2019 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

No Thanks wrote:

College coaching sure does sound like a great job. You make a below average salary for working long hours away from your family. While dealing with entitled kids, overbearing parents, along with admins who don't care about your sport.

And to top it all off, you get your professional and personal life trashed and scrutinized on the internet by every angry guy who thinks they could do better.

Add that all those angry jerks ripping coaches are doing it from the cowardly safety of anonymity and can post thirty times under thirty different usernames.

Big story, is with Langford taking the helm with Oklahoma sprints (where he will dominate no doubt), who takes over at SC State? Do his 400m All Americans/National Champs follow him to Oklahoma?

Anyways, soooo is Oklahoma distance done for???

Yup, many of the distance guys were seen on other campuses the last few weeks. Late in the game for a transfer but it is clear that they are leaving OU which has no coach.

So Oklahoma and South Florida do not have a distance coach?

What about Western Kentucky?

Couldn't have said it better myself. If I were Kevin I'd be doing the same thing - watching this out of amusement while adding my rationally articulated two cents under my real name just to piss everyone off who's stuck in this too lololololololol.

The Sooners appear to be quitting on that event group.

I would agree with this assessment. Why deal the XC coach so late without a replacement unless you want to put resources into another area?

Jenkins will do cross. No point to go at it in Tampa. Keep it all speed power

USF men and women were DFL at XC conference last year, so Jenkins certainly can’t do worse as Xc coach.

Yes Jenkins will coach XC. He hired two other sprint coaches, and may hire a throws coach and abigi can handle jumps.

Heard he will try multi route not throws

It’s true, OU has cancelled men’s and women’s cross country and added men’s and women’s bowling. Keep tuned for the announcement coming Monday.

Their best talent is leaving and they will announce the under qualified female hire this week. Stay tuned.

It’s ok kid. Not one coach could care less what you young punks say. You know nothing and live in moms basement. If you don’t understand why we coach for a living, you never will. Get a life and move on junior.

Let her live man. We gotta uplift these up and coming coaches instead of bashing them as being under qualified. Let them prove if they’re worthy of the position or not.

Is that what the interview process is for...

Typically yes, so if they interviewed her and found her to be what they’re looking for then more power to her. Not for us to decide.
