GwillMac6 20,666 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I was hoping with a new AD that a change would be made and we would make a hire that would be able to restore the rich and great tradition our program has. Wasn't she on the last year of her contract as well? I thought if they were going to retain her we would of heard some news on a new contract as well.

PigskinPat 2,579 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I’m curious as well. I like Coach Flo, but I’m afraid a change needs to be made sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either them coming out in support of her or letting her go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU9377 4,924 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 A new contract? She got a new contract last year. That is the main reason that she will return for another season. While it is true that she has the best recruiting class she has ever had coming in, we haven't seen anything to suggest that the style of play this staff coaches can actually be competitive in the SEC. There are great candidates around the country that would love the opportunity to lead this program. Unfortunately, we seem to be stuck in status quo for the time being.

That new contract might no be too much of a hindrance if Greene wants to make a change. I'm thinking that with the tournament still under way, there might be someone out there who could be interested and only recently free to talk. We are just too far behind the mainstream of our conference and for me at least, I have seen nothing to make me believe that better things are ahead with her as coach. I'm still of the opinion that this was her last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,397 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 we could just about fire every head coach auburn has and not add up to our football coach buyouts (hyperbole much?). contracts are just a dollar figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about right...Bruce makes a real salary but the other HC salaries are more in line with what assistant football coaches get paid....law of supply and demand...

While its true that some assistant football coaches make what she makes salary wise, Auburn isn't about to pay her $650,000 and staff salaries next year to not coach. Auburn pays her very well. She is getting top tier SEC pay for bottom tier performance. We should have made a change last year, but that is water under the bridge at this point. She has two 5 stars signed. I'm in agreement that things aren't likely to get better, but I just don't see them making a move this year with that kind of money on the line.

You are probably right but money should not be the deciding factor. Team is doing poorly and attendance has been awful. A winning coach could pay her own way.JMO.

They are just dollar figures, until you are broke. I don't disagree with your sentiment, but to play devil's advocate, football brings in approx $75 million to the athletic department every year. Women's basketball loses around $3 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering too....some time ago I was looking at the list of best female HS basketball players in the state and about everyone one of them was going out of state to play.. We don't get much in the way of facts about women's sports and I understand she had a good class last year....but having watched them play some games I'm more concerned about the quality of play and coaching than I was about talent. No doubt there are some good frosh this year but the Jones sisters for example never advanced much after 4 years under her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,576 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I think it was last year that Coach Flo signed a 5* player from the Midwest. Kid came for a few weeks and left. That could have been two seasons past. Let's hope this year's class doesn't do the same. In any case, I've been ready for a change for some time now.

According to hoopgurlz, we have two 5* guards signed, both from Georgia. This needs to be taken with a grain of salt. They have 96 5* players listed, which is a very, very excessive number compared to what we are accustomed to seeing in other sports. Our two are # 17 and 41. http://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/rankings/_/class/2018 To our normal way of thinking, one of these is probably a solid 4* and the other a high 3*.

penguin149 391 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 We need somebody like McCowan (sp?) at MissState. That girl dominates the boards. She missed a shot that likely would have won the NC game against ND but still she was a force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the question is why don't we train them to jump? Some do jump. I never understood that some of these tall women couldn't dunk. Is it a matter of not training to jump or the fact that there is such a difference. I don't believe it would be a physical thing but more of a training thing.
