What happened to Mike Wilson? The program seems to be doing well, and his wife is/was also on staff. Do we see him pop up someplace else, or was he forced out?

something happened.

So they fired the head coach and promoted the assistant up to head? Sounds fishy, Kennedy probably stabbed the head coach in the back.

Beth Alford Sullivan is taking over at Stanford.

That would be the DEATH of the program!

Miami distance job is down to two people. Cody Halsey and Patrick Henner. We should hear by the end of this week.

Just absolute lies. Why has this forum become such bullshit?

Little do you know...

Two very different candidates if this is the case.

Looks like Toledo is hiring a women, Only phone interviewed women. Andrea????

Who has interviewed?

throws position

That school is better off loading up in less event areas. Don’t know if throws is a good way to go. But I guess to each their own. Any word on other throws gig? GVSU, Rutgers, and apparently new one coming Milwaukee.

Kennedy is only Head XC. Head Track is still to be hired. Phone interviews last week. In person interviews start next week.

Brunner at MKE did well considering what they gave him, but got screwed by new coach. 2 full time positions: head coach and assistant along with 2 part time coaches (distance/throw). HC is jumps/multi guy. Hires full time sprint/hurdle guy to replace Kramer who left. Basler wanted Kramer to stay long term, but he passed and said Basler should hire a distance or throws person for the good of the program. Set up Basler to do right thing and hire Reilly after XC won women’s title. Basler hires sprint/hurdle guy. Reilly screwed over but stays part-time. Brunner asked for more money after throws (& distance) scored majority of points at conference and had only regional qualifier, Basler passed. Anyone looking to MKE should expect little distance or throws money for coaching.

Wilson was head of both XC and track. He hired Kennedy. Something sketchy happened.

Thanks for the breakdown joe

Pretty big hire for a new program.

Joe has already been there, don't think he is going back!

Miami FL, not Miami OH. Throws coach at the U and him are close, worked together with many years of success at GVSU.

Miami has their person, the OK St assistant.

University of Northern Colorado looking to hire two assistants.

Stanford likely to have official announcement late today or Monday! Finally!!

This is a newly created position at UNCA. I believe they are looking for a throws coach.
