A lot of what's wrong ..

This story has a lot of what's wrong with college softball. First, husband-wife coaching staffs are always a bad idea. The fact that the player's parents are even mentioned regarding the firing, that the administration has absolutely no backup plan and is canceling the season, that both daughters are on their fourth program, and it goes on and on.

I'm glad my kids are out of coaching, but now they're hiring the same idiots because they'll take the job. She was an EIU head coach, but she's also had multiple other jobs too.

I don't see this story as emblematic of college softball. It's just good ole incompetence!

Of course this shouldn't have happened, but there is stupidity everywhere in the world. Nothing more or less.

I could be wrong, but I don't see as much new talent in coaching. A lot of retreads.

When coaches make a lot of lateral moves, it's a bad sign.

How do you cancel a season? Can't the AD's step in to help with the Admin tasks?

Wife/Husband has had a bad history lately, and if you lose one, the other pretty much has to go too.
