Cohen must read the Grindrant. 
From what I gather, she was a players coach and the girls really liked her but at the end of the day, results matter. I wonder if they bring in someone or do they promote Ricketts? I think Ricketts is from the OU softball family and might have some good connections for recruiting.

I wouldn't be opposed to Ricketts. I thought she was the best coach on staff.
Just will be interesting to see who they go with. My guess is Cohen will go outside but who knows. He's tended to go with SEC assistants in these sports, but that was the direction we went with Vann and that didn't work so idk if he would continue that path or try something else.
Or maybe Cohen has someone in mind already and we'll hear something quick(but I think that would've been announced by now).
Timing seems odd but my guess is there was a recent meeting about the state of the program and he didn't like the direction it was in after all the transfers including one who just went to Florida.
At the end of the day, she had 8 years, and we weren't any better from year 1 then we were from year 8. Considering the 21-0 Ole Miss loss, the SEC losing streak, and the inability to win a Regional or even be competitive enough to host one in the new softball stadium they built, this isn't a surprise at all and no one is pushing back against this.

Also confirmed that Cohen reads the Grindrant as he does indeed hire Ricketts.
