Don Larson is a legend. The strength of the teams that he has consistantly produced over the years at a mid-major school is amazing. It is very possible that this position could go to someone already on staff such as Keller (who is the women's head coach) or St. Clair (who is the associate head coach). But if it doesn't, that has to be an awfully good job to get. Even though it is in North Dakota.
Easily St Claire to take over at NDSU! Come on man! No one has ever done anything like he has in a small school like that!!! Legendary!
Agreed! who else is up for retiring? lot's of 65+ dudes out there:)
Who is leaving SIU-Carbondale??
Bland posting usually means title 9 hire or they have their person and no need to apply
Williams at Saint Aug. is in his 70s.

Ok let’s make a list of DIVISION 1 coaches OVER the age of 65 that NEED TO RETIRE NOW
I wonder if this has anything to do with the state of budgets in Illinois.

It doesn't. New AD and the program has been below mediocre for awhile.
Nice d3 in Cali looking for a new head cross country coach
All of these jobs suck... imagine there won’t be more than 10 coaching changes. Maybe only 1-2 major ones until December.
I'm worried XC will be cancelled in the Fall as well. What do you think?
I think there are other threads for that, and this one should stay on topic.
Maybe not going to be any jobs!
I can see some jobs opening up down the line from schools trying to put a cork in their budget while this is going on.
Head coaches will mostly be fine, but plenty of assistant coaches may have furloughs or potential layoffs if they aren't considered as essential in bringing in new student athletes. Most can pick up where they left off (depending on how long this lasts), but for a lot of young coaches or coaches who have families and bills to pay, a furlough can be the final straw to move into a different profession to make their career.
I can't imagine any schools out there that don't have a hiring freeze in place for a position like a track or cross country coach, but with so many living paycheck to paycheck, this can easily be a wake-up call to find greener pastures using their degree.
Near term hiring freezes will make jobs rare. Long term, there's probably quite a few schools that will see a soft reset of how their programs are structured.

Good job V ... they need to have a like button on here!
