2019 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Nick Newman to Kent State

The Job is Joe Franklins.

Joe is one of the best coaches in the country, but even at Butler relied on foreign athletes. He would have to change his tune a bit to fit at Stanford. Not that it wouldn't be hard, recruiting to Stanford is much easier than Indy or ABQ. But being at a power 5 he would also give up a lot of the freedom he has had in his career, and job security would be low at a place like Stanford. He's also not had to deal with the academic stresses of a high level university. He does knows how to put on a great meet, look what he's done with Bryan Clay. I think he would continue on what Miltenberg built at Stanford, nothing crazy, safe hire.

Good thing for joe, Stanford can still go after some UK/Aussie types that he loves anyways. Stanford is better off just going after US talent simply because it can. Hiring a foreign based coach to a school like Stanford feels like a bad marriage.

100% false

Petros of UGA tweeted this :

Young coaches out there: YOU HAVE TO PAY YOUR DUES! It takes time. Working (or think you worked )hard for couple of years it’s not enough..It’s not about joy but the privilege to get under pressure. Work hard and be patient. Life is hard. Hard is normal.

Thoughts?

And grinnell did? Lots of young coaches pay their dues. When is enough enough? 2 years? 5 years? 10years? Paying dues is the biggest bullshite thing old coaches say. Dues and success does not matter and the hiring process proves this time and time again. Pete is can suck a fat one.

And then when you get frustrated you still haven’t made it. You back stab your boss and take his job.

Who is Pete? You are a fool to not listen to older coaches. Paying your dues is very real.

iPhone autocorrect. “Petros can suck a fat one” No you don’t need to listen to older coaches for anything more than a reference that will say you have paid your dues. That is the only reason. If it was true you wouldn’t see BS hires. So stop spreading the same crapola of nose down work hard and you will go far. Certainly is not true.

Yeah I can actually roll with this. Grinnell voounteered with Petros in 2012 or so.. produced nothing at WSU, and now has a job at one of the best programs in the country. It’s not about what you do, it’s about who you know. So let’s all keep networking.

Mention the words “hard work” to a millennial, and then just sit back and watch their reaction in defense of their soft work, entitled philosophy.

No wonder they are the softest generation in the history of this country. Pay your dues!

Too busy paying off student loans.

Define dues? And explain why bad coaches who haven’t get hired? Like I said many good coaches out there pay their dues for years with success but get nothing to show for it as far as big jobs go. Dues does not equal big job. So stop perpetuating the myth of it.
