Must have been pretty serious for them to remove her after less than two years on the job. Does anyone know the details?

From an Admin/Club level and talking to a few Club Coaches, Id throw Longwood's coach in the mix for a few jobs. Done a great job. Plus some Big South Schools are struggling.
What? When has Longwood been to the NCAA Tournament? Won the Big South? We'll be waiting. You just said Big South schools are struggling. It is a winnable conference. Highpoint started their season 0-6-2 and just won it. Dyer is a good guy but he's a lifer at Longwood and that program has been a steady 3rd/4th place team for years. Why would he roll the dice at another school at this point? Next....

Any clue who Kentucky may be after? Feel like they could get a good coach with the facilities they have and conference they’re in.

Fordham is open. Coach called all her recruits to let them know but she is still listed on the website as HC.
I heard today that Kentucky are looking at Izzy-Wizzy_let's get busy from WVU. Are they in LaLa Land over there? She has a powerhouse of a program at West Virginia.

It seems that she wound up with a club that fields ECNL teams. In terms of why her contract wasn’t renewed in spring 2020, that is a mystery.

Brenda may not have the most charisma out there but she is a smart hard working soccer coach. My understanding was that she often had visa issues at St. Francis. She is a Dutch National and at one point, she had to re-apply for the job there and she was 'rehired' Then there was a change in admin and whatever deal she had made was no longer in effect. I don't claim to understand all the immigration laws but I do know this has happened to other coaches. Some schools just don't like to sponsor international staff and some have limits due to the cost and how it seems to be an unpredictable process. A D3 coach I know for a fact had to leave the country for months to renew his visa. The school gave his asst the interim tag and rehired the first coach when he returned. You don't get that kind of loyalty much in sports generally and def not often in D1.
LMU coach fired for verbal abusing players, Idaho state the same. I think we need to acknowledge that this is a personality trait in people, it's not a gender thing. These young women need good roles models, period. A person should inspire you no matter their gender or race. A male coach can and should be inspired by the likes of Pat Summitt, Dawn Staley, Jill Ellis, Eric Walsh, Becky Hammon etc..(the list could go on and on). Because their great leaders, a lot of assistant coaches out there need to understand, being a leader isn't for everyone.
Abusing players is a wide term. Saying that it does give the impression of doing something really bad. Could it have been a combo of poor results in overall record. LMU and Idaho state coaches had poor on the field results. Could it be that it was no more than that? Does using foul language make one an abuser. I don’t know anything about those coaches but it is sad that people just go ahead and lay it on hard to individuals who just lost their job. Sad I think. Call it what it is. Poor results and lost their jobs.

Georgia open. https://georgiadogs.com/news/2021/11/9/georgia-athletics-announces-soccer-leadership-change.aspx My opinion, that’s the best job open as of now. Great local talent, good school, nice facility.
This suggest to me that the Georgia AD is looking for someone to get the program well above the 50 to 60 rank range, where they were in 2019 and this year.
