Oh, the places they’ve gone: Former WKU head coaches land across the map

As the years have gone by on the Hill, the faces at the helm of WKU’s athletic programs have seldom stayed the same.

Travis Hudson and Jason Neidell — the head coaches of the WKU volleyball and women’s soccer teams, respectively — are outliers in the Division I coaching ranks.

Hudson has built the Lady Topper volleyball program into a perennial contender on the national stage since he took over in 1995, while Neidell has been the strategist behind over 200 WKU victories on the pitch since the university established its women’s soccer program in 2001.

While Hudson and Neidell have continued to reap what they’ve sown over the years at WKU, other head coaches on the Hill have come and gone.
