The Northeastern men’s and women’s track and field teams brought top finishes back to Huntington Avenue from meets in two different states last weekend, despite being down head coach Sherman Hart after his March 29 suspension

That Northeaster cluster f*ck is bs. At least the way they replaced the head coach. A 3rd year minority female coach was named the interim head while the white male 6th year coach was over looked.
Mike Curcio accepted the job at Queens University of Charlotte. Announcement won't be made until after NCAAs due to his current contract with Appalachian State University. His decision to leave for Queens is in line with John Weaver's retirement from ASU after this season.
ASU will certainly promote from within for the position.
any other names been thrown out recently for the UNC job? are they going sprint/field oriented with people like Johnson?

Let's hope so, Distance/XC as head T&F coaches hurt the sport of T&F particularly in the sprints and field.
This job pays $8k, it is a 10 month appointment with no benefits. Yet is has Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited institution and two (2) years of experience at a collegiate level in cross country as either a coach or athlete. Must have CPR/AED certification or to obtain within two (2) months of employment. Must have a valid Class E driver’s license and the ability to travel throughout the country.
Let's take advantage of those who like the sport so much that they will take this position.

Complete fabrication. Curcio withdrew his name from Queens a long time ago. When they called back he still said no. Weaver is not retiring either.
Amherst Women's job is posted. I thought this was posted last summer. I see the assistant is currently serving interim. Did they not fill the position? Is this just a formality to now give the assistant the job? Anyone have any insight?

Just a formality.
Amherst would be idiots just to "give it to an assistant." They could be ridiculous in women's cross country and actually build a pretty decent program if they made an effort to hire someone experienced. Rumor has it last year since the job posted late, they didn't really like any of the candidates. The current interim guy has a full time job and just agreed to take over for the year.
QFE
Only not true if Curcio denies it. ASU wants to wait until after recruiting season... Mikey is Charlotte bound!!
If UNC goes the sprints/hurdles route with they keep the current head distance coach?

Any more details on this??
The admin has made their choice, the new head will be announced Wednesday May 9th. Dont ask why itll take so long, its a state school. From what I hear, this coach will have high moral and ethical standards, something new for a head of this program.
From what the head men's coach says, the assistant position will open up, but is pretty much secured with current AC, Nicholas Lara.
the new guy (person) will hire whoever he (OR SHE! HINT HINT) wants. Stop Trolling

Stop spreading rumors. Obviously you have something to gain from telling lies that Curcio is leaving.
Confirmed Curcio is headed to queens, Blackwelder is to be his replacement and take over his alma mater!!!! Huge congrats to both!!!
Can we get a link to some announcement for the Queens job? Hearing through the grapevine that Curico has the job is no confirmation.......
Jobs That Matter (In order of importance):
Oregon, Ole Miss, Ohio State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Columbia??
Who's looking where?
Any word on Queens or any other openings?
