oruvoice Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 Probably the right move, but still wonder why we retain two head coaches in sports that haven't won a conference title in over a decade? Both of which are sports at ORU that have had some amazing tradition.

92EagleFan Matt B Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 Has anyone heard any rumors about potential head coaches? It's been a couple of months.

titansforever Posted November 21, 2024 Posted November 21, 2024 November 2024. This just in: https://oruathletics.com/news/2024/11/21/womens-volleyball-oru-athletics-announces-volleyball-coaching-change.aspx
ORU82 Posted November 22, 2024 Posted November 22, 2024 Not to pile on but in 2 seasons his record in the Summit was 3-29 and his overall record was 7-50. Yes, it was time for a change. 1
ORUJason Posted November 22, 2024 Posted November 22, 2024 There is a lot of high school volleyball talent in Oklahoma and Texas. Even without a big recruiting budget a good coach should be able to put a talented roster together to compete in the Summit League without having to go the international route. 2
Bogus Smith Posted November 23, 2024 Posted November 23, 2024 There is a lot of NIL money in the volleyball market. Outside of WBB, it is the #2 women's sport that NIL is spent on. Gone are the days of an Elite 8 appearance. Only winning the SL post-season tournament will get ORU a look inside the NCAA tournament.
titansforever Posted January 2 Posted January 2 New coach on board: https://oruathletics.com/news/2025/1/2/womens-volleyball-oru-athletics-names-nolan-albrecht-as-oruvb-head-coach.aspx
Dave Connor Posted January 2 Posted January 2 New coach on board: https://oruathletics.com/news/2025/1/2/womens-volleyball-oru-athletics-names-nolan-albrecht-as-oruvb-head-coach.aspx Based on this news release, it looks like ORU has hired a coach that can turn our volleyball program around and get us back on the winning track. I look forward to watching him coach this fall. 2
theeagleman5 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 A Liberty guy....TheEagleman likes it.....can we get their basketball coach in this deal also???.... 1
ORU82 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Agree that on paper both he and his sister (Annika) who he is bringing as an assistant coach, look very impressive. His sister by the way was an All American at Nebraska and led her team to 2 NCAA D-I National Titles. Our program (and I use that term loosely)has been in the tank for a long time so they will have their work cut out for them. However, hopefully they can build a program and make us competitive/relevant again. Good luck Coach and may God bless and direct your work at ORU. 2 3
92EagleFan Matt B Posted January 3 Posted January 3 I'm really hoping that he can turn this program around. ORU Volleyball was an outstanding program with a lot of pride when I was a student. 4
