Next man/woman up ! or should I say OUT !.....

[brnkj]

Actually, you are the most INCONSISTENT (fickle, even) poster on here.

You state over and over that you want a head coach who can beat Baylor, win conference championships, coach good offense, recruit elite talent, and advance far in the NCAA tournament.

Then, you lobby for head coaches like Raegan Pebley, Brandon Schneider, and Marlene Stallings even though they don't meet a single one of those criteria. LMAO

Nobody's lobbying for anyone... If I were it would be for Jeff, Vic, Muffett, or some other coach who is most likely not attainable. It's YOUR insecurities than shine brightly at the mention of coaches like Pebley. Again, an undeniable indicator that you know she's twice the coach KA will ever be. FOH

You lobbied for all 3 of those head coaches; i even quoted you yesterday. Just own it.

Nope, it’s rather smart when you’re an adult and can look at things realistically. I can sit here and throw temper tantrums all day like you and a couple others or look like a hypocrite like you and want to get rid of a coach because of 2 down years by HER standards but at the same time want to bring in a coach that’s been horrible for 5 plus years at another school. Make it make sense.

YOU are the LAST person who should ever bring up the word "HYPOCRITE" or talk about "TEMPER TANTRUMS". You teeter back and forth like a 4th grader on a see-saw, yes/no, no/yes, back and forth...over and over again, NEVER having the courage to steadfastly stand behind your comments or opinions while attacking anyone who disagrees with you. FYI, that's called WAFFLING..."speak or write, especially at great length, without saying anything important or useful"....."failure to make up one's mind".... Perhaps it's just indecision on your part, waiting patiently for Moooooo to give your marching orders for the day on what to think/what to say OR from insufficient blood supply to the brain from having your head so far up his/her ))).....

Whether Aston is retained or not, it won't change my life. Yes, I think it's time for a change...absolutely!!! However, that decision is out of my hands. I don't recall anyone specifically advocating for Raegan Pebley , but yes I for one do think she is a better coach than KA.....absolutely!!! In fact, I think most of the coaches in the Big XII are superior to her. Whatever CDC decides, none of us have a choice but to accept it. That certainly doesn't mean we have to like or agree with it. Now....run along and do your morning chores for Moooooo before you get put in timeout....

I like what I'm seeing from the coaching staffs at TCU and Tech... If we can't get a big name, we need someone who can do what they're doing.

You were saying?

Looks like someone is in their feelings because I have my own big, intelligent, brain. Give it up, it’s a wrap she’s going to be the coach and the amount of times you’ve regurgitated the nonsense about her being the coach not changing your life is obviously not true because it will.

ANYONE not named Holly Warlick could do a better job than Karen Aston with the rosters she's had the past few seasons. So I guess I'm lobbying for anyone not name Holly Warlick. Okay so be it. But if she stays, she stays... at least we know what NOT to expect from any team "coached" by her.

Oh and, BTW, you never said how you came by "thinking" Aston didn't want to continue being a head coach.

 

[Moooooo]

The only thing funnier than you having the nerve to ask me a direct question about where I get my information or form my conclusions is you following up with that same question a second time; guess you haven't figured out when you're being ignored . . .

 

[Moooooo]

For those who actually want to discuss our program and the future of our head coach, here is what I think:

- our program is not heading in the right direction under Coach Aston; she couldn't maintain what she built, and the last two seasons signal a downward trend.

- Karen's recent comments that she has not discussed her future as our head coach with CDC could just be "coach-speak"; what was she supposed to say when the reporter asked her direct questions about her future at Texas? Honestly, this type of discussion should have occurred months ago (which I believe it did)

- if CDC were planning to extend her contract, it doesn't take but a few minutes to issue an official statement out in social media that Karen will be the head coach next season (the world's health issues could delay that, but everyone's jobs still have to go on). Not going on record in the near future doesn't help anyone.

- if CDC were planning to extend her contract, anything less than a 4-year extension will not provide current players, recruits, and their families any sense of stability or belief that he is making a firm commitment to Karen's future at Texas. Even with the health concerns we are facing, a one or two-year contract extension accomplishes nothing for the program's long-term future.

- if CDC is planning to make a change, I believe the pool of candidates will have shrunk significantly (due to the health issues). There may be candidates who are now unwilling to uproot their families, or even move away from certain family members. Conversely, perhaps there are a couple of candidates who now want to move back to Texas to be closer to family

- if CDC is going to want to conduct in-person interviews and provide tours of the University to prospective candidates, that is delayed indefinitely; the search and hiring process will take significantly longer than one would expect due to the world's health issues

I agree with everything except for having a conversation about the future of the program. Why would that discussion have occurred months ago? And she just didn’t give some vague run of the meal coach speak like most coaches that already know they won’t be the coach. And if you look at the instagram post and comments from players like Joanne, Charlie, and Celeste they’re also expecting her to be back.

Because you don't wait until just months left before the contract is set to expire to "discuss" the future of your job. Most employees (in any industry) receive an annual job evaluation/appraisal. You hear ADs state all the time that they "evaluate" a coach after the specific head coach's sports season concludes. That means that CDC and Karen would have spoken about her job performance in March/April 2019. And, that means he would have laid out goals, objectives, and expectations for her 2019-20 season.

You have brought up soccer head coach Angela Kelly numerous times in this thread. As average to below-average as her results have been, not even she went into the last season of her contract without having received a contract extension.

This is what I'm clinging to at this point. For CDC to allow KA's contract status to languish right down to the end of the season would be simply bizarre and irresponsible if he had any intention of retaining her. As someone (perhaps it was you?) mentioned previously, this is crippling to a coach's recruiting efforts.

KA's comments in the article don't faze me. I've seen ADs go so far as to issue statements of support during the very season just weeks before they fire the coach. All KA says is "I anticipate being the coach of this team." Well, lots of coaches have said stuff like that in their final days as coach.

I don't claim to know what will happen. We'll just have to see. I'm also uncertain as to how covid-19 is impacting this:

Yes, you have stated this repeatedly. You've been heard.

Two points of view stick in my head:

- Aston remains the head coach at Texas until we are told she is not

- Aston has not received a contract extension to coach at Texas next season and beyond until we are told she has

This thread is simply amazing. 18 pages and going. Having lots of time now, went back and read all again to see if it made sense and could lead me to the meaning of life. Lots of folks and information and opinions good and bad and everything in between. I am confused. It’s all OVER the spectrum. It probably is too early to ask someone to summarize. Unless someone just HAS to tackle it. Or not. I estimate this thread to go to 32 pages. Then perhaps the TRUTH will emerge. Whatever that is. Keep going.

Early in the season this became the "we need a coaching change" thread, a topic which is clearly on the mind of any fan who hasn't completely gone apathetic.

Perhaps because I'm relatively new as a poster to this board, I really don't understand the personal bickering between certain posters, which has consumed a significant portion of this thread. Maybe that's par for the course on a fan board of a struggling team. I don't really know.

 

[FarawayFan]

It would be nice if we could stick to the topic instead of attacking each other - understand that we all have too much time on our hands right now, but . . . and I admit there are lots of disagreements about the possibility of a new coach. It's a very interesting topic to us all who love Texas women's basketball, but it's had to find the opinions and ideas for who would be a good new coach among all the abuse.

All you need to do is go back and see I've been here for a long time, and my opinion has remained consistent regarding Aston's ineptitude. Unlike yours, which has cowardly flipped back and forth like a fickle school girl.

The bottom line, however, is that the bickering back and forth is almost ALWAYS started by your great mentor attacking people and you following whatever lead your given from them. I don't take any ****... And believe me I would love the chance to hash it out face to face. I can't speak for Bobcat but apparently they feel the same.
