Vic has been preparing Johnnie Harris for this moment. We lost Vic but we don?t need to lose the culture he created here as well. I think he leaves knowing the program will be in good hands.

If Cohen feels good about Harris, then I would hire her. She has been with the program and earned her shot. Mitchell would be my second call.
I do not think you can blame Cohen for this whatsoever. You can't blame him for Mullen, either. What you can blame him for is making a bad hire in JoeMo. I think he will do well this hire.
When you have a great, well-run program, you hire from within if there's someone who can do it. If Harris can do it, that's an easy call.
Unfortunately, though, it's likely inevitable our women's program will take a big step back, and none of us will care a whole lot anymore.
It's a shame, but Schaefer was the magician.
Make Johnnie Harris an offer she cannot refuse 1M/year!
There goes the neighborhood in MSU women's hoops. Our chances to win a natty in any sport just rolled back down the hill into the rapids. Mother****er
Bummer ... I like ole Vic now. We'll see how Cohen handles this coaching search and how it turns out down the road.
Hire Johnnie Harris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The more I think about it, we really need to hire Harris to keep the recruits and the culture already built, she has been Vic's right hand woman for years now, she knows what it takes.. bringing in someone new can potentially set us back for years.
That's fine. But if you're implying we go cheap, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. People have bought in to WBB. There's a huge portion of our fan base who love it. You don't fit that portion, and that's okay.
I prefer WBB personally. It's more team driven than individual, and in the past few years, they've been way more entertaining to watch than the men. That's my opinion and it's okay if people disagree, but many others share that opinion as well. I go to some men's games when I can. I support them and watch every game that I can't go to. But I don't miss a single women's game. Going cheap to "make room" won't go over well
We got the best decade of vics career, most likely. So that is good at least. Yes I know he has some left in the tank, but your fifties are usually your best.
It's interesting how we come up with excuses now for these ADs while blaming Shira & Dudy Noble for losing the likes of Darrel Royal & firing Allen McKeen without knowing their excuses.
We also fire coaches when their best players are hurt or suspended.
Point is, stop making excuses. It's about wins & losses both on the field & off.
Who cares, you think most will be around and folks 50 years from now will be talking about it? Well, if you have a son your legacy will live on***
LOL, I'm not sure anyone will agree with your post about 50 years, but it is a message board and it's known you don't care for our AD.
