I too would hope it would be cleaning out staff and hiring your own support group and assistants. That would be really bad to tell those women they are no longer on the team nor have their scholarships just because it is a new coach.

Any news on where A&M is at on hiring, interviewing, etc?
This is progressing at a snail's pace...
Yep, it sure is moving slow. Meanwhile, Wake Forest and LSU have already backfilled. Might we be negotiating hard?
If I was Andrea Gaston and I was the leading candidate and just got named Coach of the Year, there would be negotiations to make it worth my while to move away from a team that was close to winning a national championship.
Any idea on who the backup plan is?

No idea. It would just be pure speculation on my part.
They may already have someone lined up but as a state institution, you cannot do these kinds of hires over night. State law requires advertising for the position, responding to all applicants, interviews, and making sure you have the new coaches gender pronoun correct.aggiefan1988 said:

I understand we are negotiating and the targeted coach is sitting on the offer...

The Washington connection perhaps?
Mary Lou Mulflur? Think we could pull her from her alma mater?
No, but the right conference.
So if all roads lead to Andrea Gaston, can A&M make her an offer she can't refuse? (Other than lower taxes..)
Maybe she will hire Derek Radley as her assistant coach and begin an SEC dynasty.

As I understand it, we have made her an offer she can't refuse...However, the challenge is that in her current job she is right in the hotbed of recruiting and only wants to work 5 more years...Looks like Radley will be elevated at AZ to something like a co-head coach position. He will not leave for an assistant position.
Not sure why she would leave USC given the success of that program and her health issues. Perhaps she comes here and grooms an HC replacement to take over after five years.
I agree. 5 more years would make her retirement better from USC than starting over at TAMU. The position was finally posted on the TAMU Employment Site for whatever that means.Bobaloo said:

It most likely means they have reached an "unofficial" agreement with someone.

Fight On...
Deal is done.
Do you know or are you guessing?
Who is the new coach and from what school?
Gaston from USC. It is going to be a very different world for the program. She does not tolerate suckups, laziness, out of shape kids or poor fundamentals. She will also bring an assistant coach that knows something about golf versus only knowing how to go out and party on away trips. Congrats to Woodward and team again!
Agree, big name and huge hire to grab from West coast.
Awesome. Very happy for our team.
Wow. This will be interesting.
We need an Aggie! Someone who will recruit lights out!
Just showed it was Gaston on GC. Big hire.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Golf Channel announced it but nothing on A&M websites and position is still listed as being open.
Probably gotta dot all the I's, cross all the T's before anything official gets out. BOR has to approve contract too before official announcement I believe.
Wow! The AD is to be congratulated. Welcome to Aggieland, coach!
