Looks like Isaac has found the thread. Ogden and gorgeous are mutually exclusive words.
To you Davis people: it's over. Talley didn't get it. Grow up and stop complaining (especially you, Anderson). He didn't get it because isn't a coaching position! It's a recruiting job and he has no experience recruiting.
Recruiting position or not, everyone at Weber State who has ran with Corbin knows that he was the, hands down, no-brainer choice for the position. Below are Talley's credentials as a HS coach:
Boys Track & Field State Champions – 2008, 2009
Girls Track & Field State Champions – 2004, 2005, 2006
Boys Cross Country State Champions – 2007
Girls Cross Country State Champions – 2007, 2008
Girls Cross Country Team finished 9th at Nike Nationals in 2007
Coached 13 Region Championship Teams
NFHS Utah Boys Track Coach of the Year – 2009
NFHS Utah Girls Cross Country Coach of the Year – 2007
You don't win state meets by being mediocre at recruiting.
Credentials as a runner:
3 Time All-Conference Cross Country at Weber State
3 Time All-Conference Track & Field at Weber State
NCAA Qualifier in the Steeplechase in 2002 (8:47 pr)
Utah Road Racing Circuit Champion – 2003, 2005
Marathon PR – 2:21.31 (St. George 2003)
Finished 49th in the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials Marathon
1st Place – Sedona Marathon (2006); Course Record
Finished 12 marathons and 5 ultra marathons (goal of 100 marathons in lifetime)
Completed the 2009 Wasatch 100
Talley ran for Weber, some of his athletes went on to run for Weber. This was an easy decision...and they got it wrong.
