Other comment: a bit ahead of myself but jumping in to ccman's posts about candidates, should Tyler make his move to SC: Mike Campbell....current women's beach coach? Tayibah Haneef(sp): was an Oregon assistant. Saw her at women's matches last year. Assume she is back in Southern CA.
I sure hope they are not going to go backwards regarding WVB. As much as many fans would like to see both basketball programs become LB fixtures in the community LBSU is a volleyball school with a rich history. Both MVB and BVB are national ranked every year and MVB competes for the national title every year. WVB has the capability to be a player in the sport and look how fast their attendance doubled with more room to grow. The powers to be need to prioritize their dollars in sports that the school can succeed in and sports that the community can get behind and have a history of showing up. WVB is one of those and their budget should allow them to reach their maximum potential.
Here's my question...is Janey and Apel willing to offer a compensation package to the new coach, similar to what Tyler had or is this going to be another opportunity to "balance the budget"?
this will be interesting
7-8 years ago, the pool seemed pretty obvious and see how careers turned out
Joy (saw how that turned out)
Tyler (not official, and now we have reinforced to know Tyler looks out for Tyler #1, he did leave the the program in a better state that when he came, but the way he left puts the program in a bit of triage)
Hilliard (looked great while at San Diego, has struggled to get any traction at SDSU, has not proved he can build a mid-major)
Nicole Polster (Debbie Green's daughter and former Beach setter) : was gaining valuable experience at UOP, adn then Fullerton, in two years at Fullerton, it's been dismal, granted Fullerton is pretty much a graveyard for coaches. Has former Interim Sabrina Hernandez as assistant.
Erika Dilliard: good success as Oregon assistant, would be crazy to ditch that gig
gonna be tons of applicants
Natalie Morgan. Interim for now. Assistant and recruiting coordinator. would be poo-poo'd by nay-sayers, due to lack of experience. Natalie and Huus appeared to be great additions last year.
Has respect of players, of course not Tyler's 'cache'. She's got a solid background in technical roles. Would be a total flyer. Walters at Cal Poly was in a somewhat similar situation and became a very good coach.
Misty May: forget about it. They'll need a setter coach, but getting 1 day a week as a volunteer would exceed expectations
Brittany Hochevar: as a setter coach potentially, nothing else
Field is wide open. Tough decisions
Bre Henry (Bre Mackie): HC at Mississippi with Taylor Gregory. Ole Miss is a tough job, and results in two years haven't moved the program to an upper tier SEC program.
