Womens College Coaching Hotseat

Any thoughts on who takes the st. Mary’s or LMU job. Would think Max Rooke at Pepperdine would be a good candidate for both.

He'd be a good candidate anywhere but his family is pretty well established in SoCal
 
Going 11-4-1 and 4-2-1 in Ivy League play wouldn't seem like it would get a first year coach fired. Wonder what happened.

Geez so sorry your dd has had to deal with this crap in her young adulthood. Lesson to be learned is that you choose the school not the Soccer program as I know your dd did. Hopefully this won’t dampen her feelings about soccer and her team can be stronger due to the adversity of the last 2 years.

I think we can all agree that as parents, you/me/we want to raise strong (but loving) young women.....Women, who make a positive impact in the world.

I will refrain from going Reverend ZD on y’all. However I will, with 100% certainty say that gut feeling, intuition, spirit, zen-ness, thin-slicing is real. Teach your girls to listen to it. Cultivate it. Foster it.

While my dd could not play this year. I will openly say there was a lot more going on, in different forms, that her antennas picked up, right away. And yet, she loves the school, and has hopes to potentially come back to the team, in some contribution capacity.

More reason to hire good women coaches. No doubt a handful of these male coaches are looking at our daughters, possibly thinking things, but never acting. It’s the few that lack the filter to refrain like Brendan, who get themselves into trouble.

Right now, in the Pac12, there is only ONE woman head coach under contract for next season (Cromwell). I have to believe the ADs at UW (gotta figure that hire has been known for a while, right?) UO are conscious of the impact of their hires (not that they won't hire a man but that they will at least give it more than a passing thought)

Female coaches can and have also committed the same crimes/ethics violations. Don't follow yourself that your dd is safe because she has a female coach.

Not sure anyone is saying that women are incapable of doing the same things. They are. But the accounts of predatory coaches overwhelmingly involve male coaches.

(I will add as the parent of a GK: while my daughter has had some excellent male GK coaches, a woman GK is preferable b/c the position is played differently and a woman GK coach understands that from the athlete's and the coach's perspective)
