Thiel has a 2015 roster up with the coach TBA. The women's team has a 2014 roster up with the coach TBA.
Its tough coaching fall and spring every year, and he went 4-26 with the women, and 13-18 with the men this season. Sounds like a good time for both parties to make a change.

Knew of a friend who coached both seasons who also had similar records with both teams. Do these colleges not realize or care that these are overlapping jobs that have limited chances of success? Would really like to hear of any coaches who coach both programs and have a winning record with both programs. Just can't see when those coaches can have enough time (like only May & June) to recruit.

Would really like to hear of any coaches who coach both programs and have a winning record with both programs. Just can't see when those coaches can have enough time (like only May & June) to recruit. I agree, it's just not fair to either program. It forces the coach to pick and choose how they will invest their time when they go recruiting. Talk about getting burnt out, you come in some time in August for women's pre-season and play until sometime in November. Then you have your men's non-traditional season either in October or immediately after the conclusion of the women's season. Both boys and girls club season is about to start up, gotta recruit (forced to pick). It's January and men's pre-season is starting and lasts until April. During those 4 months, you have both boys and girls club tournaments, men's practices, matches and tournaments in addition to your other non-coaching duties at your institution. After the men's season concludes, you have your women's non-traditional season. It's finally May and all that is left is to recruit, time to pick and choose. June and July are filled with more recruiting trips, camps, clinics and boys and girls Nationals and prepping for your upcoming women's season. WOW! I'm exhausted! You really have no time off! You have slow months but really no time to just collect your thoughts and decompress. Oh wait, do you have a family, where do they fit in? I can think of a person who did both in addition to other duties (SWA & Compliance) and both the men's and women's team were successful, Alison when she was at Baruch. Not sure how she did it. She balanced or should I say juggled 2 collegiate teams, multiple administrative duties, being a wife and mother. That's a lot to handle for 1 person! I believe she is still doing both teams at Coker as well. Also, Jake Bluhm did both men and women at SUNY IT, the women went 29-5 and lost in the NEAC championships, the men's team went 19-5 and won the NEAC Championships. In 2012 and 2013, they were part of the UVC and struggled ( 3-28 overall & 0-11 UVC and (10-18 overall & 4-2 UVC). The women have been up and down, in 2011 they were 21-13 and in 2012 they were 12-22.

Don Perkins coached both programs at Kean for three years and both teams were pretty successful during his tenure if I remember correctly. Kean however saw the light and split the position and hired two full time head coaches last season.
Craig Kolek at rivier also coaches both programs. Both of which have a good amount of success.

You can add Cal Wickens from Naz and Paul Dill from MIT

You can add Cal Wickens from Naz and Paul Dill from MIT And Cal and Paul have done very well. Cal has won multiple women's conference titles, and I think his men's resume speaks for itself. I really think it depends on what support you have (Assistant coaches, funding, expectations, other duties, ect). If you have a situation where you're expected to win, have little or no assist coach funding, and have to fundraise to support your program that you're going to run into a constant turnover of coaches. Some programs for D-3 get a lot of support, others don't. Really depends

Steve wasn't the head coach for the women anymore, his wife was. I think they may have technically been each other's assistants though. According to the website neither of them is returning for next year. Did they get out of coaching, or find a better situation?

In my opinion this search is more of a formality. Pat is an excellent coach who has juniata in his blood. I think it would be stupid of juniata to let him go.

School has to. Pat was intem head coach so they must go through the process of posting, interviewing candidates and making their hire. I'd be shocked if Pat didn't get the job. He's legit

Let's just say this, on the men's an women's side of the game colleges or universities must have the willingness to properly support a program in order for it to succeed. When we talk about programs like Naz where Cal coaches both, look at the assistants and support he has to be able to coach both. Same thing goes for coaching just one sport, when a college forces huge roster sizes on a coach without support, the chance of success is limited.
