And, Drake never even announced that Stone had left.

That makes me think this wasn't a happy departure. Someone on the message board I linked to said Stone was asked to leave, but that's just a rumor. I don't know why you'd ask your three-time conference coach of the year to leave unless there was something big brewing under the radar.

Corbin Stone went to the Idaho Rush. I don't know what the soccer coaching ladder looks like, but I don't think it sounds good for a D1 program to lose its successful coach to a club program. His Drake bio shows he has strong ties to Iowa, and his wife is a Drake law graduate. Strange that he'd move halfway across the country. Here is a soccer message board thread where they talk about Drake, Stone, and a lot of other college soccer openings.

She replaces Corbin Stone, who resigned to become a technical director for a soccer club in Boise, Idaho.

Seems like an odd career move.....is this more money &/or prestige in being a technical director for a soccer club than there is in being a college coach?
