What do all these jobs have in common (except the 2 SUNYs)?
Small, private, tuition-driven (dependent), institutions with poor endowments. Most private colleges today are economically fragile and unstable. As a result these simply are not good or desirable jobs. Add to that the fact that often you're required to do 2 jobs on campus for them to justify making the position full-time at what's usually a below average starting salary and there's a reason people don't stay in these positions long.

Re: Coaching Carousel 2024
The Rhodes job is about to be posted. Good spot for a coach to land and build a program.
Re: Coaching Carousel 2024
Rhodes is a good school. Sport seems to be growing in TN too. Would be nice for them to build.CoffeeCoach wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2024 12:58 pm The Rhodes job is about to be posted. Good spot for a coach to land and build a program.

Re: Coaching Carousel 2024
Is Rhodes supporting the lacrosse program the same as the top teams in the conference? How stable is the SAA with BSC closing, and a few other schools with extremely low rosters. Maybe, that's why the HC left? Seems a little unstable..... What coaches would be considering the move?

The HC didn’t “leave”… he was firedOld&InTheWay wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2024 4:16 pm Is Rhodes supporting the lacrosse program the same as the top teams in the conference?

Re: Coaching Carousel 2024
Does it really matter if he was fired, forced to resign or his contract wasn't renewed ? Interested to hear what people have to say.... the other concerns should be is Rhodes in a health place athletically, and financially?
Re: Coaching Carousel 2024
Haven't heard anything, but I'm really curious to see where Tommy Deluca (Cabrini) lands. IDK if he's chasing a HC role in D3 or something else outside our division. FDU, to me, is the best opening available right now. It would take time, but they have the ingredients to be a very competitive program.

Re: Coaching Carousel 2024
While your point is valid, I would take these "grades" with a grain of salt. For example, Northland College needed hail mary donations to remain afloat for this year and moving forward. They also recently laid off 9 faculty members. So are they really sitting at C grade or something else entirely...VTLaxGuy wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 12:41 pm As folks on here ask about a school's financial health, I wanted to point you to the Forbes Higher Ed Financial Grades from 2023:

based on what? as what we’ve discussed prior, FDU has been in shambles the last decades or so.MVPiccoli wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 11:40 am Haven't heard anything, but I'm really curious to see where Tommy Deluca (Cabrini) lands.

Stop that right now...no he wasn't. W&l assistant job pays way more than the fdu job, plus it's a better job.choochooCharlie wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 7:48 pm Mendoza (W&L AC) to FDU? Heard he was on campus, interview?

How do YOU know he wasn’t? Guy wants his own project, something to be proud of. Can’t blame him for at least doing the interview.MarionBarry wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 10:35 pmStop that right now...no he wasn't.

Horrible rumor. Better rumor would be McCabe stepping down and Mendozza stepping up.choochooCharlie wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 7:48 pm Mendoza (W&L AC) to FDU? Heard he was on campus, interview?

Re: Coaching Carousel 2024
TBH it’s out there that he’s fallen out of favor. McCabe won’t be around forever, but it’s sounding like Mendoza isn’t “the guy”. FDU might be just the spot.Carroll81 wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2024 7:56 pmHorrible rumor.
