Message: [QUOTE="southie, post: 4957119, member: 2527"] I mean, it's easier to appreciate this type of hire when it's not done by the school/program you root for. Does this compare to when South Carolina hired Dawn Staley from Temple? I forget Dawn's coaching history prior to SC hiring her. If similar, the main difference was the history of success between Tennessee and Sout Carolina. When Texas hired Karen Aston (after short stints at UNC-Charolotte and North Texas), Texas fans were definitely on the fence. She had been an assistant coach at Texas under Jody Contadt and revived recruiting enough to make a Final Four in 2023; she then left for Baylor for the same position. She definitely recruited well and reached an Elite 8 and couple of Sweet 16's, but she just couldn't maintain things as her x's and o's weren't evolving. [/QUOTE]
