You can be tough, as long as you’re not toxic. Some coaches don't know the difference.

Not a surprise to anybody paying attention. They had a young team last season, only losing 2 to graduation. In his first year ever as a HC he managed to chase 7 student athletes away, the majority of them starters and a first year AC looking to make his mark in D1. He then proceeded to bring in a bunch of young talent, who likely quickly learned why 7 SA's and a first year AC departed ways, despite whatever rhetoric they were sold during the recruiting process. He then manages to take that young team and lead them to tie their worst conference record in 40 years. The good news is they have some SA's that will likely be thrilled with the decision and feel like the Athletic Department supports them. They have two wonderful AC's, one of whom has been there 6 or 7 seasons under a couple of different HC's, with roots in the area. I imagine there aren't too many remaining with this program who are upset with this news. Go Griz! Daryl, I notice Rachel isn't listed on the roster anymore. Chalk another one up to parents who interfere and disgruntled athletes who struggle to adjust to having responsibility and accountability. Montana got what they wanted in Brian and that was someone more aggressive and engaging with the community. Unfortunately it wasn't a fit. Brian will bounce back and on his feet and the athletes will develop some resiliency and grow. Go Griz! +1

Story I hear is that this is a real search and Ashlee might have a new job off-campus Part time? Not funded well? Looking at the history, it's rough. Location isn't bad so I am assuming it's not well supported? I believe it is full time. Maryville transitioned from D3 starting in 2009. not sure about support...

Maryville transitioned from D3 starting in 2009. not sure about support... Support is pretty rough on a few levels and the GLVC is a solid conference. They also sent a lot of people for a loop last year by glossing over candidates to continue being a lackluster program for another year.

The AD thought he was going to get more and better applicants last year. Ashlee stepped up for her alma mater and took plenty of abuse for her efforts. She decided to put her masters in business to work, working for the university, which now gives Maryville a full application period.

But that's on the AD, not Ashlee.

But that's on the AD, not Ashlee. They also had good applicants last year--just the wrong gender. I can think of at least one male applicant who had 'national champion' on the resume. To each, their own. Maryville isn't the only school in that conference which makes 'interesting' hiring decisions.
