    Yes it should...maybe. It could be for behind the scene reasons with just bad timing. Or, he could be a jerk and gets canned everywhere he goes. It could be purely for career advancement if, as you said, he's been successful elsewhere. That Ambitious coaches are also looking out for that next rung on the coaching ladder.


    Focus on academics first with a large pool of targets, then find a good soccer fit amongst those school targets. Coaches can and do leave and other things can happen like chronic injuries, no playing time, burnout. Love the school in case something happens to your sport.

    Haverford dropped the interim label and named him the head coach for men's soccer. I expect he will turn them around fairly quickly. He's done it every place he's gone.

    Zach Ward, the HC, recently resigned in what seems to be a termination dressed up as a "mutual departing of the ways." The word was that he was in over his head once his predecessor's players graduated. Haverford just named Kevin Brenner, an assistant at D1 LaSalle College (and formerly head coach at DIII Eastern University) as interim head coach and he's been running spring practices. He's a pretty impressive guy and I could see him turning things around to some extent if he gets the permanent job. He's already fully involved in recruiting, which suggests the interim tag might be a formality while they go through the appointments process.

    Just wondering whether it's a decent enough situation to encourage a friend to apply.

    It's only under the previous HC, Shane Rineer, that they consistently had years with double digit wins. Other than during his tenure the results have been pretty middling.

    It's a good school academically so that has a certain draw to it. For a D3 coach it's a top conference with NESCAC and UAA. School likes to win and conference puts 4 to 5 teams into NCAA each year. It's not a high pressure win at all cost environment.
    Bad parts are it's tough to get in to and not a huge endowment, so its expensive. Facilities are better than average for D3 but not stellar. It also has JHU in their conference as the perennial powerhouse, the extra covid year is going away so that will help even grad students out a bit.
    It's a great opportunity for a coach to make a name for themselves without tremendous pressure.

    What's up with the change in leadership at Haverford College?

    In typical D3 fashion there's no announcement on the program's web site, but there is a listing on the NCAA's Jobs Market.
