Is it just me or has this been a big summer for coaches leaving programs unexpectedly. With all the rumors, it will be pretty interesting who ends up where. Anyone else think the new NCAA job listing format is one of the stupidest changes ever? AGREED!!!! The old format of searching jobs was much more user friendly. yes yellowjacket, that is where he is headed.. rumor is he was seen at boys JO's wearing juniata gear, trying to keep up with recruiting just in case... This was a pure guess. I though if anything he woud have gone to UCSC but again, the D3 championship situation is forcing the hands of many coachies to either push for women's jobs as assistants or look for the lucrative, but rare D3 full-time gig. Looks like the next few years will be one of major flux for men's coaches. |

I agree that the NCAA job board isn't very user friendly.
I was looking through it, and I noticed that UCSC was one of the few positions that had a salary posted, of $8,000. That seems surprisingly low for a head coaching job... That might have been a factor in Price choosing Grand Canyon instead?

The majority of the Division III Men's coaching jobs have salaries less than 10K. Most of the teams in the northeast have part time head coaches. My hope is that this pushes schools to create more full-time coaching opportunities. I even hear of more rumors of coaches deciding to leave because of part-time status.
I think one of the other reasons that the Juniata coach left is that as conferences align for a potential AQ into the DIII tournament, schools like Juniata and Springfield would not be invited into conferences (NYU will be a part of the UVC or UVA with other NECVA teams). The rule is that more than 50% of your games must be played against DIII opponents to be considered for the tournament. Any DIII school that's in their right minds would not schedule Springfield or Juniata because of fear of what they can do in the tournament. Juniata wasn't going to be in the best position to make it to the tournament. The program will not be allowed to move up a division, so as a recruit, you're potentially going to a school that has a chance to play Penn State and other DI's but what other incentives are there? Price went where he's going to be resourced to bring in players to create a strong program. Good luck to him.

Anybody know who is in the running for Juniata? I am shocked that Price left.

Mb4life, I don't know if the tournament situation is as bad as you make it out to be. They will be the Notre Dame of DIII men's volleyball. I'm not sure it'd be possible for all of D3 to blackball them, even if coaches wanted to. a patriot, a leopard, and a bible thumper walked into a huntington bar one night... No Scarlet Raider? Nobody from the Nittany Lions family? |

People that have never been to Huntingdon should really not comment. I've been there and not many coaches who are looking for a job are flocking to work there especially when the nearest Div III school is about 180 mins away

Nobody from the Nittany Lions family? I know a ton of coaches at the DIII level, and this is the buzz that is being generated by them. Granted, any team looking for an opportunity to get into the DIII tourney will only have to play half their games against DIII opponents. Springfield and Juniata because of their EIVA status naturally play lots of DI and DII opponents. In past years (and you can easily look at their schedules to validate this point), Juniata has only played three DIII opponents (NYU, Springfield, and Stevens). It was four the year prior adding UCSC up until they made it to the Molten's. The problem is: 1. Juniata rather play a schedule that got them to the NCAA Collegiate Championship. You can't really blame them for that being in the EIVA. 2. Juniata wasn't willing to travel to any other DIII opponents. 3. Not many DIII schools are willing to travel to them. They now need to have half their games against DIII opponents to qualify for the DIII tourney. The other buzz is that the NCAA plans to drop the # of play dates to 22. There are going to be some new volleyball teams popping up in the PA area, so this will help them fill out their schedule, but they also need to have quality wins against better opponents. Who will travel to PA to play them? I know the coaches I am friends with will not travel to PA. This program is now destined for lots of problems. There are new conferences forming as we speak, and the schools on the outside looking in are UCSC, Springfield, and Juniata for the moment. Two of the three schools have coaching vacancies. One of the vacancies pays 8000. The other school has a long tradition of volleyball, but is in the middle of nowhere (I've been there). The Scarlet Raider's team is moving DIII and will be in a conference once their scholarship players graduate. Would you move from the Nittany Lions staff when they are pretty much guaranteed a shot of making it to the NCAA tourney? It's going to be a difficult situation for any coach to step into the Juniata coaching position, recruit talent, and convince teams to schedule them. Just my opinion of course. |

The Lees-McRae position is filled. Good luck. Goodridge did a good job with womens team at MOC under difficult situation where coach had to resign just before season started. Guys on mens team were not thrilled with him. But in fairness hard to get the permanent job when coach that was brought in had like 600 career victories. Not much comparison. lmcbobcats.com/article.asp?articleID=2737 |
