Any news on a new coach?
Our top targets have turned us down
How many have turned us down?
But but butā¦we are a good job!
The last couple of weeks I have been sitting on a hiring committee searching for a faculty member in a fairly lucrative field. Thereās been two primary discussions: 1) which candidates do we like, and 2) which ones are willing to accept what weāre offering. Iām sure the same is true here.

For reference:
We were paying Devos $62,000 her last season.
Chastain was making $126,000 here before she left.

If the announced head coach isnāt Taylor Wike, it means she turned us down. I guarantee she was our first choice. Plus it has been 11 days since Chastain left. Do you think it would have taken this long if we had hit our top choice? Itās completely fine that we swung high at a couple and missed but weāre not getting our first choice.
Do YOU know this for a fact about Wike? And about getting our first choice? I seriously doubt it.
Right or wrong stating assumptions as facts is a dangerous game. There are a lot of moving parts with a D1 coaching hire especially with donors having input. There is also a lot going on with the SB program with facilities and future growth. Sometimes it takes a little longer to convey your complete vision to the people you want to see it.
On the other hand its a message board so do your thing.

If we get someone who can make us competitive again in a reasonable time frame,
I donāt care if that person is our first choice or our last choice.

Wasnāt the best timing either with Chastainās resignation coming at the same time as the annual NACDA convention was being held, so would think Hill wasnāt able to give this his full attention until he had returned from Las Vegas.

Gamecock to a Tiger, I like it
I think itās a good hire. As Clemsonās recruiting coordinator sheās going to be familiar with the area and a lot of the roster.

Seems like a decent hire but feel for her as she has a lot of work to do in such a short time. I donāt think she is going be one that brings players with her so recruiting will be interesting. Wishing her the best!

Just now seeing that Breault part of the first coaching staff for the Tigers. Didnāt realize CU didnāt sponsor softball until 2020.
Good news is she has experience building a team from scratch. I am hopeful she can re-build our squad quickly.

Isnāt that wild? And they pretty much climbed straight up the ladder.
Yep, reminds me of what Gene Bartow did at UAB with menās basketball.
