    Darrell Smith (formerly of UCLA) has landed at Cal Poly Pomona.

    So I think everyone from last year's UCLA staff, except for Maynard, has found a new spot.

    Coaching Rule # 125: Never use your athletes as transferring pawns to the athletic director after the head coach gets fired and your status is in limbo. I have never seen this tactic work in all of my years of coaching. Hence, you end up coaching at Cal Poly Pomona.

    Are there any benefits to getting a strength and conditioning certification ?

    If you want to oversee anything in the weightroom, yes.

    When I took the US Track Coaches Association S&C course, at least 3/4 of the class were college fb and t&f coaches who needed the cert to oversee and implement strength programs for their athletes. The NCAA now requires they be certified.

    I had a similar proportion in my class.

    And also, perhaps more to the point, the class was really helpful.

    Agreed. Anything Boo does is outstanding and well worth a coach's time.

    Rule #1 Never spread rumors that are factually untrue. Darrell never used his athletes as pawns, the administration was told by those athletes they were transferring before ever talking to him. The minute the administration informed the team of the coaching change, the so called threat was issued by the athletes. It was never a threat though, it was a statement of fact. In the end, the kids transferred BEFORE Darrell's fate was even decided.
    Just wanted to set the record straight since you clearly know nothing about what really happened.

    Highly doubtful since most XC coaches are assistant T&F coaches and most coaches' contracts go to mid summer

    "most coaches' contracts go to mid summer"

    False. "most" coaches sign salary agreements - not contracts - and are at will, meaning they can be fired at any time.

    Who are the leading contenders to replace Paul Olsen at Augustana? Will there be a ton of applicants or will people shy away from having to follow someone who was there 52 years and seems to be extremely beloved by the school and alumni?

    Great to hear from you, Darrell. We aren't blaming you for trying that tactic. But it just doesn't work.
