Biggest problem I have heard from people who have been on campus is the amount they are offering to pay is terrible in relation to the cost of living in that area. They want to get a great coach for pittance. ...and that is different than 95% percent of other volleyball positions because....? The pay isn't the only, or, for most of the coaches that have been on campus, the biggest issue for Stevens. Whether they go interim or not, the next coach will have their hands full.

Three former D-I coaches in the Little East Conference, including Ferguson. Is it a trend now? Maybe a topic to discuss. It seems like DIII schools offering now more money with less challenges, specifically here at NE. Some schools are offering better pay now, but Division III presents its own series of challenges. Different than DI in a lot of respects, but not necessarily less challenging.

Agreed (not to mention you often have other responsibilities too), I have known some that have done it for stability and the ability to have more consistent family time.

There are pros and cons to working in DIII as a pose to working in DI. It takes a little time to get used but what you seem to notice the most is the shorter seasons.

I have coached at all three levels. I do not view any one level as being better or worse than any other. They are, simply, different. Each with their own advantages/disadvantages.

Talked to Kepner this weekend. Now that he is back from Final Four, he will be hiring assistant coach (College of Charleston)- apparently doesn't have to post on AVCA or NCAA. If interested, contact him at kepnerj@cofc.edu

I just find it funny that for so many coaches, the holy grail of jobs is a DI job. But once they get there, they often find that other levels are just as good or better for what they offer the coaches.

maybe they can't find the right FIT? If they would quit panther-ing around... they might be alright - okay, I'll stop Are you kidding... that's the most love they've gotten in months... Proceed!! The right FIT was already there! www.floridatechsports.com/volleyball/news/130/3896/Congrats to Amy! She's weathered the storm. Best of luck to her.

It isn't the job so much as it is walking around with the well know logo. People don't understand that with higher profile jobs come higher expectations and lower tolerance for not doing well. You don't get as many chances as you do at the lower levels, winning is expected to happen quick.

And the days of being under the radar, graduating all your kids, and winning every few years are gone. There are coaches who have been at their institutions for a long time who are being asked uncomfortable questions, like: how much longer will it take and what is it going to take to win conference championships or to move further up the food chain. With the intimation that their jobs are on the line.
