Oso planning to go pro
That didn’t take long - Megan Duffy is the new Marquette Coach.She played at Notre Dame and was most recently the head coach at Miami (OH). She was an assistant for awhile at Michigan.
So much irony that 19 days ago Miami/OH put out this video, extolling her:https://www.youtube.com/v/5d8PnTv-AYMhttps://miamiredhawks.com/coaches.aspx?rc=136

She was one of just four rookie head coaches in 2017-18 to collect at least 20 wins and the only female to accomplish the feat.
I found this line in the press release to be a little condescending. I hope she signed off on it:
I think it depends how one reads it. She is a Muffett disciple, so I took it as her way of saying she can do same or better than the dudes. I still think what the ND coach said the other day violates employment law so I hope Duffy doesn’t go down that path with her words.
Can't we let people simply infer that? I mean, even if there's no picture, it is pretty apparent that the new coach is indeed a woman. After all, they use the pronoun "she" in the press release.I don't think I am super sensitive about stuff like that, but that comment just smacks of "not bad for a girl!" or "We had several choices for head coach, buy we chose the one that's a lady!"
I don't think I am super sensitive about stuff like that
Muffet has started a movement and Duffy supports her, simple as that. Welcome Coach Duffy!
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I think the movement is fine, but you can't say what Muffet said the other day in most places, not without being in violation of employment hiring laws. I'm surprised that hasn't also gotten traction, instead a lot of praise....maybe it is overall praise and ignoring the part about who she absolutely wouldn't hire. Interesting. For the record, 89% of the people on my team are women currently, I hire who I think the best people are for the job. At any rate, welcome to Coach Duffy. Seems like a solid background. Hope she can build on the previous coach's success.
