2024 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

You’re so passionately racist…..

what is your real name? I sure hope you aren’t involved in our sport in any real way at all.

This is an incredibly brain dead and ignorant take.

Coach Christo

Absolutely. Why separate church and state in a country where separation of church and state is fundamental to its constitution? Simply brain dead.

Colorado Mesa AD at it again, ignoring what was the obvious hire all the athletes supported. Job should be going to Tim Reetz. He earned it. My man has been crushing it. Been here 6 years and easily best coach here and the AD going with an outsider! Know we have your back T

Who are they going with?

Assistant Track Coach, Horizontal and Vertical Jumps | Job Details tab | Career Pages (schooljobs.com)

One of our conference schools is looking for a jumps coach. Idk the head guy, but seems like they have a big staff.

Still nothing on the FSU job? feel bad if it's not someone internal, anyone coming from the outside will likely want to bring in their own staff and it leaves the current coaches scrambling last minute. assistant coaches due enough, the last thing you would want to stress about is whether you'll have a job or not... when things are in limbo it affects the coaches ability to recruit and incoming kids to make decisions. Not only FSU but any other program the administration needs to think about things like this and be ready to make prompt decisions.

Movement at UCSB. They have a revolving door there. Wait until this one all comes to light.

1. Separation of church and state is to protect the church.

2. You can have a women only, black only, gay only, Jewish only, or Christian only organization when it comes to employees.

3. Christian Universities admit any kind of student, including atheists, agnostics, and students from other faiths. Those students may have government funding.

I’m liberal. This is just tolerance.

What happened to Coach Acklin? He was doing a great job. he finally had the program moving in the right direction

Moved to Abilene Christian as associate head

Meaders returned after his disappointing tenure at UNC. He has solid administrative experience and is dependable. Nothing wrong with that after Bob. Who else internally is qualified to take over?

Apparently Matt Kane is

40k in Boston is Criminal

From the presser it would seem "only" a bit over 40 applied for this position.

Shouldn't a prominent position as this yield a higher number of applicants?

Or is it the case that some felt they didn't have a chance so they chose not to apply?

They will just hire one of the Malones. There have been no real shakeup hires this season.
UCLA hires Joanna Hayes from across the street.
Purdue allegedly promotes T.Miller to head.
Kansas State probably hiring their own throws coach.

With all the turmoil of P4 (P2) football and NIL, I think a lot of these AD don't want another headache searching for an Olympic sports head coach out of the ether. If there's no team calamity then they just promote from within.
