2017 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Tom Scott from Ashland goes to Coker as head XC and track. Will Ashland ever spend money on an XC/distance coach to keep them around? Hard to build and maintain an established distance program with a rotating coach every couple years.

Syracuse throws open

Eastern Michigan jumps/multis

gotta be a mistake lol where was that posted?

Does Syracuse even have a throws program? They didn't have anyone throw at the ACCs on men's or women's sides

tfrrs said they didnthave a single throws performance

Assistant Position at Southern Oregon University is open.

This is a a very attractive position open for a multi coach.

$40,000 a year and living in Ashland, OR, plus Southern Oregon has been highly successful.

I'm looking for a female hurdle/jump part-time assistant (I will still consider female distance runners that are looking to continue training and can help with office work as well). Job is very entry level as it only provides room and meals (19-meals per week in dining hall).

Option to work other part-time jobs on campus.

"Potential" for position to turn full-time as roster numbers grow.

Small, private D2 college.

Leave email address and I'll contact with more details.

Anybody know if they are going to fill the Hartford job or is that just a bump up?

Thats surprising. They were ranked 1st in the nation for most of the year and he had a lot of talent, including redshirt freshmen Steven Kapes who ran a 29:50 10K. Why would he leave that?

Let the Illinois rumors be silenced:

http://fightingillini.com/news/2017/6/14/mens-cross-country-track-field-head-coach-mike-turk-finalizes-coaching-staff.aspx?path=mcross

they have a petition of over 700 athletes, parents, alums etc. Can't say i've ever seen this happen but they were gaining serious success fast so. you can read the petition here and under the community section there's a crap ton of comments from people

https://www.change.org/p/president-trible-reinstate-coach-barreau-as-head-cross-country-coach-at-cnu?recruiter=69164789&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition

If this Barreau character is on contract, and his contract is not renewed, what is the issue?

Listen, I know the perfect guy for the Syracuse throws job. It's one of his dream schools. Jerry told me about it.

is the cuse job real? i have seen no posting.

The guy in charge got rid of him. For real or phony reasons, it doesn't matter. That guy isn't going to rehire him. Even if he did, the coaching relationship would be strained and incredibly awkward.

If Barreau feels like he was wrongly terminated, file a lawsuit. But he should tell these kids to stop the petition. It makes the University look bad, and it makes Barreau look desperate and surely hurts him in his new job search (who is going to hire a guy who is begging to return to his previous job?)

The program is surely going to be negatively affected by the petition as it's going to discourage qualified applicants from applying, and it's really going to anger the head coach because the kids are picking sides.

head coach shouldn't let lil wiener feelings get in the way of a programs success. That is all this boils down too. Head coach insecurity.
