Holeman should get P-5 offers, he won at Georgia, he continues to win at previously terrible program Lamar. As a college coach, scary if its just for win loss not as productive as AD thinks when posting winning records in a somewhat challenging conference (I know not top 10 soccer conference, but definitely not near the bottom). Jim Thomas BSU, has to be the front runner I would think for the UW opening. He came from there as successful assistant, led BSU to tourney and great record. An established program like the Huskies would want one of their own. There IS A Lot of pressure for AD's the last six years to hire female coaches for female sports. Personally have been told in three finalist interviews you are the most qualified candidate, best resume, scored the highest in interviews, but if there's any female applicants with remotely close resume we've got to go with them. Heck I was even offered at one of the schools, got an email with congrats on the offer, then it was rescinded the next day because a 23 year old female two year assistant coach applied with zero head coaching experience, she rated 4th out of the 5 semi finalists in score for coaching ability and then interviews, but she was the highest rated female they had that applied, so given the job. UNLV AD, she was the Associate AD at Cincinnati during this, and her goal was to hire females for female sports. Take a read. https://gobearcats.com/story.aspx?f...s_in_hiring_female_coaches&file_date=2/4/2015 This isn't a race complaint, it is a gender complaint. Its coming males, there is a women's only NCAA coaching group that supports each other for jobs and references, hiring. I tried to join, not allowed into meetings at convention. Asked a colleague who attended what it was about, she gave me a little insight. Mainly about empowering women to get the jobs and encourage and help each other get head coaching jobs and grow women in the sport. Thats not a negative thing. It only becomes negative in cases like Portland State's hire, where over 100 males with great experience applied for the job, but they were explicitly told they would not consider any males for the job, its a "Female only head coaching position there", so when the first two females they offered turned the job down, they had no qualified candidates with any head coaching experience. So they turned to a recent grad assistant, recent team manager who got promoted to paid assistant to get her feet wet at Sac State and offered her her first job. Hows it going with that experiment, 4-15 this year. Record like 17-45 ish record in three years without playing a tough schedule, Bottom 30 rpi in nation two years in a row. But as long as they don't hire or consider any males that apply. ps. To avoid trash talk, I did not apply for PSU, but a close friend did and that was the exact wording they told him when he spoke with Ms. Cleary their AD. At least she was honest about it. Men coaching women sports in college will go the way of the dinosaurs soon in the woke progressive era.
Sounds a lot like the college men’s coaching jobs. Women have almost no chance of getting those. Men are not disenfranchised here. They have so many more opportunities in the men’s and women’s game than women do. No one is going to sympathize with men in this male dominated profession.
Safe to assume everything on the coaching carousel will probably be quiet until after signing day this week?
Possibly. I’m assuming with a few teams just getting done some coaches are receiving their ‘we need to meet’ message today. I would be shocked if Grand Canyon isn’t in search of a new coach by the end of the week.
These four schools have to at be the top of the list for an end of the week meeting.. FIU Nevada Pacific (CA) Grand Canyon That end of the week meeting for FIU should have taken place right after they lost 0-6 to Marshall, at home!

The hardest part about attracting a top coach for this job will be the crazy expectations the admin will place about winning a national championship which will never happen.
I never realized how poor FIU is. To help me put things into perspective, I went back and looked at the history of the team the past few season. They are 2-15 this year and were 0-17-1 last season. The current head coach, Sharolta Nonen, has a 3-46-1 record over 3 seasons. Over that same time span, FIU has scored 30 goals and conceded 146.There is a forward on the team that has started all games and played 1400+ minutes on the season and has no goals or assists. There may be others but I had seen enough to know that the team is really not good. A forward's job is to find the back of the net or, at least, help create chances for others.
Add SFA to the open list. https://sfajacks.com/news/2019/11/1...levated-in-athletics-administration-role.aspx Who are the finalist at ULM?
No way jim Thomas gets UW. Boise has been ok. This was their best year ever and their RPI is crap. He’s never beat a power 5 school. And it’s taken him almost a decade to get them kinda competitive in a mediocre conference. Maybe he’s on the list but one good year shouldn’t earn a pac-12 job.
UW possibility Julie Woodward. Delivered forever at Seattle. Knows the recruiting area well respected and gets results. No idea if she would leave Seattle but a great candidate if interested
Boise is a good job and any decent coach will win there but he has had a good enough year to move on if a better job presents itself. Grand Canyon- why are they so bad? Temple: any front runners? Good school and a league that you can compete in.

No clue who it is but possibilities could be. . . Freddy Delgato - Former Assistant at ULM. Was the head coach at UALR and New Mexico State wasnt really successful at any of them. I would guess most likely from my list but hes already proven he cant win in that conference. If you cant win at UALR you have no chance on ULMS budgets. Chris Mcnaughton - current assistant at Wayne State. Not D1 so likely not him according to the post. Was a former assistant at ULM and UALR so has experience in the conference. Was head coach at Missouri Southern State University which is D2 and didnt have much luck there Dustin Stein - fits the mention as he is currently the assistant at Pitt. Use to be the head coach at a JUCO in Dallas and had a lot of success there. would be a decent hire for ULM but I couldnt imagine him wanting to leave the ACC for ULM Aaron Cline - has experience in the conference as an assistant at ULM then has been running a club in Lafayette so would know the club scene in the state and surrounding area. Also i believe spent some time as a volunteer assistant at University of Louisiana Lafayette. I think this would be the best option of this list. not sure if the school would agree Dean Joseph - former ULM assistant and Jackson State head coach. Had some success at Jackson State. I think currently hes coaching a high school in Mississippi. Like I said i dont have a clue who the short list is. Just throwing out a few names with some ties to the program since that was the clue given
I keep waiting for Andy McCaslin's name to resurface in the Midwest. He built a winner at D2 Ferris State before leaving the school last summer to move to Indianapolis where his wife took an assistant coaching job. I would think he would be a perfect candidate to take the helm at a struggling Mid Major D1.
Megan Soileau, formally Snelling is currently an assistant at Southern Miss. She was an assistant at ULM for 2 years.
