You must be joking. The K-State in the late 80s and 90s was rampant with EDs and injuries. One of the most toxic environments to train, hands down.
So? Capriotti has the political juice and is in with Knight. That's all that matters. So he blew his athletes' per diem at the casino and they had to come back from spring break early? Let he who hasn't been in that situation cast the first stone.
Why would I want Jerry to move on from the BTC? He'd be swapping a job training some of the fastest pros in the world for an administrative focused job with lots of recruiting and fundraising.
Schumacher does not have close to the adequate people skills to do a schmooze-heavy job like T+F director at Oregon.
Schumacher is absolutely one of the candidates. Believe it or not.
It is a great job, a tough job. Hiring a young XC coach is a mistake as a leader. It is cliche and it will make the program a niche program again. They will hire a female though. It is the smart and Nike move

What female coach has enough clout? Dana, Connie, BAS, maybe Diljeet.
Schumacher is absolutely one of the candidates. Believe it or not.
Schumacher pushes his athletes much, much too hard to be a college coach. He will burn out or drive off real talent. Only really strong - or really lucky - runners can stand up to his workouts week in and week out, and not come away injured. Besides, at U of O they have to run in real meets, not just time trials...
Maybe Amy Deem at Miami, or a dark horse like Dena Evans, who coached at Stanford during the Vin era before getting out of the game?
If Dena Evans got out of the game do you really think she would come back for the biggest pain-in-the-ass / have to make several hundred dimwitted corporate people happy / spend almost no time actually coaching athletes gig like the Oregon job?

Yes. Schumacher has no history of success at the college level.
