to stay in this zone, they could have just kept Ihmels.

Were you expecting a return to the Top 25 finishes at Nationals that Maynard had during the mid to late 2000's? You need balance with a few heavy hitters to do that, and being distance heavy won't do it. If you remember, Maynard had Petros on his staff!!! He was the one who brought him into D-I coaching!

Excellent hire, he’s proven more than capable of working with multiple event groups, and has elevated quite a few to achieve high levels of competition. He has a great philosophy that enables people to buy into his coaching style.

Chris will never leave Milligan

8. Whoever ends up getting hired is terrible and the school could've done so much better.

Part of the Kennesaw State job description:

8. Serves as a Campus Security Authority as defined by the Jeanne Clery Disclosure

This is boilerplate language in all coaching positions.

9. Coach xyz is getting fired because the athlete don't like him. He is mean.

10. Coach xyz must be out because 3 athletes are in the portal

11. Coach xyz isn't a real Coach they are just a stop watch/ clipboard holder.

12. Mid majors will no longer operate

13. Petros is the front runner for every job

14. It's time for xyz to retire his time is up
