We do like poaching UCLA for the chick sports.

Also, I never knew CDC’s title was even bought, that’s crazy. 

It’s pretty common actually - Duke, Iowa, Ohio State, Creighton, Xavier. Ours was the largest endowment at the time 

The University of Texas at Austin announces a $10 million endowment from Lois and Richard Folger to create the largest endowment to a named athletics director in the country. The Lois and Richard Folger Athletics Director Endowment will provide perpetual flexible funding for non-salaried strategic use, empowering the athletics director to launch new initiatives and enhance the excellence of Texas Athletics for years to come.

UCLA Is traditionally strong in women’s sports but that B1G travel schedule is hell.

They also don't always charter. The LA airports have so many direct flights it's not as bad as Oregon has it, but having to go through commercial can be a nightmare. Especially for a soccer team.

I am very emotionally satisfied with this personnel move. I don't have anything against Angela Kelly as a human being, but this was a long time coming. 

I want to say the Wicked Witch is dead, but that's not fair to Kelly. Her incompetence doesn't make her an evil villain. It's just that we can do so much better, and for so long we haven't.

I think this is an important reminder, sometimes.

We get so ate up with finding fault in coaches and players that we way overdo it many or even most times, lately.

Yea, I never thought she was a bad person. But her coaching tenure was already on the downswing when Plonsky “stole” her from Tennessee. And Vols fans were not upset about it at all. 

It was a bad hire, and she dragged out her tenure with the promise of the big recruiting duos like Byars and Missimo. And we got no big postseason success out of it

She’s no more than a Clark or Strong - good person who just couldn’t get it done. She’s not a Tom Herman or Chris Beard.

She changed her last name in between announcements?

It’s weird since she got married in 2021 

Also she’s 2 years younger than me.

A lot of NWSL fans in the Bay Area hoped they could pull her into the pro ranks. They love her style of play

Hope she brings Boyoko with her

Have we had any other Asian-American head coaches? Wikipedia says she was the first AAPI coach to win a national title in soccer

This is the best hire possible.  She is young, plays a great style and has deep ties to the SoCal ECNL scene which produces the most talent in the country and second place is not even close.  Combined with Texas’ deep ties with Solar, I expect Texas to regularly sign Top 5 classes and compete for national titles.  Another absolute home run hire for CDC.

I'm guessing taking the change as opportunity to drop the maiden name.  

This is where I brag about Texas getting a "sitting NC Head Coach", right?  seriously, seems like a damn good hire.
