2024 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Mesa is looking for a new head dude

I'm pretty sure Mesa is looking for new at every position

What happened at Colo Mesa? They seemed to have a good staff with good results.

...the business of college athletics.

Their entire coaching staff was collateral damage due to a new AD having already made up their mind that they were cleaning house regardless of the success of the program this season. Hats off to the staff for holding things together all spring and guiding both the men's and women's teams to 2nd place finishes in the RMAC Outdoor Championships. Their Head Coach Brad Gamble was even named the RMAC Indoor and Outdoor Men's Coach of the Year. Go figure.

Saw Ball State post an xc position. Is Angelina heading somewhere new?

Probably following a head coach to become the xc coach at FSU?

Anyone know what event area the Kennesaw State position is for?

What is going on at Coast Guard? Did Ahnrud leave? Are they changing his title and had to post the job?

This sounds so strange. What are the reasons for cutting a whole staff that has been successful?

Potential reasons that come to my mind would be:
-She has a previous coach she has worked with that she wants to bring there.
-She wants to cut the budget/staff of the program
-She plans to cut the program completely

Has any reason been given for such a radical, seemingly illogical, change?

I have heard they are moving towards cutting the programs

Devin West is a great guy. He has moved job to job because of folks seeking him out as a phenomenal recruiter, following opportunity, and family life that has drawn him in different places. Not because he has been let go. He has an ability to build relationships and connect with recruits and their families. Let’s be honest, recruiting is the building block to any big time program. Not many want to dedicate the effort to it in the way he does. He is a great coach as well, but recruiting is a skill he has that many do not have. As someone who has worked with him, I can say he truly cares about the athletes and it shines through in his recruiting and coaching. Say what you want, but he is a great coach and even better person. #FindDWestHisNextJob

They only built their track facility 3-4 years ago.

Duke distance update?

As long as the same director is there it will be no one good. Duke is pathetic. Angela Reckart and Adam Cooke were literally Dumb and Dumber. Don’t expect anything to be announced until July 1st and don’t except it to get any better

Thanks for the recap Devin.
