Murray State assistant

Wisconson assistant

Tenn Head coach

Florida Int head coach

Uconn Head women

Ga Southern Head coach

Notre Dame head

Those are some DI's..

Some D3's

Millikin - Director track/xc - didn't they hire for this last year? What's going on there?

Albion - head xc

Ursinus -head xc/track

McMurry - head track

Macalester - head track - are they splitting this from xc?

The final four are pretty solid D3 jobs. Albion has to deal with Calvin, Mac has St. Olaf amongst others- but is more than competitive, McMurry should get tons of sprinters, Ursinus has everyone out there but a good school.

And the University of Missouri XC and Assistant Track job is open!!!

No he is not he is going to be Head Coach at a NAIA school in the state.

Lonnie Greene is a great coach, but Purdue's admissions standards won't ever allow him to show how great he is

what other schools have high admission requirements but win the ncaa? I know theres a few that have -- Stanford? What about other sports? Basketball -- Georgetown, UCONN, Duke. They win big with high standards. I think admissions gives these programs latitude.

Such a stupid statement. Webb model also screwed Tennessee two years before he retired. No recruits!

I love tenn. Coaches win ncaa champs (Webb, Clark) ,and yet a few yr later they struggle and they wana throw em to the lions

Some admissions offices do, some don't. In basketball there is a lot more latitude than T&F. I don't think UCONNS normal standards are very high. Georgetown and Duke do not have high standards for basketball players.

Iowa head coach is open but it's an internal hire only. Wonder what's up there? With programs like Tennessee, Idaho,washington state,UCONN,and a few others getting new head coaches things are about to start moving. I wasn't surprised when they "eliminated" Stinzi's job at Wisconsin since a lot of if not all major programs are moving to the 1 head or director model with 5 assistants and maybe a director of ops. Unless your Oregon in which case they have like 10 coaches with volunteers and grad students all together!

Top recruits the two years before Webb Retired:

Michael Ayers Dec- NCAA All American/ Transferred to Georgia

Joe Berry PV- NCAA All American

Zane Breakiron JV- Ranked 3rd in the nation by USATF/ transferred fo FL

Joe Morris Spr- NCAA All American/ Transferred to Colorado

Axel Mostrag Dis- SEC Scorer/Transferred

CharltonRolle Hur- Sec Scorer/ Transferred to Clemson

Michael Seaman PV- NCAA All American/ Transferred

Joe Franklin Dis- SEC scorer

If you want to make an argument I wouldnt say no recruiting, because it was more because of athletes transferring and probably athletes not wanting to come to UT after the coaching change.

And so it begins.... Will Ohio State Combine under Karen?

Track and Field is not a money maker as is football and basketball. Stanford is not all that academically. All athletes move from athletic scholarship to academic scholarship after taking all classes pass/fail, take one class for a grade... ceramics, get an A then it looks like they have a 4.0 GPA.

Don't forget Charleston Southern should have 2 positions open, Distance and Jumps.

The OSU women were 6th and 8th in the 2014 Big 10 Championships.

Sure, make Coach Dennis the Director !
