Hmm...wondering if she got the assistant job or if she will be focused on recruiting like her job at LSU.
She was an assistant for one year under Megan Duffy at Miami (OH) before going to LSU. Wasn't sure what the story was around her departure from there was. But you would certainly think Muffet reached out to Megan before hiring Mike.
I like the addition because she is someone that can relate to the younger generation like Ivey did. She also has that combination of positivity and willingness to challenge people that Niele does.

Now official:
Hmm. A paper door sign? Can't ND dig into their gold stash and get a proper sign?
That's just the temporary sign. The permanent one is being fashioned as we speak in a third world sweatshop -- but don't worry, Muffet has made sure it's an all-female workforce.Hmm. A paper door sign? Can't ND dig into their gold stash and get a proper sign?

Translation: The moment she had a vacancy on her staff, the Notre Dame legal people gave her a stern talking-to.Not so fast. She didn't really mean what she said last spring.
Men considered
Asked if she considered any men for her latest coaching hire, McGraw indicated that she did.
She also said a declaration to the contrary on the subject that was attributed to her last March was “a little bit out of context.”
“We talked to a few men, did some interviews on the phone, looked at what the resumes were like coming in, and looked around the country without even looking at resumes, just to see who’s out there that really would be good for us,” McGraw said. “It came down to an easy decision because it was Michaela, but we definitely were looking at guys, too.”
McGraw drew mostly wide praise and a social media buzz at the Final Four last April when she weighed in passionately on the discrepancies in male/female employment practices around the nation, both in and out of sports.
A week earlier, though, she also drew some criticism amid the praise when she indicated in a ThinkProgress.org story that she would never hire another man as an assistant coach given hiring habits elsewhere around the country.
“That statement I think came a little bit out of context,” McGraw said Monday. “I was talking about how our female staff was working together and how well we worked together and how much I enjoyed it, and it was sort of an off-hand remark that got taken a little bit too far. I’ve had so many great guys on my staff, and we still have some guys around us in our program, so we were completely open (in who was considered).”

Probably right. Also, maybe McGuff and Tsipis were a little perplexed.
