A head coach usually has a "pool" of money of money to pay all his assistants' salaries. If he has 5 assistants. Either they are all avg and make the same meager salary (unlikely) or the high profile assistants make more, the "new guy" make less.

Kent being hired at Purdue says it all, he has ZERO coaching experience. As a director of ops you're not even allowed to assist with coaching. It's amazing how unprofessional this profession has become.
Rolando must be wondering why he can't seem to hang on to a distance coach at a University like Purdue, 3 coaches in 5 years? Not professional. If you think that buying the plane tickets and reserving hotels for Oregon will make you the next Bowerman- thats full blown retard.
like other coaches before him at purdont with zero coaching experience he will be in over his head managing that area. last year they showed some life only to begin another slow death
I disagree! I think Kent will do a great job! I bet he's already got the hotels reserved and everything.
thats what his experience is... so im sure the hotels are all booked. i guess time will tell. hartman left him some good athletes to work with
Hartman made 54,500 according to the website. So I'm sure he'll get 45,000. Not a bad job. Way to go Jeff.
Article about Solinsky's hiring at W&M: http://www.tribeathletics.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=25100&ATCLID=209605920
I don't see anyone posting about how Solinsky has no experience. fools.
Chris was the assistant distance coach at Portland. not to mention the world class experience he brings from his own career. So I wouldn't say "no experience" as it relates to coaching.

So you think Solinsky was really doing some serious coaching at Portland. Further, you think no director of ops anywhere is present at practice to observe and "assist". You don't think a Dir. of Ops in sprints sits with the sprint coach or Dir of Ops with a distance background sits with the distance coach.. they don't consult.. strategize.. bounce ideas off of each other..
Good Luck.
World Class running has nothing to do with coaching, either.
Chris will likely make a fine coach, as will Kent. They both have similar "resume" experience. Don't be so naive.
Idaho did phone interviews yesterday and should make an offer today or this weekend.
I guess we will find out this fall and spring. But I think we can agree that there is an undeniable difference from bouncing ideas and watching workout to solely being responsible for the recruiting and performance of a major program. Otherwise it's like saying you can read a book written by (name a successful coach) and have the same degree of success because you know how they did it. It's about experience and application. So again... We will see. Good luck to them. I'm just surprised by these choices...
I spend the early mornings, late afternoons on the phone. My AC's do as well. It isn't all about coaching,recruiting is the lifeblood. First campus visits in three weeks!

So this guy is Dir. of Ops in a highly successful program for 5 years and progresses to a decent Big-5 Conference job. You seem dumbfounded by this.? Don't you realize that's why people to dir. of ops jobs... because that is the natural progression into coaching. Learn behind and be secretary to the best, then earn your way. You're a fool. Don't be upset because you went the route of being moderately successful at a DIII program that no one's heard of.
I actually coach DivI you moron. I've coached 7 distance/mid-distance athletes to 21 AA honors in 6 yrs between XC/in/out. I did apply for the job and didn't even get a call. What have you done? What has Kent done?
It's who you know!
Timing is everything.
theres no formula
