Kieth Rieter is a good multi coach he has done well at McNeese and at tiffin. Also the jumps/ multi coach at Texas state and the multi guy from SIU is decent

Never paid attention to any of their work, but I’d add Ryan Grinnell and Gray Horn to the “up and coming” list for jumps and combined events. Ryan has Petros in his pocket, Gray seems to produce. Will be fun to see what happens this summer

Who is up and coming for sprints and distance?

I think Reynaldo Radlin at Grand Valley has a big career ahead of him

Anyone who coaches at Grand Valley for a few years will have a great resume. Anyone. Do not gt me wrong. They have great coaches. But the crop of depth and talent never runs dry.

you're always sucking on GLIAC coaches D's

Very true it will be interesting to see. Does anyone know anything about East stroudsburg?

While you are correct that it never runs dry, I think it's a bit more a testament to the coaching that helps build that talent more so than the talent recruited. Especially in the sprints/hurdles.

Justin St Clair to Texas A & M. When, is the Question.

Neil Serefenas to Florida

Yep, way easier to add oil to an engine rather than build it.

Seems like there will be a lot of dominos falling in the jumps & multi-events this summer. Who are some of the best up and coming coaches in that area?

Who wants to know? You looking to hire outside of your event area? Jumps/multis jobs range from GA to Head Coach, like distance jobs, so this is a pretty vague question to try to answer.

Also, multi event athletes out of high school have either never completed a hep/dec, or are absolute beginners, still, at at least one or two events. So newbie multi coaches are less likely to know how to train newbie multi athletes (especially decathletes) on abbreviated training schedules without getting them injured.

You can usually spot an inexperienced multi coach by how many open events their heptathlete or decathlete is entered in at conference, on top of the hep/dec itself.

That didn’t answer the question, and can you explain some of your points . I don’t agree with them but I’m very curious to learn what gives you this conclusion

Why not doug reynolds to florida? Is he just done with SEC coaching after Kentucky and Alabama?

...soooo Tyra Gittens won the pent, got 3rd in the open LJ & won the open HJ as well at indoor nationals. Sean Brady must not know what he's doing.

Doug is probably the head coach I’m waiting at Arizona. If he takes karate he would probably be groomed to take over there aswell.

I very specifically said at the conference meet. If you have a potential national point scorer, you don’t have them do a two day outdoor hep or dec plus several open events. That will usually not allow enough time for them to peak at nationals. If they aren’t likely to score at nationals then yeah, chase all the conference points you can, avoiding injury.

Have you ever coached a high-level multi-event athlete?

What if the head coach is trying to win conference meet and you have to for points? You have a pretty closed mindset.

if i'm not mistaken she competed in those same event for the conference meet as well. but oops my bad that was the pent & not the hep. Guess we will see what happens at the outdoor conference & national meet. I have a feeling the results will be very similar.

I, and probably many others, could care less about this back and forth...can we get back to coaching positions?

Cool.

Who’s leaving after their conference meet? Who’s retiring? Who’s leaving after the national meets?
