Anybody that knows the track coach knows you will have issues. Mark Phillip's has half-assed his way through life piggybacking off of his coaching staff. Then takes all the credit for other peoples accomplishments. Best of luck to the guy that replaces Dan, you will need it.
I don't understand this sentiment. He is the Head Coach. Does he pretend to direct the distance athletes? It is apparent that Adler was doing that, but obviously Phillips will get credit for leading an overall successful program.
Someone said earlier that the two were having some disagreements. Ultimately the head coach is going to win out. Cowley seems to be a well funded JUCO program with good distance athletes; they have had a few DI distance transfers in the past few years (not that common for JUCO distance). Any insight on who replaces Adler?
I still maintain they need to wait until summer, unless they want an entry level coach to take over XC.
