"He was named 2008 Southeast Region Assistant Coach-of-the-Year by the U.S. Track & Field coaches' association because of his efforts. Johnson's groups were a big reason the Hokies claimed four straight ACC championships and two consecutive NCAA East Region titles in the women's program since 2006-07. In 2007, Johnson was named National Assistant Coach-of-the-Year for women's sprints and hurdles."
He kept everyone. All the women's coaches.
A sure sign of his inexperience. It he wants it to be his team he should can them all. There is no one on staff that he couldn't replace in 10 days.
So does anyone know why he kept the womens coaches and who will be coaching mens distance?

My son is going to be a high school senior and was thinking of going to Clemson.
if your son is a sprinter/hurdler, it seems like a good call.
If he's a distance runner, direct him toward louisville or virginia. Similar profiles to clemson (virginia's academics are better than clemson or louisville) with WAY better teams and resources for distance guys. I can't see why anyone looking in the south right now wouldn't look at Louisville, unless they want higher academics, in which case they should look a little east toward Charlottsville and Williamsburg.
BS. Screw William & Mary. What are people thinking.
Why the hate on W&M dude. You too can go there and be 1 of 70 men to never travel.
To keep the women coaches for at least might have been part of the deal. Just a thought.
you are probably right...but what are your thoughts on who he will get for men's distance? I can't imagine the womens distance coach would be coaching both teams?
maybe the A.D. told him to keep the coaches who were on the staff as part of his contract.
Not an intellegent statement. An undergratuate degree is just that- an undergraduate degree. a 3.7 GPA from Rowan University is better than a 2.0GPA from Princeton. Ask any grad school admissions office...

Imagine it. Gordon Thomas is coaching men & women distance runners this school year.
Tim Hall, sprint/hurdle coach @ Uni of Charlotte (06' Region Asst Coach of the Year), is reported to be added to Johnson's staff within the next few weeks.

I've been letting most stuff go, but:
The apostrophe goes in place of what's missing. What's missing in the above is the initial "20"--so that's what the apostrophe replaces: " '06 "
gordon thompson
I think there a 3 womens coaches & 1 mens who have not left yet- I think there are supposed to be 6 total coaches (including himself?) I'm not sure he will even hire two?
Are you kidding me, Tim Hall is a great coach, as is Lawrence - Just because they did not hire you shut the hell up. I guess Shareese Woods winning the bronze medal at the indoor world games does not mean much to you, Hall coached her moron. Buddy? L. Johnson knows what is on the line and he is not going to hire his buddy try a qualified coach and Tim Hall is that, look what he did at UNC Charlotte. At least Srpints is taken care.
but there is an indoor WORLDS meet you idiot...and that is what the posted said!!!

Shoe contracts are not based off what person can do indoors. Most elite athletes and their coaches ignore the indoor World championships. But not for the young and dumb coaches that you are refering to brother!
exactly! all sprints & no distance coaches being hired
