would be nice to be serious. there are still young ladies there looking for someone to lead them. we shouldn't bash the institution since it isn't a top DII or DI program.

Thank you!

.

seriously, doesn't it seem to be taking a long time to hire a coach. It's almost summer...

order the get the position approved through the School Board. Remember, sports don't come first at a lot of schools. Could be religion, or something else.

This isn't a high school, therefore there is no school board. This is a state university so there shouldn't be any issues with religion (however, I don't see a Muslim fitting in very well in Americus, GA). The most likely reasons include the school's poor excuse for an athletic department and it's located in Americus, GA.

Rumor has it that no one has even applied for the job. This may be the toughest job in America to sell to a coach.

have the position approved (requirements and salary) before advertising it to the public. May not be a priority, as I said before.

its been posted since Tony left.

Here is the job posting. Been open since 2/24/12. The is no Board Approval and does not go through the state. School hires a new coach unless they discontinue the program. Problem in getting a quality coach is the funding.

that they post the start date as August 1? Or is that standard lingo? I would think they'd start ASAP...

its a 10 month contract.. June and July are not paying months. You may work but salary is over 10 months not 12. thats the reason for the August 1 start date. Whoever takes the job will start right away- players won't be on campus until August.

.

Yes they would do camps in June or July but at this point its to late- thats how they would supplement the 10 month contract.

Word is there were almost 90 applicants. Still a Peach Belt job...

Peach Belt job? Still a college job! Any job, even the smallest school, will have 60+ applicants for any full time coaching job

I think the poster was saying that it is a job in the Peach Belt and is a good conference. Top Peach Belt coaches make more than many DI coaches. Don't think this is the case with GSW however.

The number of quality candidates is seriously impressive as well.
