Nadia Edwards is hopelessly clueless. DePaul has been 2nd to last every year for 7 years. She needs to go.

No doubt they've struggled in the past but they're having a great season. The back half of their conference schedule is certainly tougher, but they've positioned themselves well for a top 4 finish and Big East tournament appearance.

I don't keep up with Big East vb, but this is a pretty weak basis to make a statement that she has miraculously turned the corner. Is strength of the conference teams higher or lower than years past? Is the improved record her doing or a product of her scheduling or the current position of her conference foes? Regardless of the previous 2 months, we have witnessed roughly 70 months of low success, revolving door of assistants that rivals, transfers(but that is everywhere) and more resources invested in DePaul vb than has been in years past. To say this equates to a cooled off seat is like the mentality of the recreational golfer. You can shoot 120 for 18 holes, but those one or two shots that were perfect justify why you are a good golfer.

The Big East average Pablo is up over 200 points from last year (average ranking up 22 spots). DePaul is Pablo top 100 and has 3 top-100 wins. Their non-conference schedule was considerably more difficult this year than in past seasons (where they obviously just tried to pick up as many wins as possible). Their strength of schedule is ranked 31st according to FigStats's RPI page and they have a winning record against that. If her contract is up after this season, I suppose that could be a tough decision by the administration but there is absolutely no reason to get rid of her after this season when you kept her after the 2015 season.

I would say it's not an easy decision. But then again, I make the great misassumption: the administration cares about volleyball like I do. I would say no, she doesn't get canned. If they cared, she never would have been hired from the beginning or been given this much time with what has transpired. So IMO she is 100% safe now. In reality.... If I told you that this singular year was an anomaly and you are potentially getting another 6 years of underachieving before getting a good season, do you extend? I would extend contract by 2 years max.

If I told you that this singular year was an anomaly and you are potentially getting another 6 years of underachieving before getting a good season, do you extend? I would extend contract by 2 years max. I really know very little about this program specifically (other than what I can find on their website and RichKern), but I think you're underestimating the time it takes to turn around a program as miserable as DePaul was. The year prior to Edwards taking over, the team was 0-14 in the Big East and had a Pablo of 274. Since then: 2010: 4-26 (1-13) (253) 2011: 7-22 (3-11) (225) 2012: 10-18 (5-10) (201) 2013: 16-14 (2-14) (165) 2014: 3-27 (1-17) (267) 2015: 16-15 (4-14) (172) 2016: 11-10 (5-4) (94) She undoubtedly had a hiccup in 2014, but aside from that, it looks like a program that is slowly but surely getting better. Yes, this year is probably an outlier on the good side for DePaul (they graduate their very good setter), but they're currently the best team in Chicago. Is she a good enough coach to continually keep them in the top 4 of the Big East and competing for NCAA tournament berths? Maybe you're right and she can't do that. But she's made a miserable program respectable. I don't think anybody should lose their job for that.

Has anyone else noticed that Southern Illinois only has 2 coaches on the bench? Do they have a full staff? Is their assistant out recruiting during matches? Just curious.

During the TCU/Texas game tonight Amy Neal mentioned that they just got a new beach coach at TCU. Has the hire been announced yet?
