never said Kennedy was a good coach, but was a really good recruiter.
And I said Kennedy isn't exactly a great recruiter, Ole Miss or Wisconsin. Forget hiring a guy who's sole purpose is to recruit.

Kennedy did a LOT for Ole Miss. Sean Tobin, Robert Domanic, Trevor Gilley, Ian Carter, etc..... Its the current coach who thinks he is the Jenga master but has pulled his last piece.

Sure they were clearly overrated early in the year, but how can they be this bad? Last two races have been absolute duds. Erb DFL come on......
Anyone know what became of Brian O"Neal? Since he lost his job at Ole Miss in disgrace, he has sort of kept a low profile. Any sightings? Selling used cars?

Where is Brian O'Neal. Is he back in coaching somewhere after he got fired?

I wonder what happened to the "top finishes at NCAA" that the Ole Miss runners predicted after the Louisville meet earlier in the season? See Flotrack interview with MJ Erb and Robert Domanic.

Flotrack, Letsrun, and others have continued to hype this team over the last year or so in xc and in track in large part due to their longing to anoint Vanhoy as the next great young coach. I will admit that I admire what Vanhoy has been able to do so far in his young career and there is no doubt he is still figuring things out and deserves a break or two, but I am not sold. This xc season has been a disaster. Maybe another Vig? Gets solid results in track but not xc? We shall see.
Van Hoy hasn't done anything but walk into a situation where there was a team full of great runners that someone else (Gavin Kennedy) recruited. Same thing at Northeastern, and got the North Carolina job because the head coach quit and he was the last man standing. He did manage to lure some runners away from their schools and is doing his best to ruin their careers. M J Erb is great example. He owes that guy an apology. Others are floundering, too. Dominic, Gilley. Tobin making the best of it but the team is getting progressively worse under VanHOy.

Give credit where credit is due - They ran fast and smart. Clearly Van Hoy has done something correctly here. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Ole miss is the best school out there!!!!! Total domination by the rebels!!!!!
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
