Greg Metcalf to Texas

Great hire! I've never heard or seen anything bad about thay guy. Nothing troubling here, all good in Austin

The problem is that everything is bigger in Texas.

Hahahahaha

Oh yeah. Going to be tougher to weight shame athletes when everyone is bigger.

Sark and Metcalf in Texas. The band is back together.

Wouldn't that make it easier to weight shame, since everyone is of a more shameful weight?

That's some funny stuff!

Is this confirmed or just speculation?

This news must be a great weight off UT's XC Athletes

Up there with Rick Barnes in the coaching pantheon.

Wooooooooooosssssshhhhhhhhh!!

This is a HUGE hire for UT. An enormous amount of excitement has to be spewing over in Austin. I’m sure they’re busting at the seems to get this news out. their’s going to be an oversized amount of love for Greg upon his arrival.. can’t wait to see the heavy contribution he has on the program! This will tip the scale for The UT track and field program to make that push for a national title. Look for a big press conference soon!

I actually think it is a good hire. The guy was very successful at Washington but he lost perspective. He has probably reigned his intensity it in a bit.

Also, there are other factors in his favor at UT. One, he won't be working with women, so disordered eating will be less of an issue. Also, Texas athletics fosters more of a professional attitude, compared to Washington. More of a get the job done or get out mentality by the admin, which fits him.

Still have not seen this confirmed.
