2022 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Racism... explain.

Mizzou settled a racial discrimination lawsuit involving Halter.

Agreed. I think Mike values where he lives, and Flag>Eugene by lightyears. He’s a great coach anywhere, but he’s probably the best coach he can be at NAU.

If it’s about the $, he can always keep adding pros for supplemental income/a potential transition plan to stay in Flag even if he gets out of the collegiate game.

Let this man live his life!!!!!

Any truth to Wazzu staff being let go?

Wazzu or mizzu?

Wouldn't surprise me. John Chaplin in his old age might be doing some behind the scenes work, as he wasn't exactly thrilled that WSU hired Wayne Phipps.

NC A&T job has been decided

SN coaches looking for jobs, pay attention. 1. You have to have a strong network that will vouch for you. If you don’t have someone who will call a head coach or AD on your behalf then what are you doing. 2. Be wary of the decent paying jobs with A LOT of turnover. That head coach is probably not good. I mean turnover through the years. Not head coaches taking over programs. They just have to get the right combo of people.

So who takes over at:

NC A&T

UCONn

SFA

those are the ‘stronger mid major’ jobs. Don’t say Oregon ucla etc. those places are not looking to make a change, clearly. Bviously some good assistant coaching gigs (Tennessee, Auburn etc etc)

Who does Leroy hire as his distance coach? There's a guy with Auburn connections who's probably available in Chris Fox now that Reebok Boston is all but done.

Forgot Houston!

Saw American on this list recently. Still open and what position?

Yeah because we are just going to continue to be okay with recycling the old coaches!? Aren’t you seeing what’s happening already with the retirements and the hiring of someone like Carlson. Recycling is going out. Keep the guy currently at Auburn he’s not doing a bad job, if that was Chris fox 25 years ago would he be the coach he is known as now if he wasn’t given a fair chance?

Or… hear me out… try hiring fresh and young coaches. I know handfuls of former student-athletes — most who ran pro — who can’t even get their foot in the door. It seems that mediocre with years of not-so-impactful coaching is preferred to a young coach with energy and a big vision.

The recycling has got to stop.

Petros interviewing at SFA?

What staff? The only ones left are Phipps and the throws coach.

Since there seems to be a revolving door of D1 coaches, what would be the best d2/d3 coaches to go after? Damon Martin ever leaving Adams?

Not a chance, without the home course advantage and the rumors about Tennessee. I could foresee a 5th or 6th finish at best.
