Aston to UTSA

[meanJewGreen]

 She wins everywhere she goes. 

[GrandGreen]

Great hire for UTSA and bad news for NT and the rest of the conference.  Look for UTSA to dominate after a couple of years. 

[Marty]

Good hire for them.

[UNTLifer]

I can't stress enough how much I want Jalie to succeed here, but if she can't get our program squared away, I would welcome Aston back in a heartbeat.

I think slowly but surely she's on the right track. Would've honestly loved to see her in an assistant's role last year for us.

She will be there until a big program comes knocking.

[meangreen11]

She’s a winner.  Ask Jalie as she knows this as well as anyone.  Great hire.

Like UT

Doubt it will be UT but someone like that

Lol UT just paid big bucks to hire the coach from Miss State. I am surprised Tech went in-house instead of hiring Aston.

You do realize she was fired from UT just last year.

Yeah, if Jalie doesn’t work out, and Aston wants to challenge herself by getting back into D1 coaching she’d accept an offer from us

Yeah that is why I said I doubt.

Yep. Tech  had an opening the same time.

Mccasland may be somewhat close, but I’ve never seen a coach at NT that hates losing as much as Karen Aston. In any sport. I think Mitchell has things headed in the right direction, and we need to be supporting her (a fellow alum) and her team as much as we can. With that said if the NT job happened to be open because Jalie moved on or otherwise, Aston would be my first call. 
 

She wasn’t even unsuccessful at Texas. 93-51 record in Big 12 play. 

[untbowler]

big hire by UTSA, should put Mitchell on notice, still did not agree with contract extension in middle of season as the record then tanked late in the season.

[greenjoe]

93-51 and Texas cut her loose.  At North Texas, a record like that would get a building named for her.  At Texas, you get a pink slip.

 I recall she took the North Texas job to be closer to her mother.  Then to Austin and now to SA.  Maybe her mom moved.  
 

Great hire for UTSA

Wow that’s impressive.  And yet they still fired her?  

[outoftown]

I don't like this. because it is likely to be a great hire for UTSA.

She went to UT because she stated it was her dream job.

I remember because Jones and her left about the same time.  Both with the same reason for leaving.  Could not blame either one, offers to coach at UT and LSU don't come often to NT head coaches.

about a 20 minute shorter drive from Weatherford.

Good riddance! Gary Blair at Texas A&M (former SOC Bear) is 75. She is at UTSA until he calls in quits. Maybe next year.

Jones had been here 11 years. He earned the right to cut out
