Lol this hasn't aged well. That cheater got banned for two doping offenses: missing 3 tests (not just 1) and falsifying evidence. 3 years. Bye cheater.
Six individuals and two relay teams will represent the Tennessee track & field programs next week at the 2024 NCAA Division I Indoor National Championships. Only one representative is from distance. Ross is fine, Carlson is the one on the hot seat.
He inherited a program that was 3rd in the NCAA. Every point of that team returned to the NCAA. Two years later and you’re lucky to be 30th? Ouch.
Not every point returned from the 3rd place team. Many transferred out.
Favour Ashe transferred to Auburn
Pinnock to Arkansas
McLeod to Arkansas
But Ross is still doing extremely bad and will likely be fired soon.
To be fair he booted some of those kids out he also brought a lot of that A and T team that top 5 ( minus his son obviously) with him and haven't come close to that success

Only 3 total entries of those are in the top 8
Unless they run out of their mind they're probably looking at like 20-30 for the men and 10-20 for the ladies.
Not what he's getting paid half a mile for
Bump. Somehow did even worse then I thought on the men's side along with a 17th place womens finish.
Hard to even imagine them being this bad considering the resources they gave him
Duane Ross has been doing a great job haha. Look at how well he has developed on the women's side. Sears, and taylor became all-stars in knoxville. This was only his 2nd season of rebuilding a program. 2-4 more years and they will be back in that fight for first. I believe people are way to harsh on coaches on here. Going from A&T to competeing against Chris Johnson, Mouse, Carrol Smith, and others is a big change!

You can't convince me that 8th at SECs and 44th at NCAAs is "great"
The TikTok stories about him and Tennessee not doing him any favors :/
i’ve been waiting for this thread to show up again because of that stuff. not a good look at all. the current tennessee athletes being hostile online isn’t helping either.
