Breaking news: RV does the right thing and buys out a failing coach

GMG.com reaction: Hang RV! He ruh-heally f'd it up this time!

Not how I read it. More like shock followed by realization that RV is now looking to make another hire in the "big" 3 sports.

torn because there should have been 2-3 parting agreements, but I guess one is enough for now, but now we have to deal with another major hire by RV.

Mitchell would be nice but RV does not hire UNT Alum to coach.

Breaking news: RV does the right thing and buys out a failing coach

GMG.com reaction: Hang RV! He ruh-heally f'd it up this time!

When your AD signs a women's basketball coach to a 5-year contract at about $200K a year, more than UTSA's men's coach who beat us twice this year, and that coach goes 28-61 and fails to make your own conference tournament, and you're forced to buy out two years of that contract when your university is in a tough spot financially, what university would the AD not get backlash for a transpiring like that?

Or does he hire an alum?

If he does great, but hopefully this time judging coaching ability works out, scary that I long for the days of Slinker .500 record and one or two WNITs

The concern is RV is hiring the next coach...

That's easy.

Next to JJ, Aston was RV's best hire on that list of Billy's, considering taking a 4-20 something disaster of a team team and missing going 16-15 by one point is miraculous. Now whether RV actually went to find her or she found him is another story. But still, RV hired her and gets credit for that hire.

I'll say it again, if Donna Capps isnt interested any more it's time for youth from a lower level/Division.

I know you liked her, but she was one game under .500 in her very brief UNT career.

I always love it when a coach needs to be replaced. Suddenly everyone becomes an arm-chair AD and has their own short list of people that make the best hire.

Should be a fun couple weeks.

We don't need to wait until there is a coach search to be armchair ADs.

No doubt. There is a new football schedule out every year, after all...

So not an ounce of respect for Aston the basketball coach from you? One point away from taking someone else's 4-24 team to 16-15? One point?

And by the way, they lost yesterday to Baylor in the Big 12 Championsjip game. It was the first time in over ten years Texas had been to their tourney championship game, in only her third season there.
