AUSTIN, Texas — University of Texas at Austin regents have scheduled a special meeting to authorize hiring a women’s basketball coach.

The meeting on Monday will come less than a week after North Texas coach Karen Aston visited Austin to discuss the opening with Texas officials, including President William Powers. She is believed to be the only coach brought in for an interview.

If this happens, then congrats to Karen. I was really hoping she would have five years or so to really lay down a foundation before leaving. However, it's a great opportunity to find another quality coach who can continue the upward trend.

It'll really stink for the girls on the team having to learn a third system in three years.

I don't blame her at all for wanting to leave after the way this athletic department and our alumni association treated her.

Rick

What about the way some of our middle aged male alumni practically stalked her with private messages?

i think its a combo effect, i think she was upset if the fact that even after the hot start...we averaged about 100 people per women's game (blame this on who ever u like, im not going there) and the fact that this is the job she has always wanted....if someone offered you your dream job, with a raise in salary, how many would turn this down. It really sucks for us becuase i thought we would make some noise in the belt, but its understandable for her to leave. Just my 2 cents...

I guess the Athletic Department shouldn't open the Mean Green Room after half time of the women's game when there are double headers scheduled either.

:notfair:

Guys this has nothing to do with our support or lack thereof. The Texas job is one of the most prestigious in the country...period end of story.

Rick, could you please clairfy you comments regarding her treatment at North Texas? we paid $100,000 to buy her out of her existing contract and to my knowledge gave her what she needed to be successful. she will get about $1million annual raise at UT, is an excellent coach, and while i hate to see her go i wish her nothing but the best.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.
