If you're going to start getting rid of minor sports coaches....why not start with DD Breaux in gymastics. She's been here 30 years and has one 1 SEC Championship which was in about 1980. I wish we would expect excellence in all aports. You look at a school like Florida...they are competitive in every single sport and their AD is not afraid to get rid of coaches who are not producing (i.e. Carolyn Peck). They had a down year in women's basketball, but their tennis team, softball, track and field, swimming and diving, golf both men and women always compete for NCs.

Has more to do with the talent available locally to them than their coaches.

why get rid of a coach who has been in the top ten for most of her career?

you really think we can hire a better coach who has already built a better legacy in some of these minor sports such as softball or gymnastics.

We hired an AD from a school that only cared about 1 sport, and keeping their other teams from having criminal charges filed. Lower your expectations. Hey he just canned the swimming and diving coach, maybe he's turning the corner!
