So all these white coaches that are out here doing dirt and Actually getting caught, some who date, marry, abuse power are not getting called out. Oh and some keep their jobs and/or get rehired at other places of prestige.

K.D. is no monster, so stop this silly crap, if you have a problem with him, be a human being and express it to him direct.

This is probably KD.

In any case, this is an equal-opportunity hater forum. You're probably right that his twitter account doesn't amount to making him a bad guy or a bad coach. But folks on here crap on everyone who is successful. Those who mess with their athletes and many who don't always get called out and its never about race. The loser wanna-be's on this forum want to take down anyone they see having what they want.

Correct. If a white coach boasted about turning down job offers they didn't get/being up for every important job out there all while never having done anything of any real significance in the coaching world (Ohio State's indoor female champ was not coached by him BTW) and posted sophomoric material on their social media...they'd be called out for being douche bags too.

You’re absolutely correct. The main idea for any coach is to not play around with this internet stuff. If you like to sleep with multiple women, drink booze every night, whatever vices human beings may have that is done in private that may not make you the best human being especially coach or authorative figure.. at least it’s PRIVATE. As a person in a public position the worse thing you can do is something that can garner skepticism publically!! No one will bash you on letsrun because of your heavy beer consumption because THEY DON’T KNOW!! Don’t give anyone ammo because like the last guy said, theirs ppl on here who will never get a job and are butt hurt over it!

Seriously people. Let's move on from KD and Andrea drama and talk about other jobs! If you want to debate and argue about these two or anyone else start another thread! We don't care. Let's talk about some jobs that are still open. Anyone have any insights on these?

Northwestern (Head women's XC)

Eastern University (Head XC and Head Track)

King University (Head XC and Track)

Wisconsin Parkside (Head XC and Track)

University of Miami (Asst XC and Track)

Boston University (Director)

Colorado Mesa (XC/Asst Track)

Rubs many the wrong way, but probably somewhat unfairly because they’re jealous of a woman getting such a great position. She did a great job at UConn and Iowa state was fine. The question is whether she can direct a whole program? Perhaps they’re putting all resources into distance and plan to stink at conference track meets going forward?

Thanks. FWIW, I know one recruit who’s talked to her since the news broke about the director and Andrea said she had no idea what was going to happen, only that she’d thrown her hat in the ring but genuinely seemed to not know what the decision would be.

Ive been around this coach at different times in her career and I think she a genuinely good person at heart. Maybe a lil to her self or sometimes comes off as her S**t don’t stink but that can be said about many of these distance coaches that believe they have “arrived”. But you never really know someone until you’ve spent some time talking to them

This is ridiculous. It's not a race thing. Liking porn on Twitter is not something I'd like ANY coach to do publicly. Chances are he didn't know that other people can see what he likes on there. I'm not calling him a monster, but it is what it is.

How about I start a new thread called 2019 Coaching Openings and get away from this circus. Let it go people!

Oh relax. You're not getting a job anyway.

Is the division supervisor at the insurance company you work at looking over your shoulder in your cubicle while you try to sneak looks at letsrun? You're frustrated that people are clogging up the forum and not giving you the opportunity to gain information that is either completely false and/or wildly speculative and has no legitimate impact on your job search?

Think that at some point someone will say, "Hey I'm the secretary for the AD at UNC and they say Joe Blow at the Geico office in Buffalo is a lock for the Director job!" Then you can give the finger to the regional assistant manager and storm out?

Any news on the Toledo job? Is it posted yet?

I heard Tom Slosky left Duquesne University.

Vanhoy to UNC. Done deal.

Whose job is this at Georgia?

Wake Forest sprints also open. What’s going on there?

Imagine being the idiot that asks for confirmation on a troll topic that’s 2 years old.
