Coach Collins has been relieved of her position. I wish her the best. She has been a credit both to the university and to herself.

Up is really unhappy! I think this is the straw that broke the camel’s back!

Let’s see how long it takes Vowels to fill this position. His track record in these situations is quite slow.

Maybe we can walk it back and beg Autumn Rademacher to come back!

I admit that I don't know everything that is going on behind the scenes and all of the dynamics at play, but releasing Collins looks like a bad move to me. She didn't make a mark in the win/loss column, but she held the team together, got them to play hard, and added recruits in what must have been a very difficult recruiting environment. I'm not saying she did a great job this season, but I would say she more than earned her chance for the regular gig.
This also isn't a Mondro situation, where some wanted to give the job to Kevin after Watson took a leave of absence. Coach Collins is very experienced. She has been a head coach in high school, on the small college level, and on the JUCO level, She has been an assistant with several D1 programs. She has a track record of success. I don't expect the University to be able to attract a coach better suited to turn this Titan team around.

For those who care -
As of Monday at 12 noon: The new coach has been selected and the terms of a contract have been agreed upon between the coach's agent and the university. The matter was at the university's central HR office. Contract documents were in the process of being drafted for signatures and the press release was being drafted. This is a process that at a private business would take a short time. At the university, who knows. I do not know the identity of the new coach. I am praying that this time, we finally got it right and there is an announcement soon.

Waiting did a lot of damage in the past so maybe this new Coach will have a fighting chance. I am anxious to hear who it is.

Can anyone comment about the status of the current roster (as in, are players leaving?) and the current recruiting (as in, are the already announced recruits still coming)?

I have not heard anything on the recruiting or roster retention issues. One recruit did sign her letter of intent. There are a lot of grad transfers on the roster; so there could be 6 or more new players this year. Most coaches like to start a rebuild with the chance to bring in some players that they evaluate to fit their style of play. Once the announcement is made, we should a lot of answers rapidly.
