Serious post here. Who are the best and worst coaches/programs of the year for College XC? This should factor in the strength of the recruiting classes, though more importantly the ability of coaches to keep teams less injured, combined with the ability to develop talent.
Wetmore and Smith come to mind as top coaches under this criteria as well as Tracey. Gondak at Penn seems to meet this criteria
The converse here is that there are many coaches blessed with talented recruiting classes that struggle most years.
What are the best coaches doing well? What are the worst coaches not doing well?
Thoughts?
