2025 Women's Volleyball Season

This coach will run this program straight into the ground. There is no culture. The way he has talked and acted towards the girls is a huge issue. They don’t watch film, he has come up with some crazy game preps that question if he even watches film, his obsession with playing a setter that has no business being at a DI school is crazy, and it was obvious the girls didn’t respond to his antics. Maybe Doug will get rid of him now instead of in a few years when the program has been tanked.

My faith in Gillin is gone. Don't expect him to do anything.

My guess is Doug has no idea what is going on with Volleyball. He sees they were around .500 and that is good enough for a first year coach and expected a rebuild this year. Unless he is talking to the players, he doesn't know how bad the culture was. Maybe admin does end of year interviews with players? If not, the players are probably too afraid to say anything. We can just hope that admin has some clues that prompt conversations with players to get the real story. Otherwise agree that the longer they wait on a change, the worse it will get.

If the culture is that bad, and you are family members, reach out to Doug yourself, I think it would be warranted.
