Coach, I hear what you’re saying but dude... phrasing...

[Irish27]

Was thinking this morning, if Candrea decides to step down and they decide to hire within (former player), here is my top-4:
1)Stacy Iveson- this is of course if she still wants to coach. She has the most experience and won championships at Pima and Yavapai.
2)Kristie Fox-she was named Mountain West Coach of the Year this season.
3)Caitlan Lowe-she has been with Candrea as a coach for 9 seasons. I think whoever takes over will probably be a former offensive player, which is why I have her over Taryne.
4)Taryne Mowatt-in my opinion she would be the long shot of this group.

I’m guessing Coach has a pretty good idea himself who would be the best fit. If he’s had enough of coaching and wants to retire, I wish him well. Although I always wonder what recruits who signed up to play for a legend think about him stepping away.

I honestly think he’s too excited about his freshmen to walk away yet.

Never, ever discount the probability that Robbins will hire exactly the person that Robbins wants, even if it makes absolutely no sense. Candrea’s opinion will be meaningless, much like Tomey’s endorsement of Ken N from Navy was meaningless.

In a perfect world, Candrea sticks around at least one more year to ride past when Robbins’ contract runs out and hopefully isn’t renewed.

I believe Candrea has one more year on his contract, so maybe (hopefully!) he lets it play out, even if it’s just one more year.

Listening to him talk about Carlie, and Giulia, and Janelle, and Ally, and the rest of the girls waiting patiently behind the super seniors, I have a hard time imagining him walking away. Especially when you hear him say how much he missed the practices, the planning, and everything else last year. He got a taste due to COVID and he’s said he hated the nothingness of last year. So, fingers crossed, he’s not done.

I wonder how much it would cost to rent a a plane to fly over Oklahoma City pulling a sign reading “Please stay Coach until we can figure out a way to remove Robbins & Heeke”

I don't want to have to post: The Cats had a great softball coach, and then the UofA President got involved.

Pretty amazing just how much he's changed the game.

36(?) years in the state retirement system is very tempting to retire.

I cannot, to save my life, post a tweet properly, But the U of A just announced Coach Candrea’s retirement. I’m pretty sad, and extremely nervous that the next coach is coming out of Robbins’ File of former patients.
