With the previous distance coach? He and the Georgia coach are both officially out? What’s going on because I would assume neither Georgia nor Vandy is looking for heavy points out of distance.

Why is he out?
Not sure but he seemed like an odd hire to begin with. Althea maybe didn’t see him being the right fit after some time or maybe he has accepted another position. Either way I would assume AT is someone who doesn’t waste time if something or someone isn’t working out.
Looks like a Vanderbilt runner finished in 2nd in 16:15 in the 5000 yesterday at U20 and then was DQed for shoes. Rule 143.3. Anybody know what she was wearing?https://live.athletictiming.net/meets/38602/events/individual/144...
Probably so, with men not having track there’s no reason to have a man leading that distance group. Could we see in the next 10 years an NCAA where 80-90% of the coaches are female or minority? I believe so and I’m all for it

You do understand that not sooooo long ago that there was a plethora of jobs that POC folks were blocked from, couldn't get, be considered for, or let alone even be in the same places and spaces as white people. That include folks of color that were the smartest in the room but dismissed because of some extra melanin. The "lost" portion of your response displayed a bit of ignorance.
Absolutely nothing wrong with you speaking on these matters, and some of us do care- just that one part skipped a whole historical context that still affects a lot of people today.
I am not against checking some boxes. What I am against is just hiring someone without interviewing a top 3 even if you do already know but at least give 2 other ppl a fair shake. Just maybe you’ll see they may be better than the one you were just going to hire. Seems like that usually ends in disappointment
Boxes are checked on all jobs. Some situations don't have or need 3 candidates and life ain't fair. A person make check all the "qualifications on paper" boxes, but candidates also need to be vetted- this is where a lot of folks miss out. If your personality/character sucks; you mistreat student-athletes/folks around you; undermine leadership; have an inability to discipline/control the athletes you are over; can't follow rules, etc. etc. also plays a part. So being the most qualified doesn't automatically mean you should bag the job. Coaches/ADs are always watching- so how you represent yourself definitely plays a part well before you apply for that future job.
Bringing a particular number of candidates to campus is at the department's disgression. Some school's HR dept are like- if you know who you want, you don't have to bring them in- " Just let them know the terms of the contract and they'll get the hiring process started!" Hell, most interviews happen at championship meets and conventions anyway. Which is why if you want or need a job, you go- even if you don't have athletes in the meet- to be seen and chop it up.
If you or some uber-qualified person you know keeps getting passed over on jobs- the common denominator is YOU.
Yes, the athletic department at Vandy is just one big DEI project. They don't even pretend to try, despite that big $EC money.
You must not be paying attention because they're spending like $350 million on athletics facilities upgrades as I type this. An entirely new basketball practice/operations building, a massive upgrade to the football stadium, and they've announced huge upgrades to the baseball stadium as well
Vandy was really good at women's XC in like 2011 and then Steve Keith got sick. They should be good at distance running given the city and degree they can sell to recruits
