Vols ponder "Director of Track and Field" option

Re: Vols ponder "Director of Track and Field" opti

When J.J. Clark was interviewed after his team won the NCAA Indoor he named and thanked his staff. I think that he named and thanked Pauline Davis-Thompson and John Frazier. Is John Frazier the 1980s UCLA shot putter?

Yes... http://www.utladyvols.com/sports/w-trac ... ohn00.html

Thanks for the info about Frazier. I coached him in high school, BUT he was the real coach. I did the chores that required a teaching credential, whereas he was more informed about the shot & disc training than his older teammates and coaches.

Tennessee is considering combining men's and women's programs under a "Director of Track and Field" position. If that happens, I assume the job is J.J. Clark's.

Also, Aaron Ausmus, former Vol All-American putter, almost certainly will be named strength coach for the men's athletic program.

Celreice Law won the SEC 60h and 100h. She also was second to Ofili at indoor nationals and set the Lady Vol school record. And, you describe that as "falling off"? Layne fell off, though she was second at SEC indoors, but THAT is where the story is ...

Thanks. I couldn't remember. Man just a week out of the season and I'm already out of form.

She was fired last week!!! Trust me on this! She didn't resign.

So?

LOL oh boy, if this site wasn't so REP. I would go in on you!!! Oh well, I will step away from the computer..lol

You are completely wrong! She was DEFINITELY at the NCAA's as I saw her there - every day! You know, coach-to-coach, that sort of thing ...

You might want to fact check your misinformation before you begin projecting your opinions as truth.

That said, it is "strange" for an indoor assistant of the year to resign, or be "asked" - if that is what happened, 3 months after receiving the award.

I don't know for sure, but it seems like the Vol women regressed in sprints, hurdles. Lynne Layne fell of the map. Celriece Law I think went backwards, too.

I figured she was canned but didn't know for sure. Still don't, but it seems that way.

I wish her luck! She wasn't even at NC's!!!

I mean think about it, resign after ONE year???? Come on now, even a blind man could see the BS!!!

So?

So... if jb is spot on...it matters what the truth is...no?

I mean they can say she resigned because frankly it looks better on her resume. But if she was fired its nice to hear the truth and I'll bet she wants someone to know that she was pushed out.

She might feel betrayed...

No?

Texas still has separate athletic departments.

Effectively, I might add.
