7 regional appearances in 8 seasons there. State only had 8 appearances prior to her arrival. But you have to keep up with the Jones’s in the SEC.

That kind of sucks. I thought she was well liked by the team and MSU seemed to be much improved in the meat grinder that is the SEC.

Aw man, I liked Van.

Oh well, there's only coaches who have been fired or will be fired. It's just the business

Consistent but still bottom half of the SEC.

She’s one of the best and most well connected recruiters in the country. Y’all should have just extended her. It’s likeky moving backwards now.

Maybe Bama can hire her back. She was a great assistant there.

It is. I was thinking there must have been some kind of transgression, then I read this..........

During her tenure, Stuedeman has only a 69-127 mark in the Southeastern Conference.



Maybe she wanted a contract extension and State wasn't willing?

From what I understand the timing stems from the mass transfer of softball players.

This is something that needed to happen. I didn't think Cohen would do it, but he did something right here.

Here's the thing about Vann, argurably, every year was no different from year 1 of her. A bottom sec team who is competive with regional level competition but can't win anymore than a game or 2 in a regional because they simply aren't that good.

Idk what the future of State is, but we discussed some candidates on the MSU Board that I'll probably bring up again.
