[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you feel the number of women college soccer coaches are too many, not enough, or just right? Should anything be done to change it or just let things happen on their own?[/quote]

See this is an actual question with the purpose of getting an answer to expand the conversation. I don’t have enough information to answer that question intelligently. Can I acknowledge there is a disparity, yes? However, If we knew how many women were applying vs male counterparts and what percentage of candidates met the qualifications etc. I think people could have an intelligent conversation. Do I think a lot of women apply for coaching jobs in male sports? I think there are probably very few. Do I think more males apply for jobs in women’s athletics vs women applying for male jobs? Yes. Do I think from a pure numbers perspective that is a major factor in that disparity? Yes. You cannot argue that.

There are no numbers that I am aware of with that type of data, but would love to see something like that.

What if there are job openings and no women apply? Is that a possible scenario in a percentage of cases? That makes hiring a woman impossible. I would love to see stats on who applies so you can know.

What I do not like is people saying 97% men <——- not true and stupid statement. Or FSU should be ashamed of all male staff on the national championship team. Think that is irresponsible. Or posting sarcastic childish statement like we should not change norms or that men are better. This a a complex topic that cannot be boiled down to one thing like gender. That is low hanging fruit and people expressing outrage without a deep understanding of the landscape.
