2019 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Don't see why Lynn would leave Charlotte for the Head Wingate Job? He makes almost that being a Assistant Coach at Charlotte. Div I to II, just for Head Coach Title, don't see it. It would have to be for more than 5ok.

If Lynn’s teams were half as good as he claims they’re going to be year in and out, he’d be at Oregon by now.

Good to hear. He can stay at UNCC. I would strongly consider going to Wingate. FYI I’m a Assistant D I coach with an athlete who earned All American Honors last year. Go figure.

Lynn has interviewed and been on campus at Wingate. Will see how fast the process moves from here

Joey Lynn is not being considered for Wingate. Expect the hire to come from outside of NC.

Current DI or DII Head or assistant? Any DIII candidates in the mix?

I’ve heard that Wingate reached out to Kaymarie Jones (WSSU) whom was previously a GA there. She checks alot of what they want and would allow them to keep Glover there for XC and distance.

I’ve heard she is very difficult to work with though. Also why would she leave WSSU after only a semester there.

Lynn did interview with Wingate. It has been confirmed

D1 Jobs please....

Doubt it, confirmed by whom?

UNC Asheville Head Coach....Probably just a formality though

"just a formality"?

Both men AND women were DEAD LAST in their conference.

Why keep the current coaching staff?

Regarding UNCA HC position. My thoughts and experience if their just posting internally and not nationally they already made their decision. The AD there couldn't give a Rats A.. if the XC teams finished DFL at Conference. Their paying 42-50 thousand a year. That position could be a career ending move. No budget, poorly funded, facilities are lacking though it is in the mountains of NC. That is a big plus.

This. This is unfortunately the situation at MOST colleges. There are of course a handful of AD's - mostly in the SEC along with a select few others - who care. But to the vast majority of AD's, we are low-rent baby sitters who's only job is to keep problems off their desk. That's it.

I have no idea what the situation is at UNCA...but I'd be shocked if anyone in charge of decision making there cares that both genders finished last in some arbitrary, money-losing event. Or just about any school for that matter.

Now, carry on.

Anybody know what’s going on at Emory?

Joe Lynn has been confirmed as offered at Wingate. Has to keep the current staff.

False

Not buying it!
