"We thank Deane Webb for his contributions to the Ohio volleyball program, both on and off the court," said Director of Athletics Julie Cromer. "He added to our program's championship history and was a positive influence in the Athens community. We wish him well in his future endeavors."

Says it all, I guess! ;-)

The problem is the timing of his retirement.

Hopefully O.U. knew this was coming, and has been working on his replacement.

Volleyball season isn't far off.

no one was off guard here, and not all "retirements" are equal.

I'm betting it's Abby if Ellen doesn't want it.

I'm no volleyball expert, but from the standpoint of someone who has gone to a lot of games since the Theis days, I feel like the program slid a bit under Webb. Nice guy, but the results are the results. Hopefully the next coach can get us back on top of the MAC.

Tuesday will be 3 weeks since O.U. "posted" the Volleyball coach's retirement.

Based on a previous post,"no one was off guard" by this.

Has anyone heard anything about the search for a new coach ?

They always said Schaus kept a list of available candidates for
coaching openings.

Either Julie doesn't do the same thing,or people aren't interested.
