UNT announced this afternoon that it has hired Tracey Kee as its new softball coach.

Kee posted a 684-362 record at ECU and took her team to the NCAA tournament four times, including three times in her last five seasons. She won back-to-back C-USA titles in 2010 and 2011.

Kee and associate head coach Natalie Kozlowski were fired after last season following an internal investigation revealed an emotionally hostile environment in the program, identified potential NCAA violations and noted shortcomings related to oversight of property and fiscal matters.

athletically this sure seems a great hire.... but I sure hope that RV had the office do very due dilligence on this one and not just the normal stuff. The language in the reason for firing seems very criptic and could really mean a lot of different things from not so bad to very bad.

Considering RV stated that performed their due diligence including talking to the conference office. That and the comment from Coach Kee about them not being able to speak or defend themselves during the process makes me comfortable with this hire. I hope it doesn't blow up on us. Pro's, she has been extremely successful and has extensive experience as a head coach. Con's, does she know the DFW area to recruit and how she was dismissed from ECU. Only time will tell.

Until then, welcome to North Texas Coach Kee.

Welcome to the Mean Green Nation Coach Kee!

Hey Coach...saw you at he Athletic offices on the day of your interview. I liked that green you were wearing. Made an impression too...seemed to be like a natural for you. Glad you will be wearing hat green more often now!

If she can hire an assistant who knows the talent in the state and can recruit this should be a very good hire. With an ATWP of more than 65% over 25 years, I have no doubt about her ability to put a winner on the field. Players like winning and her record should help recruiting. There should be a lot of good years to look forward to here.

Oh boy... How do we go from hiring coaches with little-to-no previous baggage to hiring coaches with significant previous baggage?

Not every coach is righteous as a pastor

But with some of these folks we go after...

I just hope and I pray

We don't lose Cloutier...

Or the dance team may hire this bastard.

      Is Chandler Morris healthy?

      Have we thought that maybe he is just not that good against average to above average teams? Threw a pick to end our chances against Memphis. Threw two picks that cost us the Army game. And threw two picks that cost us the UTSA game. There is a reason it didn't work out for him at okla and TCU. Hopefully we can beat the two inferior teams we have left on our schedule.

      Back to the Frisco Bowl Again🤮🤮

      I know the second half of this year has been really disappointing but dang- we shouldn’t hope for losing to avoid a bowel game. Before the start of the season everyone would’ve been happy with more W’s. It shows improvement. It shows we’re building something and gives the coaches evidence for when they talk to recruits. Win out and win whatever bowl game, 8-5 might convince some transfers/recruits that could really help turn this team into something next year.

      Dude isn’t going to have an arm after this season. I swear I’ve seen him come off the field like 3 separate times holding it like it’s broken.

      Pretty much what the two comments above are saying: It’s a strong possibility that he’s got a case of hero ball. “I need to play amazing for us to win” mentality. Mistakes avalanche and instead of relaxing, you tighten up and are harder on yourself. Obviously that’s total conjecture based on my personal experience in sports. We all know he’s great and wants to win. Could totally be a nagging injury too, who knows. Hope he sticks around for another season with an experienced OL and a more consistent D. That’d be a treat to watch.

      Porter scheduled to start? Did I just imagine him leaving both the Army and UTSA games holding his shoulder?
