2023 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Louisville assistant.

Davidson sending out rejection email.

Need not apply

I'd tell you who's job this is, but I don't want to get a post removed again.

I can see you all didn’t click the link to see it’s an announcement not a job posting……

I heard coach Berkeley was mentored under the great track coach Haywood Jablomi.

Brock Moreaux is confirmed I believe.

I heard Tom was getting fired from Baltimore 800 and reached out to Gabby for help. Poor dude, at least he caught a break. This might be a solid move for him if he can learn to develop athletes of collegiate caliber. I fear it will only be temporary, no way he knows what he is doing in XC and Caryl will be very impatient if there aren’t immediate results.

With all of the Scholarship - Academic Aid, Daily Meals - Snacks, Alston Money ~$6,000 / NIL / In-State Lottery Scholarships the “non-funded” SEC XC Coaching Jobs are going to be very different than what they have been in the past. You can legally get an S-A costs covered for significantly less TF Scholarship (countable aid) than it has ever been in the past.

Yes, that’s true but at the same time a school like Georgia is having to cut 10 male XC athletes at the start of the year.

With big football money comes smaller rosters and less ability to develop a full team effectively.

That’s why Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, and South Carolina don’t have men’s XC.

Auburn is in the same boat having to cut athletes this season. Alabama has restricted roster size for XC.

The only SEC men’s program other than Arkansas that looks like it has the ability to thrive is Tennessee.

Vanderbilt only has men’s XC. They do not have a track and field program.

Also have heard that Texas A&M cut upwards of 15 men from their XC roster in the past month alone. Not a good sign for American high schoolers hoping to run for their local SEC schools. If you’re not ready to contribute points right away, they won’t use up 3 Title IX counters on a male distance runner.

Any knowledge on how Tennessee can afford to sign the number of athletes they have?

Can u explain the $6000 Alston money... what does that mean

Education fund. Meant to provide athletes the ability to purchase things needed for school, like laptops, school supplies, etc., if I’m not mistaken.

Some of these programs aren't cutting because they can't afford it. It's literally because the runners don't have the talent to compete at that level right now and the coaches rather focus on winning right now. There are some mid majors that want coaches to focus on having a large roster etc...As a coach, you have to find a balance too many American runners have a false sense of hope about what it takes to run at a high level. Some coaches elect to trim that roster size to cut down on nonsense. Trust me they ain't cutting studs and points scores. They are more than likely cutting t-shirt holders. They will even keep the kids who are good for APR, but if you're average with average grade and you're a headache at times. It's time to go for some coaches
