Is there a recent alum you'd consider as a head coach at your school...
- Thread starter Maroon Eagle
- Start date
Well damn, this is an impressive resume. Im guessing she 'gets it' and isnt just talented in the sport, but also has a handle on the more nuanced parts of the game.
- It has to be difficult to coach your former teammates at that age(or any age).
- Handing the keys over to someone with 0 experience when its a program that is this accomplished is really impressive.
If Renardo Sidney had coached us during the 12-13 season, I bet we wouldnt have done any worse than we did under Rick Ray. <--thats more a comment on how terrible Ray wasversus how great Sidney would have been.

Coaching and playing are different skill sets. They had better be careful. There are certainly advantages, such as knowing the team and maybe recruiting.
One that sticks out to me, for MSU, would be Jake Mangum.

That would never happen at a sport that more than a few hundred people care about. It’s easy to hire a 22-year old recent graduate when it’s field hockey. Different for basketball or baseball, where there is some national exposure.
Very sport specific. Football, it would never happen. The craziest scenario I could imagine is a QB that wasn't physically talented but ate up film sessions and was so smart that the coach actually asked for input and help reviewing game film when they were an upper classman. I could believe a person like that being offered a co-offensive coordinator position/QB coach position after their RS senior year. That's never happened as far as I know, unless it was at a school/division so small enough to go unnoticed, so as a practical matter that's probably just as far fetched as a graduate landing a head coaching job period, but I could at least fathom it happening and wouldn't immediately think it's ridiculous.
Baseball I can see a graduate immediately being the 4th baseball coach? Probably less likely now that it's a paid position.
I don't see it in Basketball. Maybe a big time charismatic guy could be hired as an assistant if they thought he'd immediately be a force in recruiting? I think the way the money game operates there that's unlikely.
If the alum looks like that, she definitely gets a hard look.
Success playing sports doesn’t remotely qualify someone to coach.
not saying you are saying that but it means nothing on the resume.
im assuming she showed ability to coach and lead while she was playing.
only time will tell if she was a great, good or bad hire.
Who is Billy bringing as recruiting coordinator?
What’s the typical career path like for a women’s field hockey coach?
Baseball - Jake Mangum, but not as HC to start.
The real problem with the “money sports” is that anyone who’s talented enough to build a playing resume like hers is going to be a high draft pro pick and will obviously go that route.
Could you imagine a 4x OPY that’s also a 4x National Champion in football? It’ll NEVER happen (for obvious reasons).

She’d wear your asss out on a field hockey field and it wouldn’t be as fun as you think it would…!
Got no idea what field hockey is, but I can think of other lessons I'd take from her.
You wouldn’t stand a chance in those either…

Thanks for not saying I was saying that while Making it seem like I was saying that.**
When I said that she probably 'gets it' and can handle the more nuanced parts of the game, that referred to all the things beyond what a talented player typically does.
Worked out ok for Tennessee many years ago. All 22yr olds are not the same, there are outliers.
I know what you're thinking. And the answer is yes. I will accept the position of head coach for our field hockey and table tennis teams.
Austin Williams is only 3 months younger than CZA. Just sayin...
That might work at UNC, but I would have serious concerns if the MSU athletic department was starting the trend and making the habit of appointing leadership that had little or no coaching experience.
I'll even take it a step further: I'd have very serious concerns about the MSU administarion if it ever attempted such an experiment.
