Is the Western Oregon coach locked in at UNLV? What are the chances she's going down the road to Vegas? Lol Either way, I'm sure we'll see a graphic soon enough with her announced somewhere.

Yeah, I'm guessing that's because he cratered to the demands of the A&M baseball players and hired your inexperienced baseball head coach who your entire fan base then wanted fired after one season which resulted in total failure
Yes I believe this is locked in. I will put it all on red and see what happens. Washington State should look at Citowicki at Montana; he doesn’t have anything else to prove there and is ready for the jump. First class coach. I heard Dilanni at Iowa was on campus at Florida. That would be a great hire if true.
Wasn’t he only at MSU for a year? In watching quite a bit of SEC I was impressed with how they played, but they are losing their best player to graduation so would probably take a step back. I’d have to imagine more resources at Florida as well.
I hear she is great but not quite ready for the job just yet. Needs some head coaching elsewhere under her belt. Current acting head coach much more likely. But crazier things have happened.

UCLA Miss St. ODU A&M Wazzu Is that the consensus of the openings right now? Also, what are you guys hearing about Robinson from Western Michigan? He's been killing it there and seems like a logical hire for someone.
Most people won't know it because of where he comes from, but Danny Owens is a better hire than a lot of the far bigger jobs will make this year
No stranger to the 601 😏 We are excited to announce @DannyOwens145 as the new head coach of the Golden Eagles!🔗 https://t.co/JMDXXZDWV5 pic.twitter.com/cGyNA1uSWw— Southern Miss Soccer (@SouthernMissSoc) December 5, 2025 I completely agree — this is a strong hire, especially if Southern Miss is well funded. A large portion of his recruiting success has come from getting internationals, which may not be as feasible at Southern Miss depending on their structure. It’s also important to remember that NAIA competition is very different from NCAA Division I. In the NAIA, you might face one strong opponent every couple of weeks and see 7–0 scorelines regularly. At the Division I level, you rarely get a sure win. I’m curious to see how he adapts, but I do believe he has the ability to get results there.
Or A&M isn't offering top salary when EVERYBODY in the soccer world knows that G was the highest paid coach in the game over the last several years.
This and the fact that they’re not offering anything NIL related. 28 fulls is great but competition having less full rides but more NIL cash is canceling that out
