If true, this is one of the stranger things I've heard lately. The athletes chose their own coach and somehow figured the Pepperdine assistant was the golden ticket? Bizarre, but interesting at the same time.
The athletes did not get to choose her as the new coach, even after asking to be a part of the process. I dont know why the administration wouldnt get rid of Sheffield.
And Drew Petersen used to run at UCD, so I guess it's all come full circle???
Honestly though, I sincerely hope Emma will be able to turn the program around. My only concern is that she'll run into problems with the administration, which, by keeping Coach Rahn around, has consistently proven over the last ~3 years that they don't care about the track program in the slightest. Until he's out (or until the entire admin department gets launched into the sun), I see a difficult road ahead for any UCD coach.

Suddenly this hire makes a lot more sense.

Just wait. This story will get even better as details emerge.

Well, spill the beans, lets hear it
You all really think Sheffield would let the athletes choose the coach after cutting more than half the team? Nah. Next.
+1
So true about the ex-star athlete getting the coaching job. Seen it so many times. They just don't get it if someone can't do what they did.

Ya mean there hasn't been a nationwide search?

Administration didn’t allow Sheff in the process. Athletes were very envolved
I don't really know where you are getting your info but the athletes had no say outside of a couple of them meeting the potential candidates. Then the team was informed that Emma had been hired. Please stop spreading fake news

You have your facts and I have mine. Yours sounds like the fake news to me.
Cmon be realistic, have you ever heard of a division 1 program choosing their own coach with no say from the head coach? Or any division 1 admin (especially this apparently trash/untransparent one) letting the athletes choose? Good one.

That’s exactly why I posted it. If it were common then no reason to talk about it.
Why would the athletes meet the candidates unless they were involved in the process of hiring?
Any word on whether UCD will be competing in the NAIA next year?

For the same reason they go through the entire interview process when they know they are just going to promote from within. They have to at least give the perception that they care what they think. They never do.
Concept: Sheffield brings on a coach who pushed drugs, admin is breathing down Sheffield’s neck after that coach is fired and he barely still has his job. Sheffield “involves” athletes in coach choosing process to show the admin he’s a Good Guy, but doesn’t actually give a singular crap what the athlete says. Keeps his dictatorship but gets the admin off his ass. Sounds like something him and many other D1 coaches would do at least to the outside eye

Sheffield wasn't involved in the process. Admin wouldn't let him be.
