FWIW, my first coaching job raked in less than 2k a YEAR, that was the mid 2000’s, so not crazy long ago

UNC throws did the same. Thrower who graduated from there this past season, now a throws coach in a P4 position… hard to believe that nobody with better experience applied
This is due to coaches becoming more singularly focused on their own event group. He didn’t want to get rid of thr throws just yet, but instead put in a placeholder. Roster limitations means he’s not looking to expand that throws group but he may have a few good ones he doesn’t want to lose but won’t replace them once they graduate.
an experienced coach would want more and would eventually become a potential issue. This kid isn’t gonna recruit hard, especially if he still has his own athletic career to worry about so he may just quit after a few years to focus on that.

So if you knew an athlete who was considering running for TCU, your advice would be? Asking for a friend :-)
My advice would be find a different school. Running for Porter isn't worth it

That was literally two DECADES ago so really it was long ago... Not really relevant to a lot of coaching jobs nowadays. You're either volunteering or usually making at least 10K

Supreme jerk. Good luck though.

Getting back on feet type jobs. Easier to get back in with a low key small program and improve it or go for something higher stakes more successful program. Also, is there hope for some of the small programs where the institution is struggling financially and falling enrollment.

I got to talking to that Coach Porter the other day and he's an alright guy. Johnson and him go way back to the early 90s at UC Davis under Coach Williams. Idk what the hate on Port is but it gotta stop.

Can you elaborate on why he’s a jerk?

not a coach, just a washed up pro not ready to join the real world.

Perfect fit for him. He will be working with someone just like him as a boss. Two of the biggest clowns in the business. Rumor is Chuck gives Lamont the pipe
SMH....Anyone who has been paying attention to either one of them knows they can coach and have proven it at numerous universities where they couldn't get top talent coming out of high school. They have been successful.

Speaking of UC Davis... Did they ever replace drug cheat Biwott?

Shout out to Le Moyne for really showing that they care about their program by offering a competitive salary for their head coach.
No kidding. 51k is BRUTAL for all the headache that comes with coaching. We're all about to be priced out of a job...
Negatives;
- probably limited scholarships for you to give out if any
- no indoor facility
- no outdoor facility
- the roster is made up of kids who were mostly D2 recruits who just happened to be there for the transition to D1
- managing the emotional situation of group of athletes who lost their coach mid-XC season
- judging by the salary probably pretty limited admin support
Positives;
- I have heard that their S&C department is excellent
- Good pool facilities if you are into aquatic cross-training
- Syracuse is a great place to raise a family if you know where to look
- You can make 51k a year work in Syracuse
- Maybe the easiest entry to D1 coaching on the market right now

Kirk Elias, who just retired from Nevada, is the interim coach, according to the roster.

Looks like Marshall is hiring. I think Justin went to an ACC school. Great hire if so.

They’re not going to find a good coach opening a job in the middle of XC season ….

It's a long process to find a new coach. If they start now then they might have one in place for Track. If they don't then they won't.
