"to pursue an opportunity outside of coaching"

Ian McCaw will start earning his keep with this hire Coach Murphy did a great job starting the program from scratch and reaching 2 NCAA tournaments and national rankings during her 6 year tenure

My understanding is this wasn't the Liberty forced resignation. She wants to get into the business world and pursue some things there.

I hope this is true.

unlike other sports Liberty field hockey will be a highly sought-after job. Big East, Top 20 team with resources and facilities. Add in the recruiting class thats coming in mixed with the returning players, top 10 team next year. Should have no problem landing a top notch coach.

That was my understanding. Tough to retire being a Womens Field Hockey Coach. I can see her coming back to it

Sure she will greatly appreciate the drastically better work-life balance the non-athletics world provides.

We get it, Wildcat. You don't like to work hard. Athletics ain't for everybody.

I like working hard but I'm glad I'm not in athletics anymore. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

I am aware. Wildcat has made it clear his primary reason for workforce disdain is the long hours and lack of personal time.

In the athletics world, one is always "on". There is no "off" time. Even when away from the workplace, one is still "on" because they represent the Univeraity in a highly visible way. It's not for everyone. That's all I'm saying.

This is why you don't feed the Troll

So Baylor and Tulane didn't play field hockey, but Northeastern and Massachusetts - his two stops before Baylor - did.

Northeastern's coach was there before he arrived and just finished up her 31st and collected her 400th career win, but missed the tournament this year. The Associate HC currently is a former player and appears to be a HC-in-waiting.

Massachusetts' had an interim coach in 2016, a former player, but they just named a permanent HC. The interim was the HC at Indiana and took them to two tournaments, the last in 2009. UMass' coach, long removed from McCaw's time there, left after the 2015 season to go to Princeton.

Interestingly enough, as a sidenote, McCaw's bio is still on the Baylor website - http://www.baylorbears.com/genrel/ian_mccaw_760390.html

I heard an asst. is leaving as well. Quite sudden to have two coaches quit.

It is...but I wouldn't consider it too heavily beyond that.

We know you wouldn't. But maybe someone else would or should.

Im certain...I think i am not considering it beyond that because its one sport that happens to be the one that wasn't at the last two stops for ADIM. If there was signs of resignations from female coaches and transfers from players across the women's sports, then I'd probably give it more detailed consideration.

Methinks you're missing me point.

Methinks you are right...

JK37, if you're going to contradict yourself, at least take a bit longer than six hours to make yourself look like an idiot.

I like working hard, but I no longer find much joy in working 50-60+ hours a week nearly every week from September thru early May while often going weeks without a single day off. Burnout can be a real B****, known many SIDs and coaches leave their respective field over it.

I never contradicted myself.

It ain't for everyone. It's clearly not for you. We get it.

Are you feeding the Troll?

I'm testing the theory that it is possible to troll a troll.

What's the adage about arguing with an idiot?

I'm reminded of this quote:

"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience" (Mark Twain).

Ouch, I'm getting hammered with great wisdom from two old souls!

You don't know how to test theories very well. Time to hit the
