Given the awful timing of AGM leaving- it is a grand slam! Cannot believe that Amy Rudolph is coaching at ISU- this is like Larry Bird coaching. I was pumped when her husband got the Drake job because that landed Drake the best volunteer women's coach anyone could ever imagine. Amy's professional background and understanding of hardcore running is more likely to mesh with Martin Smith's approach as much as anyone from the outside could. Her experience and knowledge is unsurpassed, she has experience teaching and coaching and her name recognition is elite.
Awesome news!
Awesome news!
Hired a replacement. Doesn't scream homerun or anything but Andrea leaving just before the season sort of left us in a really weak hiring position. Feels like a stopgap placeholder hire but I am no track coaching guru.
Thoughts?
