Bob Bowman Lands ‘Dream Job’ at Texas, Aiming to Build on Eddie Reese Legacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bob Bowman <\/strong>did not need any convincing of this point at the podium in Austin Tuesday: There is no replacing Eddie Reese.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But, the University of Texas\u2019s new director of swimming and diving said at his introductory press conference, there is a chance to build on what came before.<\/p>\n

That was Bowman\u2019s message on his sort-of first day on the job, hired Monday by Texas<\/a>, just two days after leading Arizona State to its first national title<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a dream job or any coaching in this country or in the world,\u201d Bowman said. \u201cI feel like we have an opportunity to honor Eddie\u2019s legacy, because nobody replaces Eddie Reese. I\u2019m certainly not his replacement. I\u2019m just the next one. But I can be me, and Carol (Capitani) and I are going to work together to reimagine how swimming can work, with (diving coach) Matt Scoggin<\/strong>, in a way that\u2019s unique and in a way that will propel Texas Swimming and Diving to the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The landscape-altering moves came Monday, two days after the conclusion of the NCAA Men\u2019s Swimming and Diving Championships in Indianapolis. There, ASU won its first national title<\/a>, less than two decades removed from the program being slated for discontinuation. Texas, with Reese in charge for his 46th season after his second retirement declaration, dropped all the way to seventh, Reese\u2019s 44th consecutive top-10 finish<\/a> at NCAAs but short of adding to his 36 all-time top-three results.<\/p>\n

In the search for a new coach, athletic director Chris Del Conte<\/strong> sought not just excellence but the right cultural fit. In a grandiloquent, seven-minute soliloquy, Del Conte called Bowman, \u201cthe only man who has the fortitude to take over a program led by the great Eddie Reese.\u201d He pointed out that Reese was hired by the late Darrell Royal<\/strong> and won his first national championship during the Carter administration.<\/p>\n

Del Conte said he leaned on the counsel of women\u2019s coach Carol Capitani.<\/strong> Part of the deal to get Bowman to Austin was the creation of a new position that unites the programs, one that Bowman hopes can leverage resources that they share, in terms of facilities, coaching and recruiting.<\/p>\n

Del Conte said that he approached Bowman with a formal offer last week before NCAAs. Bowman\u2019s reply was, \u201cI\u2019m interested in that job. I\u2019m going to go win a national championship first.\u201d<\/p>\n

The massive change affects two significant training groups, not just of collegians but postgrads. Bowman expects disruptions to be minimal, though. Reese will stay on to shepherd his swimmers through June\u2019s Olympic Trials. Bowman said Arizona State will allow him to stay with his group for the time being. Trips are already scheduled \u2013 to San Antonio for the TYR Pro Swim Series next week, then an altitude camp in Colorado in May, leaving less than a month where some of the Arizona swimmers could go to Austin in late May\/early June.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe transition is going to be pretty good because Eddie is going to be remaining with the guys here through Olympic Trials,\u201d Bowman said. \u201cI\u2019m not even going to be involved, maybe cheer them on. Eddie is going to do the nuts and bolts of that, and that frees me up to do my pros. So it\u2019ll be a combination of me working with them \u2013 actually, ASU has allowed me to do that in Tempe for a little bit, so that\u2019s wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bowman took over Arizona State in 2015 and in less than a decade turned a program with only a scant history of swimming success into an international powerhouse, with a stable of international swimmers bound to be medal contenders at this summer\u2019s Olympics in Paris. He previously coached in college at the University of Michigan from 2005-08, around making his name at North Baltimore Aquatic Club.<\/p>\n

Bowman and Reese have worked together many times internationally. Bowman was the head men\u2019s coach at the 2016 Olympics and an assistant in 2004, 2008 and 2012 working with Michael Phelps<\/strong>. Reese was the head coach in 2004 and 2008, as well as 1992.<\/p>\n

\u201cEddie has always been a sounding board for me to ask questions,\u201d Bowman said. \u201cI would come and ask his practices when I was coming up to learn how he worked his magic. Anytime I ever saw him, I picked up something, because he is always evolving. The thing that struck me most about Eddie was that he\u2019s constantly learning and the program\u2019s growing. He doesn\u2019t just do the same thing, even if it works, he changes it. You have to do that to stay up with the sport. To be around someone who\u2019s done this for 50 years and consistently been at the top, it\u2019s a tremendous resource.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
