I heard rumor of this earlier today...was hoping it wasn't actually true...but it is official.

So late for Jo to find anyone else...Feel horrible for Tori, Ashley, Kristen, Erica...et al Seniors.

Sad day for Aggie Softball. Gerry was an outstanding coach and the major contributor on this staff. He had to take the Auburn job for several reasons and I can't blame him a bit. GG is a great guy who was in no uncertain terms shown the door here imo. We have no one to blame but ourselves. Athletic dept could have stepped in but didn't. Very weak! The girls will survive though. Hard workers all...GG instilled his work ethic during his time here. Good luck Gerry and thank you for your time at A&M!

Jo can hire Kara Dill as a fulltime coach.

During the few games I saw last season, the TV announcers were piling high praise on him. With the new facility, the success he has had in developing current players and the hype about the team's potential, there has to be a significant back-story. Maybe it's about geography, family or conflict with Jo?

Former Aggie baseball plater Keith Stein is the new hitting coach for Aggie softball.

Glad to see Kara Dill get hired on full time. She did an outstanding job with the pitchers last season.

Dill was leaving if not given full time spot.

Stein is married to former Aggie SB player.

Not sure what Aggies gain from replacing a quality hitting coach with a coach that hasn't lasted more than a couple years anywhere.. TAMUCC, SFA, UTSA, SHSU

I wouldn't say he hasn't lasted more than two years anywhere. More like coaching changes and promoting to better teams from what I see.

What's the real story?
Thoughtful engagement and discussion of the matter would be helpful to all of us.

I had an agtag.. it disappeared a few years ago and I never did whatever we had to do to get it back. Plus what does not having an ag tag have to do with it?? I was speculating,.

Stein was a volunteer assistant under Coach Evans at A&M ,Coach Brock (3 NC while at A&M) at SHSU, and Coach Lehotak at Penn State (pretty damn good mentors). TAMUCC, SFA, UTSA, A&M....every move has been an upgrade.

Steiner - that is basically what I was getting out in my post to, just didn't give the specifics.

Know what a struggle it has been for him the last few years... using this as a chance at a stepping stone.

I think we had to keep Dill so someone had to go? Evans wasn't going to let her best friend go, so it was Glasco that got shown the door. I wish we could have more assistant coaches on staff.

I hope Erin still hangs around. I enjoy listening to her to color for the radio broadcasts.

Glasco was just named head coach at The University of Louisiana Lafayette after they fired Mike Lotief.

Well, after all that it looks like he probably would have left A&M for that job anyway even if he hadn't gone to Auburn. Glad to see him get a head gig - it was just a matter of time - and really glad to not have to face him at Aurburn every year.

Edit: While I think he's going to do very well, he's stepping into a rather interesting situation over there. The fired coach, Loteif, seems to have been a deranged lunatic. Hopefully he's able to put all that behind them quickly and make them forget that guy.

Mike Loteif is a legend who did a lot of good for that softball program. Know some girls who played for him and they all enjoyed their time there as far as I understand.

Lots of players supporting him, others telling some questionable stories and making some serious accusation.

Lotief has had some very serious health problems and while I can only wonder, I wonder if that's sharpened any of his rough edges.

The coming lawsuit(s) will be interesting.

Weirdly enough, ULaLa's new athletic director was around for a similar thing at Missouri.

Missouri's softball coach, Earlywine, ended up getting his job back...

Just the story, corroborated by witnesses, of his meltdown at LSU with the grounds crew should have been grounds for immediate dismissal. Apparently he was screaming at them about putting his d/ck up their azzes (using that exact language) when they asked he and his team to leave the field. I'd say that kind of behavior goes far beyond the sharpening of a rough edge; that's a person with serious anger issues.

I can corroborate the story. I was sitting in the 1st row and watched the whole thing.
