I agree, what is the history of GSU XC?
Have they started interviewing for the position yet?
As i see it, the old head XC coach caught the old AD in a lie. I believe it was over Title 9(?) or whatever rule states how many male/female scholarships a school can have. This had become an issue because GSU started football and the XC coach just wanted to make sure his program wasn't in jeopardy of being cut (Back when Georgia Southern started football they cut Men's Running). Also, the head XC had done his thesis on this Title issue and knew what the rules were. The old AD (who had a chip on her shoulder) decided that instead of admitting it that she would make it a living hell for the XC coach, so he ended up bringing a lawsuit against the school. Politically , this made it even worse for the coach and he decided he couldn't stay (the suit was settled). Out of loyalty and because she was miserable too the asst XC coach quit too.
Don't know if they've started interviewing. I do know they are actively recruiting athletes. The asst XC coach had some kids in this weekend for visits.
I welcome others opinion on this.
