Oh wise and all-knowing guru of college women’s soccer, I humbly await your divine revelation. Please, descend from your throne of infinite knowledge and bestow upon me the sacred truths, for clearly, I am but a fool—99% wrong, as you so generously pointed out. Guide me, O chosen one, so that I may bask in the brilliance of your unmatched expertise. ⚽
Syracuse coach got a five-year extension pretty recently. Takes her out to 2029 or 2030 is the rumor. Never announced it publicly for obvious reasons. School wants a caretaker while they focus on other sports. So very much not a hot seat. Based on no first hand experience of her as a person or coach, the new Kansas State coach seems very good at landing on her feet. Charmed career
Charmed career especially when Josh Walters is very outspoken about how terrible she is. A possible reference doesn’t have a good word to say.
Seen a lot of negative discussion about the new K-State coach. Can somebody provide any background on why she is so terrible?
https://www.2adays.com/coaches/colleen-corbin-133819 Take this for what you want, is it disgruntled players? The truth? Somewhere in between?
I had no idea Josh Walters had an issue with Colleen. Does he have an issue with the Troy coach, since it’s similar feedback and issues?
People we are aware that you probably could find a UNC player who will tell you Damon Nahas is the worst person. When the going is good for a player, they love their coach and when it isn't they hate them. Personally, in my opinion (so I'm not saying I'm right) it what the pay to play model breeds. Plus some players are just good in club and not so good in college.
Absolutely incredible if Syracuse has a contract extension until 2030. Go 3-48-5 in the ACC, including 0 conference wins the last two seasons, and get rewarded with an extension. Wish I could say it’s unbelievable, but administration there must be fine with someone just babysitting the group while support and revenue share $ goes to other sports. Honestly not a bad way to collect a decent paycheck, just show up and no pressure to compete while kids just need to stay out of trouble and get good grades. Just have to be comfortable showing up every day knowing you have no real shot at ever winning.
Players know exactly what to say to get a coach in trouble then the admins just cave to it. Most of these cases are guilty-until-proven-innocent yet they never get a fair trial.
Oh wow, what a shocker! Color me stunned! Honestly, with their 99% nonsense and that generous 1% fluke of truth, it's practically a goldmine of misinformation. I mean, why wouldn’t anyone want to base their entire worldview on it? Please, go ahead and delete your profile — it’s clearly been contaminated beyond repair.
You should follow that link and type Sean Frazers name. Corbin is poorly regarded in a lot of coaching circles for being very two faced, self serving, and incompetent as a coach. I don’t anticipate it to go well at K State, but she did win a championship at Wyoming and that was completely unexpected so maybe there is hope. As for Walter’s and discussing the Troy head coach I am not aware of anything said in that direction. I have expressed my perspective on him previously on this board from his NAIA days and reputation, but no I am not aware of anything said in type of resentment from Josh towards him.
This sounds like a coach trying to defend other coaches. The fact is, there are just too many head coaches who are way over their skis, and just too lazy to take the job seriously or are outright incompetent. Confidence is everything in sports. It is pure malpractice for coach to focus on some players and ignore others. Those teams will find it very difficult to succeed. Especially now with the active portal, better players will jump ship to better programs and coach will be stuck with those same players he/she ignored, then complain of how bad the team is. There is just not 336 competent WSOC head coaches out there. Anyone who think otherwise, is just trying to defend the indefensible.
Agree - mathematics and statistics are real! Always have to do your research and have an open mind when selecting a school, and a coach. Schools don't bat 1000 picking coaches and coaches never bat 1000 recruiting players. Sometimes it stinks when your favorite school has a revolving door for coaches in women's soccer (and/or for the roster) but maybe that's better then being stuck in mediocrity? Just about every conference has these various examples but players have more power of choice then ever! Fortunately, we have a 'mature' soccer culture in the US - in some ways. At least we have lots of tech- the transfer portal, game video archives, coach ratings (sort of), emails and texts, social media, and things like anonymous forums. There are websites that track the number of players transferring out of programs. Clearly RPI, and team and coaching records are out there - present and historical. You could probably find a video interview online with every D1 coach in the country, or you can ask for one! Players (and families) really have no excuse if they take a risk on a program in transition vs a stable program and coach. Competitive sports is a 50-50 enterprise. It's up to you to improve those odds by doing research and making good decisions. Choose wisely or you may find yourself complaining to anonymous forum posters about your coach!
Some of this stuff below is fairly damning. If the “current college climate” is protecting the health of the athletes, what’s the issue? That said, it was a long investigation. It seems like it could have been wrapped up more quickly. University of Akron Women's Soccer Head Coach Jennifer Simonetti was fired recently after an investigation found she dismissed athletes' injuries and forced them back on the field too soon, among other allegations (by @Bryce_Buyakie in the @beaconjournal)https://t.co/4tR41WarM4 pic.twitter.com/T0AW8wgMLN— NIL 𝘯𝘰𝘵 NLI (@NILnotNLI) May 21, 2025
Akron has been a mess for years- that comment about an athlete being unfit but having a fracture is bad on the coach and the medical department. The ‘anonymous’ claims about being yelled at are a joke: have you heard soccer coaches during games? They yell. And they yell at practices. And it’s not just soccer coaches. Sorry but this is bs and I agree with whoever said the current climate is an issue. The medical professional concerns see to be inconsistent also. The assistants back the head coach that there decisions were made they agreed with. Coaches cannot usurp medical advice- if a medical professional does not clear and athlete to play they don’t play. I don’t see how this is on the coach unless there is more to this. There is some weight to these claims but man this investigation doesn’t seem like it’s enough to fire a coach unless there is more that has not been divulged. As for the Title IX complaint my guess is that is the coach playing the system back at the university so I doubt it goes anywhere. So who is brave enough to take over the dumpster fire that is Akron soccer? And thank you to whoever removed the paywall so that we could all read the article.
Looks like Missouri promoted and brought someone in. Is it normal to have two associate head coaches plus a head coach?
