Cliff notes version: a player got caught with drugs. Coach wanted her gone. Lawyer dad fought to get her reinstated (school and AD caved). Coach quit in frustration.

How many of you even looked at this person's qualifications before declaring a disaster?

Did you read this first?

Hartford, Conn. – Trinity College is pleased to announce the hiring of Rachael Sushner (Potomac, Md.) as its new head women's soccer coach. Sushner, who comes to Hartford from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, is the fourth women's soccer coach in the 38-year history of Trinity's varsity program. Sushner, who led St. Olaf to a 27-21-4 record over the past three seasons, replaces Michael Smith....

...Sushner took the reins of the St. Olaf program that had gone 9-21-6 prior to the 2016 season and produced winning seasons in each of her three years including a 10-6-2 mark last fall. She led the Oles to the MIAC Championship Tournament twice and the program earned a spot in the conference quarterfinals in 2018. In her three seasons, Sushner coached seven All-MIAC selections and three United Soccer Coaches All-North Region honorees. Her teams also collected the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award twice, and three Oles were named to the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-North/Central Region Teams in Sushner's three seasons.

Prior to St. Olaf, Sushner served as an assistant coach at Washington and Lee University for three seasons and Clarkson University for two years, after starting her coaching career as an assistant at Wellesley College. She helped Washington and Lee post a 45-8-3 record from 2013 to 2015, and was a member of the Liberty League Coaching Staff of the Year at Clarkson in 2011. Sushner currently coaches Team USA for the Pan American Maccabi Games, which will take place in Mexico City this summer. She was also St. Olaf's senior woman administrator beginning in the spring of 2016, and created the Ole Leadership Academy for student-athletes in that role...

...Sushner is a graduate of Skidmore College, where she earned a bachelor's degree in business and sociology and was a captain and highly-decorated player for the nationally-ranked Thoroughbreds. An all-conference and all-regional honoree three times each, Sushner went on to play professionally with the Adirondack Lynx and the Boston Breakers of the Women's Professional Soccer League (WPSL) and in Canada for the London Gryphons. She also owns a master's degree from Clarkson in business administration...


...What People Are Saying About Rachael Sushner
"This is an exciting time for Trinity women's soccer program. Coach Rachael is an extremely knowledgeable coach who cares deeply about her student athletes. I have no doubt she will bring great success to the program, while serving as a wonderful role model for young female athletes at Trinity." - Neil Cunningham, Washington and Lee Head Coach

"Rachael is a close friend, confidant and also rival, as our colleges lie 2 miles apart. Her professionalism, commitment to recruiting quality student athletes, and attention to detail as a coach in the MIAC was felt immediately as she brought the Olaf women's team to winning seasons and conference tournament appearances. Like many of us in Northfield, it's sad to see her go, but it's clear that Trinity is both academically and athletically a perfect fit and competes in one of the top women's soccer conferences in the nation. Rachael has improved all the programs she's been a part of and she will do the same at Trinity. It will be great to see her connect with players and build a winning program at Trinity. Even more, Rachael is able to return closer to her roots and extended support."
- Jocelyn Keller, Carleton College Head Coach




How is she not qualified for this job? What exactly makes her a poor choice? What coach locally has this pedigree and is willing and available to take the Trinity position?

This is not impressive at all. Do you know who is really, really happy with this hiring and loves it? The new coach's parents, the Williams coach, the Middlebury coach, the Amherst coach, the Tufts coach.

For Trinity it's fine. Status quo. They're never going to be a powerhouse unless the school/AD want it to be and hire a higher level coach.

You know who's really UNHAPPY? Anyone worried their kid will lost PT under a new coach. Who else? The players stuck in a program that didn't support the coach but rather a punk with a lawyer dad.

Not sure why they would settle for this when their football, baseball, and squash programs have been amazing .... why would you not want all of your programs to shine?

AD caving to a parent sends a great message to the rest of the department. Not. Don't be shocked when others leave as opportunities come up for them.
