2026 Coaching Hires (the crazy season)

Well the Ole Miss football coach from last year was rumored to be the new head coach at about 4 different schools, so I'm hardly impressed that Curry is only taking on 2 jobs next season.

Whoa now......don't be comparing Curry to Kiffin. That just doesn't seem fair when you look at the history of these two. 😉
 
Curry's move is weird to me and going to USF even weirder. It's a great area to be in and a decent school but far from the level of SEC. Maybe she's looking for less stress and expectations in the final years of coaching.

Bama is just smack in the middle of a tough conference.

I saw a report yesterday that Alabama spent $6 million on women's basketball this past season which was last in the SEC. For comparison, most other SEC programs spent between $8 and $13 million. Based on other rumors (conflicts with the AD), I think this transition may have more to do with Alabama not valuing women's sports more than anything else.

If she's a draw as a coach, then maybe go to a league where there's a better chance at success. Yes, UA made the tourney, however maybe the night in and out of SEC battles is wearing thin? Or maybe she likes FL better. Tampa is not a bad place to be.

Yes, I saw that, too.
Curry has produced five straight 20+ win seasons and been given bottom of the barrel support. She gets the Tide to the NCAAs and two of her recent players are in the W.

OK, table didn't want to increase the purse, so she went off to another one to ply her craft. Good for her.

From my salary data, Curry was the lowest paid coach in the SEC ($650K) depending on what Tammi Reese is getting at Florida. So the school intially paid her to come from the Big 10 years ago, it has not kept up the "maintenance" required to really compete.

As you say, good for her....

And USF is willing to invest much more than Alabama. Money talks.

Wow! That’s a lot for a school that’s not been a top program for a long time. That SEC money ain’t no joke.

Well, it depends what school in the SEC is dealing it and to what team.
Alabama, who you think would be drowning in donor cash, didn't see fit to give their coach -- the one with five 20+ win seasons in a row -- enough to keep her from leaving the Crimson Tide and the SEC to go to USF. Speaks volumes. Enjoy the Gulf, Coach Curry.

Moving from the backwoods of Alabama to Tampa. Sounds like a upgrade

Curry hasn't coached in the Big 10 since 2006. She left for Texas Tech and coached there until 2013.
