Is it too much of a reach for her?
No hire is going to make you happy unless it's bringing Mulkey back so your point is moot.PartyBear said:
I dont think our program is such that we need to be rolling the dice at all.

So true...top 5 job...great attendance...financial support. This thought on...let's get an up and comer seems so ridiculous.PartyBear said:

look her up, she isnt a roll of the dice... she dominated in Div 2 where there is alot more equality among the players talent. She can coach...PartyBear said:

Re-invent Mulkey with Molly.
Some of these other names are very "meh."
I agree, MR isn't going to consider her. However, I'd bet the house that her name has come up. He wouldn't be doing his due diligence if it hasn't.DanaDane said:

Not sure if this means anything but Molly is following our President on Twitter

I get following the coaches and the team but BU's president seems odd unless something is going on.Texasjeremy said:She is also following Kim Mulkey, Scott Drew, & Baylor Lady Bears official account.BearFan33 said:I wonder when she added LLgobears20 said:

Not looking for safe! Looking for longterm upswing. Let's get her !
To be fair, I don't believe any of the other alleged candidates are following them.BearFan33 said:I get following the coaches and the team but BU's president seems odd unless something is going on.Texasjeremy said:She is also following Kim Mulkey, Scott Drew, & Baylor Lady Bears official account.BearFan33 said:I wonder when she added LLgobears20 said:

Just from what I have read, it is certainly possible that she could become the next Mulkey. However if she was to be hired there is one question, IMO, that would have to be answered in the positive in order to prevent a monumental setback to the program. Could she keep the current team? In other words, would the current players trust what is left of their careers to someone who has no real D1 experience? And sure, she might have some players transfer with her, but low D1 or D2 players are such for a reason. They would nowhere be even Big XII ready, much less even top 25 ready.
People here have done research on her. The general public has not. I suspect that most high school recruits have never heard of her, as well. And as such, could just write her and Baylor off out of hand if she has to start here with a depleted roster, a bunch of picked over players out of the transfer portal, and ends up with a poor record next season.
She may well be a great coach in a few years somewhere, but it is a gamble to say the least. Now, on the other hand getting an established coach can also risk landing in the Goestenkors situation that Texas suffered. Obviously no guarantees regardless of which direction you go. But I believe regardless of who you get, if the current team doesn't buy in and stay pretty much intact, we are going to see a setback of at least 3 years, if not longer.
While even getting an established coach, some or many of our players still might transfer, but the established coach at least has a track record for pulling in recruits or transfers. A new D1 coach does not have that track record and losing the ones we already have could be too deep a hole from which to dig out of in a reasonable time frame.
I don't think you can go ask players to OK your hire before you make it, but you better somehow have a good idea of how they will react.
