Helen Lehman-Winters is out at Oregon....another talented female coach out when we so desperately need women coaches. Such a shame but not surprising at a NIKE school. such a shame if they replace her with a male coach.
As a well-known TV character once said "it's a dog-eat-dog world, and I'm wearing milkbone underwear".
No one should ever feel entitled to any job...PERIOD...regardless of their sex, orientation, or any other so-called characteristic. PERIOD. END OF TRANSMISSION.

Why would you choose the best person for a job based on gender, color, or anything else that has nothing to do with performance?

Because of the historical disadvantages of being a woman or person of color in the working world. If you’re satisfied with white men holding all the key employment positions, then leave things alone. If you’d rather see more diversity among those positions, then something needs to be done to create more opportunities for women and people of color.

This opinion is exactly what is wrong in the western world.
who cares about diversity? I care about results. If she was a good coach she would still have a job. It’s that simple. There is no one above her saying “she is a woman, gotta get rid of her asap”
Terrible results = getting axed. But yes, continue being a typical liberal and crying about identity politics when someone just isn’t skilled at a job.
Agreed! If she wanted to keep her job while not delivering she should have been born a white male. I don’t know why that’s so hard for some people.

No difference between this and any corporation. A new CEO is brought in and they replace the senior management team with their own handpicked crew. The dismissed coach will get a nice buyout/severance package and a few months of vacation. She will end up at another D1 program before too long.
Powers that be at OU want a distance heavy team filled with American recruits.
- Johnson won, but with sprinters
- Lehman-Winters did not win and could not recruit US athletes.
Lehman-Winters WOULD NOT recruit US athletes. They signed one talented homegrown Oregon girl last year for no money because the athlete's mother works at the university and enjoys a huge discount. A lot of very talented local kids would love to go to Eugene but got offers elsewhere because of her disinterest in domestic and local talent.
My sources say that it made Uncle Phil very unhappy to see talented locals going to OSU, Washington, Georgetown, Princeton, U of Portland, etc. without getting so much as a recruiting letter or a courtesy unofficial visit invitation from the old regime.
