Coaching Carousel

Not a coaching change, but AD change. Christa Racine moves from Drew University to Haverford College. This is interesting as Racine was a HS All-American right around the corner from Drew and had been at the University for over 30, with two daughters even playing soccer at the school. I wonder what pushed her to the Main Line?

She replaces Danielle Lynch, who moved to Pomona-Pitzer in California, which is also interesting because Lynch was native to NJ as well.

Maybe has something to do with the bleak financial picture Drew is in?

They are in truly terrible shape.  The latest audit is a horror story where the school has the balls to list a <negative> $81 million in assets without donor restrictions - meaning they're spending money they don't have to spend.

Another Director of Soccer position overseeing both men's and women's programs.  This one doesn't appear to be a case where one team's coach will officially coach both teams, but considering the women's team went 0-13-1 last season in the new coach's first year with the team, it suggests that the men's coach will be helping the women's team out a lot.  Considering the men's team only went 3-12-1, though, I'm not sure spreading their coach thinner will help either team.

Keystone Promotes Clint Caso to Director of Soccer with Oversight over Men's and Women's Soccer

Keystone College Athletics has announced the creation of a Director of Soccer role to oversee all aspects of Keystone soccer operations moving forward. Clint Caso to serve as the College's first Director of Soccer, adding to his roles as Head Men's Soccer Coach and Coordinator of Transfer and International Compliance.

The Director of Soccer will provide administrative and strategic leadership for both the men's and women's varsity soccer programs, serving as the chief organizer of the College's overall soccer operation. The position is designed to support continued efforts to build roster depth, strengthen recruiting systems, improve daily program structure, and establish long-term competitive stability.

In collegiate soccer, a Director of Soccer commonly oversees both varsity programs while helping align recruiting, staffing, operations, scheduling, travel, budget planning, and player development standards. At Keystone, the role will provide a unified structure for both programs while supporting the individual needs and competitive goals of each team.

Primary responsibilities will include developing and managing a comprehensive recruiting and scouting plan, coordinating game scheduling and team travel, organizing daily program operations, supporting staff communication, and establishing consistent standards across the men's and women's soccer programs.

The Director of Soccer will also assist with long-term strategic planning, roster management, recruiting boards, campus visits, showcase coverage, facility coordination, equipment needs, compliance communication, and overall program organization.

Given Keystone's financial issues, I can't believe they can convince anyone to go there.
