2019 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Yeah well little do you know is that his wife is a doctor. So all of your points are irrelevant. You didn't get the job, nor did the rest of us so why exactly do you care what it pays?

The UC Irvine cross country team was told yesterday that Casey Kear will be the new distance coach at the school. Kear was the second assistant coach over at Long Beach State. The track and field and cross country program at UC Irvine has really deteriorated since Vince O'Boyle retired a few years ago, and Jeff Perkins took over. I will take a wait and see attitude with this new hire at my alma mater.

The truth is that when Vince O’Boyle retired, Jeff Perkins and Chris Evans were given their positions without a completely open interview process.

As a high school coach in the Orange County area, I do not recommend UCI to my athletes. Their record if developing athletes is not very good.

They develop individuals sometimes. They had a 10k girl and a 1500m guy with good development. If a kid wants to stay in SoCal and can’t go to UCLA, their best option is now Fullerton. They have come a long way and develop people good. I ran on the program not that long ago and I am glad Kear applied and not Tebbe. They need to keep the ball rolling over there.

WTF!

If your significant other makes bank, then yes it’s affordable... as a track coach alone though, not affordable. A quick google search will lay it all out for you, if you’re having a hard time understanding.

You've just been dying to post that haven't you?

Yes... yes I have ?

According to this forum, years of experience is the only determination of quality when it comes to coaching. So good coaches are only old guys, preferably with an alcohol problem or a history of inappropriate relationships with athletes, but that is not required. Training philosophy, work ethic, recruiting and fundraising ability do not matter and neither do results. The only thing that matters is how long you have been coaching.

Oh and that you're not a woman, or a minority.

Another under-qualified female.

How long before all these P-5 schools with under qualified coaches start to tank?

They ain’t p5 but the ones that are wont. Because they will always attract better talent.

Going through this thread every year reminds me how glad I am that I chose not to coach in the NCAA. Basically an entire industry that plays musical chairs every few years.

I mean she sort of worked at a camp. What other experience do you need?

It is good to see so many women getting into the profession. I think that this is going to improve the level of coaching overall. Now there is far more competition for the jobs. Coaches in the profession have to work even harder to produce and continue to move up or to break into the industry.

You can always make the argument that there are more qualified people than each of the hires. If all schools did was hire the person with the longest resume, where would we be? The importance of making a great hire is to find someone that is going to be the best fit for the job not just the most qualified. Not all qualifications can be, or need to be, quantified.

Bottom line is that coaching cross country and track used to be a Boys Only Club. No Girls Allowed. Now, it is opened up. If that means everyone has to step up their game, recruit harder, work harder, be open to new ideas and training, be more compassionate, be more visible, well....then that is what it means.

From a comfortable chair on the beach....

Maybe you're not getting coaching jobs, that include coaching women, because you refer to women as "bimbo['s]" per your username. Maybe AD's would rather have a bimbo than a chauvinist.

when these coaches move on is there some sort of exit interview or handover

do they pass on recruiting information/contacts for the existing - often interim coaches to utilize

Have been on 6 unofficial visits this summer - all with some not insignificant degree of travel and expense and in 3 of the 6 (thus far) there has since been coaching upheaval

all of the coaches have moved on for better opportunities so I'm happy for them - but feel like I'm starting over

Whats the issue? She was a great runner AT UCONN, she volunteered at a P5 and assisted at a mid major. Now she gets to head up another mid major. Whats wrong with this? Am I missing something?

YES. Thank you for saying this.

Sincerely,

Female coach who will no doubt be torn apart on this dumpster fire message board

Good to know his training focuses on strength and conditioning and detailed training regimens. I was worried for a second that Rutgers would hire someone under qualified.
