I'm sorry, what university? Will they raise money for "The Human Fund" for community service?

Yes they will

More money (NAIA) and less stress (not competing for the bottom of the ODAC) seems like a pretty good "Life" decision

I wonder if Hayes is staying in coaching?

Surprised adminstration didn't take the easy route and hire assistant (and alum) Sam Hahn

Hayes went to LIU as assistant.

Maybe. But how many 17-18-year-old males set their sights on chiropractor school at the universally renowned Life University, AND play lacrosse?

I honestly think that those players will major in something along the lines of Biology, Business Administration or Psychology and just get their degree. iWith the kind of scholarship money a number of these NAIA schools throw around it may be ridiculously cheap and hard to turn down. The mens soccer team at Life has 37 on their roster (a number of them are international) as well as the rugby team having 44 members of the squad.

Also, Mount Union is open. Not listed on the website, but Coach Stewart is out. They've had a couple candidates on campus, players have met with them as well. Could be a quick process.

Mount Union has been open all summer. My son played summer ball with some UMU guys and they had told him back in June.

As one of a number of people I had also heard this position was open/opening in early July. I didnt see anything posted, so just figured it was a rumor and wasnt sure.

Announcement coming soon I'm guessing

Me too. That's why I didn't post before.

Interesting to note that Swarthmore bumped one of their assistants to full time for the first time ever--wonder if that reflects the demand for head coaches in the PA area.

anyone want to update the list? I might if I have time.

Maybe. It looks like they do have about 10-12 majors from which to choose. I guess any will work.

It may just be a continuing investment in the program by the school. IIRC, Gress has only be able to offer "coach support" during the admissions process for the last 5-6 years. Given Swat's selectivity/prestige/location, I wouldn't be surprised to see this kind of investment elevate the program pretty quickly to the level of Williams/Midd/Amherst/W&L/etc.

I think it’s more of keeping up with the conference. They have proven themselves to be a legit competitor in the conference and I guess the school is giving them what they deserve. I applaud the move!!

Imagine staying somewhere for 26 years before getting a full-time assistant. That's crazy.

Looks like Culpepper is the new Director of Operations at UNC.

For years school admins could play the game of knowing there were more guys who wanted that kind of job, so they knew they would eventually find a qualified coach willing to work those hours for that kind of pay. But the times have changed.

Now you got guys looking at long hours, with limited support / limited chance at success for (for a lot of these open jobs), likely relocating (maybe with a family?), trying to find housing in a tough buyers market, not to mention trying to find a good job for a spouse (if applicable) all for $50K just to call yourself a head coach....you have to really love coaching to put yourself through that.

The whole money and obscene hours thing was one of the biggest reasons for me leaving the sports information field. There are a few other reasons on top of that, but that's not really a discussion that belongs in a public forum. No sense in burning bridges even though I have zero interest of ever going back into sports information.

It got to the point where I felt like I was just living to work and not working to live. Unless you REALLY love what you do, there really is no logical justification for sacrificing your life away to always be working for not much money.

Took me a while to get where I am because the whole COVID thing popped up a year after I left and screwed up everything, but now I work less with considerably less stress and make more money with better benefits. And this is a job that requires significantly less qualifications to obtain than what I had when I left sports information!

May have missed some, but this is what I could gather

Are we sure that the Ursinus job is open?

I heard the assistant (Shaffer) is in line...just a rumor.
