DOC Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 1 hour ago, Lord Elrond said: And that’s why I suggested Alyssa D’Marco. She’s an associate head coach at a school in our league where they have won the conference championship, played and won games in the NCAA, who is also the recruiting coordinator there. I think there are plenty of qualified people looking for a Division 1 head coaching job as the next step in their career that we can afford. They might get lured away to a Power 5 conference sometime. But that’s only if they were successful at SLU first. I agree. She would be a nice fit.

I would prefer we go with a young, ambitious assistant over an older coach who was fired somewhere else, all other things being equal. While we don’t have the budget to match the Power 5 teams, we do have the money to get a good head coach, especially because we have one thing that an ambitious coach wants desperately, an opportunity to lead a NCAA Division 1 program. Not too many of those opportunities come along every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Elrond Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Billikanfan05, you’re on the select committee leading the job search, right? Any word yet, or have you been sworn to silence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any word yet, or have you been sworn to silence? I’ve heard nothing. Would love to see them interview Andrea Beatty. Played under Anne, technically has HC experience. I don’t necessarily understand the HC experience requirement. Shields didn’t, Anne didn’t. Those are the two most successful women’s coaches in SLU history. Kent Miller really alienated a lot of the Alumni when he took over. Unfortunately I don’t think the women I was friends with have kept up with the program.

OkieBilliken Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 Its very cool to bring back a former player. Interesting that she transferred to Missouri State after only 1 year playing for Coach Miller. Guess she spotted mediocre leadership immediately.

Looks like what we got in Andrea Beaty is superior leadership. I think there’s no doubt that the conditions exist in the area for a great program, and I think we got a coach who can take the program to new heights.

DOC Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 When May mentioned the “volleyball community” being involved that meant he leaned on one of our BOT’s (who is deeply involved in the local club vb scene)to ensure they made the correct hire. It was a good move on his part. Miller ignored local recruits until it was too late. Beaty will mirror Kordes and pick off the top players in a very talented pool. Success will come, but it may take a few years. The talent is poor and I doubt she pulls scholarships. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have been close to her. I didn't even know they called her name out until I just happened to look up and see a woman standing on the screen. Clearly we could not hear the announcer or hear the clapping. I wouldn't expect most people in the arena even knew who she was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
