Last I heard a potential coach was still coaching in the tournament. That was early last week
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.
Jenelle Breneman - UNCG?
Ashley Chastain - UNC Charlotte?
Ashley Chastain - UNC Charlotte?
Heard UNCG coach "likely" to UNC.
FWIW UNC is also looking at south carolinas coach too. She is a UNC alum, so could be an option. IF the UNCG coach is pretty solid, could be good for us if UNC doesn't poach her.chippertorry said:

Duke AC/HC ?
UNCG Coach hasn't shown much interest in our job the last two times.
She is very good.
UNCG wins and wins a lot. Look at their recent success in the Socon
Reminds me a little of Wes Moore and his time at UTC

Heard another rumor about UNCC staff but will see.
Oh boy
So we hired a LSU AC hm
She looks qualified to my slow pitch softball eyes lol

A couple of the players both current and former seem to think this is a great hire

Broussard vouch for her?
That's exactly what I thought it meant.I40Wolf said:ncsuchris said:Glasswolf said:

smh
Go Pack
As I said, the only thing that matters is the players are very excited about the hire. What I think or anyone else thinks is useless as far as the program in concerned

NC State’s new softball head coach: https://t.co/zCoTBGSOLh

After last disaster of a hire, what player wouldn't be excited about anyone else with a brain wave? So that's certainly necessary bit not sufficient in evaluating a hire. Was it softball or volleyball that we hired the assistant from Arizona couple of hires back?
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.
What's going on this thread, why are people in their feels? Are there some missing posts I didn't see?

But given the precarious state of the Department 's finances, about the best we can do...

Can you clarify what you mean by the "precarious department financials"? Legitimately curious if you have insight.
Look at how difficult it has been to raise money for Doak improvements. My point is, there isn't a lot of cash sitting around for a sport like softball. We are DFL among all public universities in ACC in athletics fundraising last time I looked (neck and neck with Georgia Tech)PKAwolfpacker said:

Best of luck and wish the best. I'll be honest though I don't know much about softball.
Reading her bio on GoPack tells ne that Boo went out and got a really good head coach.

NC State is in a decent spot, facility-wise, in softball. It can flip quickly, as Duke did from the ground up over the past few years. If the Wolfpack gets someone who can lead and recruit, they can be a program that reaches the postseason almost annually and makes a deep run every so often.89_Grad said:Look at how difficult it has been to raise money for Doak improvements.

If comparing to SEC, Oklahoma, Oregon, UCLA, and the like, then NC State has a ways to go -- but most other schools do too.

I certainly agree with you that we should be doing better than last year's record. Been more or less downhill since Shawn Rychik's first season... They shouldn't have gotten rid of Lisa Navas

Shawn Rychick's third season, then it fell apart. In 2015, NC State hit a walk-off homer to win the program's first regional. I was there.89_Grad said:Rob McLamb said:NC State is in a decent spot, facility-wise, in softball. It can flip quickly, as Duke did from the ground up over the past few years.

What do you think was the problem with rychick? We know Patrick Swift was a total disaster, but I don't recall a team this bad under either him or Lisa Navas...

He didn't recruit well enough. He could coach with the best of them but did not adequately replace the Navas players he inherited, who were extremely good.89_Grad said:Rob McLamb said:Shawn Rychick's third season, then it fell apart.

Zero ties to NC with her resume.
As someone that has coached Travel Softball in North Carolina for several years and currently has a 2026 softball player, I can tell you that NC State is "not relevant" in the softball world. Needed to hire someone with NC ties IMO,
Perhaps they tried and got Plan F. I hope she does great and wins BIG .
Just adding my .02
