Rick Nold? Seven years now without an NCAA tournament appearance (assuming they don't get in tonight). By all accounts, seems like a quality person but coaches getting by because the players are having a good experience is not the typical SEC mindset. I'm not passing judgement on Rick, but the Auburn athletic department is in chaos right now. AD has already announced his (somewhat forced) resignation. The basketball program is caught up in the FBI sting and they're offering refunds on season tickets. On top of all that, there's a pretty good chance the football coach jumps ship this offseason without an AD in place to make the new hire. They have a lot bigger problems than an above .500 volleyball program which is consistently OK in the SEC.

Has Geoff Carlston's name not been mentioned? Yes. And it should be. Now officially a losing 2017 record, never made it past the Sweet 16 at a major university, one girl arrested this year, another packed up overnight and flown home by her parents... who should take his place? Big job.

Geoff is not on the hot seat. Had a myriad of injuries this year and they were still relevant until the last day of the season. Never made it past the sweet 16? how many have? They've been within points several times, I think he's done a pretty good job there and will stay

Big job. Not to mention the debacle with Parker's recruiting and losing Mutiri and the constant turnover of staff. The only thing that has been saving him are the Sweet Sixteen appearances.

Big job. knew about Bailey, but one got arrested!?!? How did this get missed on volleytalk? The Parker recruiting situation....I am happy she decommitted and I think it’s best for her future. I don’t think OSU really develops players and they are not as good as they should be. I’d definitely like for this seat to be hot!

I thought Mutiri decommitted from tOSU to play somewhere closer to home for family reasons. Not sure you can lay that one on Geoff.

They've been within points several times, I think he's done a pretty good job there and will stay Unfortunately, I think that administrators very rarely take injuries into account when considering a team's success or failure. From conversations that I have had, they tend to believe that if a coach is recruiting well then injuries can/should be absorbed. I don't know if that will be enough for Geoff to be free from scrutiny.

He berated her in the locker room after a match calling her fat. His regular verbal abuse is known amongst club coaches across Ohio. Girls from Ohio don't go to Ohio State. Just look at his assistant turnover which is unlike anywhere else in the country. And the Sweet 16 should not be the high mark for a Big Ten school that regularly out-performs its colleagues in most other sports.

One or two injuries with only half a team on scholarship is definitely going to hurt.
