Good to see she landed on her feet. Hate to see anybody out of work. Good luck to Coach Heinz at Valdosta State.

who is in the mix for the winthrop gig? and why so long to make a hire?

Winthrop University will name it's new women's soccer coach tommorow: Spencer smith the men's coach from Radford!!

The Georgia Soccer Forum is blowing up with the Winthrop job. I guess it was offered to Eric Faulconer from Armstrong Atlantic but he turned it down and now Smith will get it. Interesting move for Smith and choice for Winthrop.

That greek guy, Anonymous, sure posts a lot on the Georgia forum.

i am so shocked they could not get anyone else, a guy from the big south who coach's a men's team who was so-so at that in the big south. I am shocked there were not D1 asst. coaches or D2 or D3 head coaches that wanted this job-maybe it does not have the tools for a successful program, i don't know...but this is a surprising hire; as coastal had 3 women in for it's head job and i am sure alot of inquiries...rock hill is right by charlotte-shocking!!!

will the new coach keep Brabson on staff?

it is official-the radford men's coach is the winthrop women's coach..on their website

Is this a good hire? This coach has a sub .500 career winning percentage and he is supposed to rebuild this program? He also has never coached women.
