Congrats to Juli. Hope she continues the great career she has had so far.

Looks like 70PPG vs 50ppg for opponents from that video linked.  Good margin.  Means she sets the pace and mires their opponents in mud with turnovers and rebounding.

I like the choice. I am beginning to think Christian Spears  the only one in a  leadership role at Marshall who has any capability. Can't imagine he will hang around much longer.

A couple of observations.

Spears acted quickly with the hire. Kim was hired by UT on April 7 and in less than a week, he hired a new coach.

We hired a Division 3 coach for football, Stan Parish, who turned out to be a good coach. He was 42-3-1 at Wabash and then was at Purdue for one year before coming to Marshall.

I am not picking on Skidude, but hopefully he was partially correct with the below post.
"UK fired their women's coach today - per a couple of well connected UK alum friends of mine - Kim Caldwell is one of 2 names already being mentioned for the position.  The other is the coach at Transylvania."

Like others said, if you can coach you can at any level. Jack Cook was a great coach at Cammack JR High and at HHS (he won a state baseball championship at HHS) and he was a great coach at Marshall.


One thing I like about the hire is that she has head coaching experience, nothing beats having experience of being in charge of a program. At least you know she can win.

Cammack Blue Streaks kick starts others coaching careers as well to D1 success.  Nice to hear about Cook starting there.  Go Blue Streaks!!

Spears seem to be hiring good coaches. We should know how a couple of his newer picks will turn out in a few seasons. The changeover in MB was very strange. One would have to wonder who Spears would have hired if he could have made the decision? That said, I hope Corny turns out to be successful.

Agree we have ourselves a highly competent AD if people will stay out of his way.My fear is he will leave at the first good offer, he and DD were at odds and that cannot be a good position to be in.

And regarding the Coach Jackson situation...
The coach-in-waiting situation likely tied his hands. Even if it was only a handshake deal, Smith (and maybe Spears) realizes that not following through with agreements can damage the institution beyond the athletic dept.

Corny's relatively low compensation package doesn't hurt either.

Like I said before. It's all up to CJ now. He may be great and climb the coaching ranks to stardom. Or this may be the last D1 job he ever gets. I just hope he does it his way so he doesn't have any regrets. Don't be influenced because Danny is still in the background. Recruit who you want and coach the way you want.
