I know it is "only" swimming, but as a former swimmer, I am really disappointed in the new coaching staff. The new head coach is someone who hasn't formally coached in years, who turned around and hired his buddy who hasn't coached in years, his daughter (with minimal experience), and kept the current distance coach who has not produced an NCAA scoring athlete in his 5 year tenure.
We have the golf team winning an NCAA title. We have the gymnastics team winning an NCAA title. We are the National Championship football team. Arguably one of the best athletic departments in the nation should not revamp an entire coaching staff and not hire at least ONE person who has guided a kid to NCAAs in the last 15 years. What a disappointment. This is the weakest link in our athletic department, and it just got weaker.
