NCAA 2026 NCAA Coaching changes

[irichluck21]

I don't see that happening since they were removed from the roster.
Also Koltekov was the vault coach and is replaced by Megan Dowlen.

Especially since its a matter of time before Laurent gets named for bars coach.

Do you know why it’s taking so long to name him as an assistant coach?

Next UGA Assistant named:

New floor coach?

 

[GEMINAM]

Nebraska needs two more coaches too, pointedly they need a bars coach as I don't think Curler or Wright do bars.... What bar coaches are out there?

 

[irichluck21]

Nebraska no longer has 2 coaching slots open.

Jordan (Bowers) Gamboa was added as AC.

Well I never…

 

[QuietColours]

Shocked.

 

[MaryClare]

Ah, I just the thought of something. Didn’t Laurent give Simone some sort of deadline to let him know if she was coming back? Maybe the timing is because she isn’t coming back

 

[irichluck21]

Would Simone train with Laurent or current WCC coaches?

Also, pretty sure Roberson will be announcing she's headed to UGA soon.

 

[irichluck21]

Ashley Kerr has resigned from Oklahoma, she will be replaced by Utah State AC and former Sooner Olivia Trautman.

Would Simone train with Laurent or current WCC coaches?

She's been talking to Laurent, but this quote is from before Roberts left for Auburn.

" I'm still on the health and wellness journey. I mean, Laurent asks me all the time, and if I have to say anything, I'm just like, give me a little bit more time to recover mentally, physically. But he's always like okay, well, you just give me two years. And so I feel like we're coming up on that mark. We got a little bit more of things to do and then we'll see. " - Biles, February 2026.

Sad to see Ash go but thrilled to have Trautman back.

 

[Sasha]

I've got such a soft spot for Trautman, nice to see her back with her old crew.

It's not in Biles' best interests at all to say she isn't going to try for LA. Best to leave all options open, and by that I mean financial ones, not competitive.

Great addition for Nebraska.

They are quietly putting together an excellent coaching panel.

 

[irichluck21]

The goal is to get Nebraska back to nationals contender. Kendig had a great program going and Brink took over and slowly it dropped down. They went from almost winning Nationals in 2003 to last place in the Big Ten champs this season.
They used to get elite gymnasts in the past. Although they did have Emma Spence recently.

 

[RichardL]

I was the assistant coach of an elite who was a star at Nebraska in the early aughts, and we thought it was the most exciting thing in the world to land her a scholarship there. Very different now!

Meanwhile, I talked to Mike Rowe(MSU) and he has no staff. I think he was actually trying to recruit coaches at Nationals. Word on the street was that all their contracts needed to be renewed and Nicole was supposed to be made Associate Head Coach. When the time came, he re-upped himself and left the others out It would explain why she would leave her home state and Alma mater. If true, it kinda serves him right, although im devastated because im a big MSU fan.
