Someone with close ties to the WCU and ETSU programs tweeted the following things this afternoon and has since removed them
"The next coach at ETSU is......." and something along the lines of "coaching changes #mindblown"
I don't see why Williamson would leave WCU, but it almost seems like he is.
miller, the sprints coach, what do his kids do at nats? do they ever finish what they are ranked?
Williamson to ETSU, seems very likely now.
What approach does he take to XC? Danny's not big on putting the scholarship dollars in the distance like Walker was...could be a big change for everyone involved.
Once again any word on
Illinois
Missouri
Arkansas
Houston
Oklahoma
Xavier
Penn
E Carolina
N Carolina
N. Florida leaving or not?
Fl St.
Maryland
and any other jobs still out there
Missouri has their girl...
Congrats to Danny! I think everyone's sad to see him leave Western, but what an opportunity for a really great coach. It's hard to imagine Western ever being better than what they are now. Danny worked his a$$ off to develop that program. They've had success at EVERY level (former athlete Manteo Mitchell is a 2012 Olympian).
He'll be missed in Cullowhee, best of luck in Johnson City!
Who would replace Danny?
Jesse Norman at UNCA is a head guy who is an alum. Good coach who has even less than WCU. Williamson has developed a large coaching tree over the years, lots of WCU alum coaching in college
Dave Milner is a class guy who developed several top D1-bound high school runners, like Sean Keveran, before assisting at Belmont. He puts on a high-level open and pro meet, the Music City Distance Carnival where, this year, Whitehaed broke the outdoor master's 4 min mile.

It's nice to have friends
.... So this makes him qualified to be a Head Coach of a D-1 program?!
I am sure the AD is really impressed with his work with accolades as an assistant.
ETSU in its current state would benefit from anyone knowledgeable coaching them. The old school approach worked when they had the Irish pipeline but they don't have that luxury anymore.
Pay attention. Williamson is the new head coach at ETSU.
Stanford hires new Athletic Director Bernard Muir who cut track and XC at Delaware. Perhaps they won't need to hire coaches after all.
You guys don't pay attention. Williamson is HC at ETSU.
How Milner gets mentioned is comical.

That is comical. Who is he? He may be a good distance coach but just saying ive never heard of this milner guy
Well, he has been the distance coach in waiting since last winter. Maybe that's why.
He's been distance coach in waiting for that job...not the HC job as some of these guys have been mentioning a few posts ago.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't know if he's leaving or not, but his resume looks like...
Western 03-04
Adams 04-05
Portland 05-08
Concordia 08-09
Bethune Cookman 09-10
Chris Newport 11-12
If 6 schools in less than a decade isn't a red flag, I don't know what is.
Jake Stewart takes Illinois job. Purdue once again looking for a coach.
