2019 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

The administration had nothing to do with the budget cuts. Our numbskull governor went to war with public education. He cut teacher pensions and greatly reduced higher education funding. Kentucky and Louisville have the funds to not worry about it. The rest of the state schools cut funding and/or sports. WKU had a 50% cut to xc and tracks operating budget. They cut tennis at EKU and Morehead state. Not sure how it affected Murray state. WKU had a strong xc history but forces higher than the administration led to this. We had teacher strikes and all sorts of drama. In the end the Olympic sports suffered the most.

Keep defending the admin. I don’t remember hearing of any other sports at this school taking a 50% cut. Seems to me that other sports could have taken a hit to lessen the blow to Jenkins budget. Just looks like the AD wanted to get rid of him and this was how he was gonna do it.

The governor didn’t call this school and say you have to cut the track budget.........

April Smith from Fresno: Lets see, she has a big mouth and tells everyone that she knows everything about track and field. If she is so good why wouldn't Fresno State even consider her? Hmmmm. In a coaches meeting she starts telling everyone about the 10,000 meter race. Only had some of the best distance coaches in the country in the room and she basically craps on them. She is obnoxious and would have a difficult time at Stanford with the type of students-athletes that they get. But the positive news is that the folks in the MWC don't have to put up with her arrogance any longer.

STFU you foolish idiot. Where in the hell do you get off saying that the guy feels sorry for himself? He’s owned it and moved on unlike you. He has made something of his life despite making some pretty big mistakes. The problem is no longer his. Should he sit in the corner the rest of his life and whine? Nope. Grow up and move on. You are really looking like the one that has greater issues than KEVIN.

I’m pretty sure they dropped April’s name for Stanford as a joke.

She was brought up a month ago for the head job at Fresno and they were joking then.

And, If she is indeed hired at Stanford, then I will hang on every word she says at convention as she clearly gained immense knowledge because the color of her hat and shirt changed.

I actually don’t have a dog in this fight but you’re right shouldn’t be talking bout the guy it’s none of my business. What I said was true but that’s irrelevant. I don’t know the slightest thing about coaching throws!

What are the remaining coaching vacancies as the start of Fall semester approaches?

Bump:

Monmouth: Head/Director

Any others?

You say he is not welcome on these message boards? That’s hilarious. I would rather KEVIN be on the boards than you. We know who he is but not you and you are the one attacking him. Please leave and make this about jobs and not your personal aggressive agenda. You should not be allowed on here. You know how to reach him. Send him an email and let him know how much you hate him. We would all appreciate you go away forever.

Can you guys take this crap somewhere else? You are getting old with this bullshit.

I would imagine that on-campus interviews at Stanford have to be happening at this point. Somebody on campus has had to have seen someone. JJ is probably also frantically trying to find a place to live that he can afford.

Just because she didn’t get the Fresno job doesn’t mean she is not qualified. April is obviously successful. Maybe she’s not the right personality for Stanford. That doesn’t mean she’s not qualified.

You lost validity with that last sentence. If you knew anything about Stanford you would know that Stanford provides housing for all head coaches/directors.

That makes no sense. I’m not even saying anything that requires validation. I’m just saying that someone has to know something. Not everyone would know the ins and outs of working at Stanford. Doesn’t diminish the line of thought.

Kevin Hadsell, the most ethical poster on this site. We should all worship his moral superiority.

Remind us again why you resigned from coaching?

Awwww. You’re cute.

Kevin, I may have been unfair to you. I apologize for attacking you on here. While I definitely don't approve of what you did, I appreciate your efforts to be upfront and move on from it. Your posts are very helpful and insightful and I do appreciate your perspective.

Anyways, soooo is Oklahoma distance done for???
