New Volleyball Coach - ilovegymnast - 03-07-2022 04:49 PM
Gromala was apparently let go with one year left on his contract. I had no clue that he was gone until the announcement today.
Haley Eckerman steps in after being an assistant coach at TCU.

That article says he had a year left on his deal, but the announcement on his 5 year extension back in 2016 was supposed to take him through the 2021 season.

Article was written by Moff on the record courier. I linked the yahoo page because its not behind a pay wall.
His contract not being renewed would make more sense as to why it wasn't publicized compared to firing him.

Wishing her all the best. Our Volleyball program has been down a longtime. Only question I have is being from Texas , no recruiting connections in our region. Hopefully that can be overcome .
As we saw with Football for many years HS coaches steered their athletes away from KSU.
Welcome to Kent State!!
