She has already interviewed. Curious about some of the negative comments on here about her - why is that? Not looking to defend, just genuinely curious. I know a couple of her former athletes and they seemed to really like her, so just wondering what the negatives seem to be? From what I know of M.Smith, I wouldn’t blame anybody for not wanting to stick around for long.
The skepticism regarding Andrea is more because she told most people who would listen that she will be the next Director throughout the year. Rubs many the wrong way, but probably somewhat unfairly because they’re jealous of a woman getting such a great position. She did a great job at UConn and Iowa state was fine. The question is whether she can direct a whole program? Perhaps they’re putting all resources into distance and plan to stink at conference track meets going forward?
