Who are the best small DI college coaches? Looking for the coaches that get DII & DIII runners, but know how to develop. The coaches that don't have a whole lot of resources, but still seem to be able to beat schools that are in the Power 5. While they may not be making it to nationals every year, they are at the top of their conference, sending individuals to NCAA meets and know how to develop. Thinking about schools in the SoCon, ASun, Horizon League, Big South, Big West Conference, MAAC, Southland, OVC etc...

Furman would fit your criteria.

Can not to do better than Eric Blake at Central Connecticut State University. Himself a well respected international runner, he's worked wonders with the program.

How about the D3 programs that have developed D1 level runners. John Carroll, Williams, Carleton etc?

SUU, they’re making nationals 1000% this year. And the next year. And the next year.
Houle is that guy, he’s not only “him”. He’s better and smarter than ever.
Ever.

Lyle Weese at Montana State seems to punch well above their weight.
Furman is well funded and Robert Gary has them as perennial contenders to make Nats and almost always has at least individuals qualify in XC and track.
App State has fit that mold in the past but have a new coaching staff this season so TBD.

'Cause the Tulsa program has fallen apart is why. Three female assistants in as many years, the speed coach was let go and is now a student intern and a dozen or so athletes left via the portal over the summer. And having family members (Taylor Gulley) on coaching staff is not a good look.

Nah SUU is actually the most dogwater team in the whole state of Utah. Utah state vastly superior and Utah Valley still a better choice. I run in their conference and they are always trash. Coaching must not be working.

It might be helpful to narrow your search by checking the Regional Rankings.
