Heard there is a change coming at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA which will trigger another opening at another Pittsburgh-area school.

With many schools being on budget and hiring freezes due to COVID closures and revenue lost; it will be very interesting to see how job searches play out this cycle.

For the sake of coaches and their families, I hope (think?) that most schools will be very slow to relieve a coach of their duties in the current economic climate (assuming that schools aren't cutting programs / sports / jobs).

The COVID stuff is certainly going to slow down a lot of hiring searches. One example is Catholic; where the job became vacant March 6th (according to their website) yet was only posted on the NCAA website 5 days ago (4/16).

One of the things that everyone will need to keep an eye on is State School vs Private.

Amherst could already be interviewing and make a hire in a few weeks. Where if a state school opens up it could be delayed even further. Look at the SUNYs for example if one of those jobs opens for one reason or another that could be an opening that could linger long into the summer

Don’t be shocked of this opening closes another one.... I have no knowledge of anything, but Marty is a good coach and I can’t imagine him leaving the game.

June 30 end date is a bit odd though. Hard to think another school would want to wait that long to get him on board.

I agree that marty may have landed another job. I do think that it makes sense that the new place will have him start on July 1 (new fiscal year). I just wonder why sewanee would give him that much time to step down. that is 6 weeks of pay/delay.

I thought Brevard was working to get the program some proper support years back, they can't seem to hold onto a HC for long, hope this one turns it around from them.

What's the deal with Sewanee ? They where the team to beat awhile back. Has the Admin. or support changed ? The SAA has been dropping off with the exception of Rhodes.

Word is that catholic has their coach. Read on D1 forum that Colgate assistant Sax is the new HC at Catholic.

That's a REALLY good hire.

Sax is a well known and connected coach with a great resume. Catholic got a good one here.
