. This is laughable. Sorry There are plenty of women coaches who are both good at their jobs and have way more experience than a HS coach who has 2.5 yrs of college experience. Here’s the trick….look past the D1 ranks. There are some excellent coaches at the D2 and D3 level that would be great in this position.TNLAX wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2023 4:31 pmJust don’t think there are “dozens of other female coaches out there way more qualified and deserving of this job”LaxPundit07 wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2023 2:23 pm I appreciate all the outside the box thinking here.
But are we really suggesting The Ohio State University AD hire a 30 something man with no head coaching experience, who is currently coaching at the high school level, to be the next head coach of his Big Ten women’s lacrosse program? What kind of message, among others, does that send to all the female assistants/female mid major head coaches about their ability to climb the ladder? I thought athletics was the great meritocracy?
I am sure Deemer is great (actually I am not sure, just saying that to be diplomatic) but there are dozens of other female coaches out there way more qualifier and deserving of this job.
Remember the OSU AD let go of Amy for not meeting expectations. Sounds to me like he is taking it seriously there.
If I were him, I would drive to West Point NY or High Point NC and not leave until the head coach there signs on the dotted line. But what do I know?
There just are not that many really good college coaches out there IMHO.
I know it wasn’t you who said it but excellence on the field does not correlate to excellence guiding the field. I see nothing but marginal qualifications for this person to take the reins of a big 10 lacrosse program.
