I agree 110%

Why not just go after Burrell… Im nervous to hand this program over to an assistant. I don't trust Trev on this, he's always gone after the cheaper route instead of the big splash hire… you can't do this after all Pat Henry did. We're supposed to be the standard of track and field

Here's hoping it's actually Burrell or another head coach with winning experience

Whatever the end result is, Coach Henry will be involved in the process and has expressed great appreciation and trust for Trev Alberts. Coach wouldn't leave this program in the hands of someone who isn't fit for success.

I trusted Gary Blair then we got Joni Taylored

Burrell is 59. I'd prefer someone who would be around a while.

How about K-State coach Travis Geopfert instead? 47 years old. 10 years Arky assistant; 4 years Tennessee associate head coach; 4 years Arkansas associate head coach.

He's been at K-State two years and at NCAAs this year indoors women finished 7th and men 4th; outdoors men finished 8th and women 29th. They scored 0 points total between men and women, indoors and outdoors the year before he arrived.

Shouldn't break the bank to get him from K-State.

People that I think would come for sure:
Burrell (almost won a team title at Houston; his sprinters dominate)
Petros at Illinois (won NCAA at UGA and is killing it at Illinois of all places)
Dan Waters (Henry protege and someone that builds whole teams instead of specific event areas): his guy just smashed the NCAA 400 record and he won an SEC title in our building; also has won SEC cross country

Blake Harris forgoes his final year of eligibility and will retire from the sport

Stefon Dodoo wins the USA U20 800 Meters! I really hope our new coach embraces 800 Meter U, having Peter Narumbe, Dodoo, and Grant Ashby are a huge piece to this team!

Same meet, Etoro Bassey cleared 7'3 in the high jump, but finished 3rd.

Adam Averett is on his way to a PB in the decathlon, he's in 8th with two events to go

Agree, I would understand not announcing anything the day Coach retired, he deserves the moment, he has more than earned that.

So maybe Monday morning if it's done.....

JUST SAW THAT ANDREW JONES WENT 49.43 IN THE 400 HURDLES MY OH MY

Jones may come in next year and give us a chance to score in both hurdle races as a freshman! He better one of the first calls from the new coach

And he got third, including behind a high school junior. That's what is nuts.

Also, Stephon Dodoo won the 800 in 1:48.59.

(this is the US U20 Championships)

Aggie signees Andrew Jones and Joshua Shelton team up on a 4x400 that breaks the national high school record by going 3:05… yes 3:05.

Jones split a 46.3 and Shelton a 45.9
