Texas' recent hire of a mid-major head coach did not work out, and that's with her having come with familiarity with UT and recruiting ties within the state. New athletic director, Chris Del Conte, has made two new head coaching hires in his 2 year tenure at Texas. In June 2018, he hired Oregon's Mike White to lead the softball program, and Kentucky's Edrick Floreal to lead the men's and women's Track & Field / Cross Country programs. Those two coaches were hired away from Power 5 conference schools. So, if you want to use a precedent for his hiring strategy while at Texas, that's what it's been so far. [/QUOTE]
