Appreciate what she has built and wish her the best.


Now it's time to go get a coach to get us over the hump. Love to see a coach from Washington, Cali, Arizona, or Oklahoma/State come in. Our resources have to dwarf many other programs.

Definitely a program primed to explode because of what she built. Should be a plum position for any coach with a young roster clearly capable of playing very well. Let’s see how Brooks manages the search

Helluva run. DGD. Hopefully we continue the success she has built over the last 2.5 decades

Thats how I feel. Champer did a great job almost building this program from scratch and getting the team to where it is now, but she is far from a great in game manager, probably had reached her ceiling in college softball, and can be upgraded if we just spend a little money.

Asked a softball group on Facebook about potential replacements and front runner should be Kenny Gajewski from OK State.

Coached under Walton at Florida and won two Natty’s. Proven recruiter who turned OK State around in last five years...Plus he beat us last week and out coached Champer (no disrespect meant).

He’s young and will be around for a while. Plus he’ll always play second fiddle in OK to Patty Gasso.

Throw the big bucks at him Brooks and make a splash with your first big hire.

Also mentioned were Dot Richardson from Liberty and Brandon Elliott from VA Wesleyan.

I’d love to see Georgia hire from outside, but if I had to bet I’d say they are just going to promote Tony Baldwin to head coach. The last few years it has seemed like he has been being groomed to take the head job. Hope they make a killer hire, but I’m not confident they will go for a big time proven coach.
