He's so smooth and strong, and really holds his form at the end of his 200s and 400s.

I feel like he came to Tech as more of a 400/500 guy, but he's become a great 200 runner as well. If he's hitting 20.57 indoors, I think he's a strong bet to break the outdoor school record of 20.41 (Kahleje Tillmon).

Duffy should have at least been an honorable mention for coach of the year for her work keeping and building a team from scratch.

or after Miami when he also didnt pay attention to the numbers on the field AND decided to call a squib kick inexplicably which Miami returned to mid-field and gifted them three points

Stu should have been fired after Vandy when he didn't pay attention to the fucking numbers on the field. But he is still here, underperforming.

At the end of the day these guys aren't going to make or break our team (unlike Crook).

Pry is on his last leg, he should have the freedom to pick who's on the sinking ship if he gets fired.

Man, that stride in the last 60 was effortless. Outdoor season should be a solid one.

Just wanted to also throw in the video from Judson Lincoln's 200m title win in a school record 20.57 from Monday. He took down the old record of 20.62, which was held by Jacory Patterson and Cole Beck.

I liked these coaches to how the academic side works, there are deans (HC), Department head (coordinators), Professors(position coaches), and instructors (assistant position coaches).

These guys are there to teach the basics so we're not looking for guys that bring in the grants and have interesting research, we're looking for guys to teach the concepts. We're never going to get some one known.

As college staffs build up you will see more guys like these that do have p4 exp, however like you said these positions didn't exist as named a couple years ago. Being an assistant OLine coach at VT isn't as valuable as being one at ND, but I would expect even then the assistant position coaches will still be young and less expirenced.

These are assistants. 3 years ago these guys would have titles like GAs or Analysts or Quality Assurance. I don't know what you were expecting/how you can be that underwhelmed here.

Edit: looks like that's not correct; it's not that these guys would have been analysts years ago; we just wouldn't have had single-position coaches on the staff.

Regardless, I still don't know how to be that disappointed about this... I can't imagine a world where an assistant OL coach who coaches just the interior line and reports(?) to Matt Moore is expected to have P4 coaching experience.

You know, I honestly am not sure. My guess would be no. At least when they are on the trail. Maybe they can get that information from people when they are at a checkpoint. I know they could get when people pulled in and pulled out of a checkpoint if someone was ahead of them, but do not know if they have access to the actual GPS data.

I'm sorry - this is anything BUT a nepotism hire:

2005 Mississippi State (CB/RC)
2006 Mississippi State (RB/RC)
2007 South Carolina (OLB/co-ST)
2008 South Carolina (CB)
2009–2010 South Carolina (S/ST/RC

If you are looking for proven P4 coaches, this is a huge swing and miss of course. I look at it as we are adding numbers/resources- so that's a good thing.
