Look the school I am at cared little about volleyball when I took the job. I got $25,000 to start which was a $10,000 cut from my other job but it was the right move for my family. I had 1.7 scholarships at D II level in very competitive conference. We won 9 matches the first year. The next year we won a whole lot more. I have been here 20 years, averaged over 20 wins a season and make well above D II average. You can build and you can convince people volleyball is important. You can prove yourself to your administration. You just got to want to put in the work and fine great athletes. By the way Glenville's libero is good. Saw her play last year so you have one player. My final thoughts on this is there are dead end jobs just dead end thinkers. Glenville needs a little engine that could. If that's not you so be it. I think one of the key things was that "it was the right move for (your) family." That's such an important factor and, obviously, varies from person to person. If it's great for the family, you'll do a lot more to make things work. If the family's unhappy, any job is difficult. I deal a lot with forecasters from the National Weather Service which has offices in a wide variety of places from metropolitan areas on the east coast to small towns in rural Montana. A friend at the latter loved the location and couldn't imagine going to a larger city. The big challenge came when her child had a serious physical condition and the nearest specialist was a 4+ hour drive away. It almost made her transfer just for the kid, but she stuck it out and, after a couple of years, he got better. We sometimes forget that there are a lot of things going on in job decisions beyond the obvious "what are the immediate opportunities and risk from a professional standpoint." It's a good thing when you find your right place, as you apparently have.

The real question is why hasn't the first page been updated since December...?

Congrats on your success! However, I did the same thing for 6 years; cellar-dweller to Top 25. Admin simply did not care. I think your situation is the exception not the rule. Sometimes the writing is on the wall, all you have to do is read it. And then you used the success of the team on your resume to find a better job?

Negative, I left cuz I was tired of fighting a losing battle.
