Message: [QUOTE="militarydog, post: 3505808, member: 9841"] Obviously there is no easy way to do this. Although in the world we live it was bound to leak Coach Schaefer was going hurt the players feelings no matter when he told them. As it stands now unless I was told wrong he was contacted last week, took the job this weekend, told his players this morning via conference call, and the announcement made via social media this afternoon. The good news is that Coach Schaefer built MSU into a top tier program with the talent returning that can contend for the SEC title and a potential Final Four in the next couple of seasons. MSU supports their women’s team and pumps money into it. However the next hire is key. I was going to say that Tennessee is the only women’s basketball is the program in the SEC where the program is bigger than the coach. However looking back Coach Summit was just there so long and had such consistent national success. Since she left they have fallen back into the pack and the name on the front of the jersey doesn’t invoke the fear it once did. I’ll be interested to see the direction they take. [/QUOTE]
