I would say that being hesitant to send kids to Seattle Univ is pretty understandable but any criticisms of how the program has gone about their business for the last 10+ years is more a reflection of how the program was run (pun) by the distance staff. There was never an effort made on the part of the distance staff to reach out and actively recruit. Rather, they would take who came to them, which is not conducive to success. Additionally, their own running careers took precedence over that of their athletes (seriously?) Whoever the school decides to hire is going to be an immediate upgrade in nearly all aspects (training, philosophy, belief, relationships, recruiting, etc.) There is really no debate as to where SeattleU falls with respect to the programs at Gonzaga and UP but with a change in distance leadership there's nowhere to go but up for the Redhawks.
STFU about Seattle U.
Enough.
Consider that asu did not put much money into distance. Hiw much you want to bet that dumbles crew alone will score more than that team ever has within 1year? Cross is only 1/3 of the sport. Very hard for many of you to see past that.

Terrible hire at Oregon State. But Dumble and he can partner up in a harder to recruit place than ASU and be bad where the admin and apparently alums don't care.
The Quintana led Arizona St cross team placed behind Oregon St last year so great job going out and getting a proven head or a proven winner. ASU scored 1 point on the track at conference in distance in the spring. Weak move but expected one.
You better get your facts straight before bashing a successful distance coach like Barreau. He was one of the most successful distance coaches CNU has ever had. He brought their distance program into the National spotlight finishing 11th at nationals. His athletes have shattered every CNU distance record and many CAC records since he has been there. Barreau didn't do anything to get fired, it was Wingard, head coach of TF at CNU that did not like Barreau's success overshadowing his own and therefore forced him to sign a resignation letter, which then Barreau rescinded. Wingard has had a hand in the termination of six successful coaches at CNU since he has held the job of head TFXC. Talk about the wrong person being let go. I warn anyone applying for the CNU XC job, beware you don't become too successful or you will be forced to resign as well. Treehugger, next time you want to bash a beloved, successful coach, find another outlet.
What happened at Azusa? Both Reid and Barnett left. If they couldn't get along with each other, why did both leave?

What's going on with Ryan Grinnel?
Weber State is open. Walker retires.
Looks like USC has hired or is close to it.

What's going on with UNH, is hoppler out?
I don't know who Barreau is and I had never heard of CNU before this thread. No disrespect, I'm sorry you lost your coach who you all obviously liked and respected. But. He's coached at 7 schools in 12/13 years? Apparently got canned this time because of issues with the HC? Sounds like a guy who needs to learn his role. If he's not the director, he should defer. Period. I tell my staff all the time that we have to be on the same page, and if they can't do that, I'll replace them. Simple as that.
I hope the kid lands on his feet, and you guys can sign your petitions or whatever, but ultimately, you need to let it go. They'll bring in a new coach. Either run for that guy or dont, but don't act like it's some great tragedy. Good coaches get fired all the time. Just because you like a guy doesn't mean he's impeccable or above reproach. And maybe the HC sucks, but he's still the HC, and if you cross him, this is what happens.
Spoken like a true douche bag of a HC

right! i hire my assistants based on best on who i think is the best coach not best fit and then i let them be themselves. Why hire them if you want to control everything they do? Don't stifle your hires. Hell I want my assistants to be better or smarter than me, why would you want to hire someobody you thought was beneath you? lots of small wiener attitudes in this profession really scary.
