Stephanie VanBrakle was a good player at Alabama. She was well thought of in her short time at Samford. This looks like a good hire to me.

I think it's a great hire considering her success as a coach and her knowledge of pitching. RTR!!  #+

Why was Stuedeman not retained? The team is doing great so I assume some problem with the HC.

I've wondered about that too. Stuedeman did not go to LSU with CPM. Was she asked and choose not to go or was she not asked to go? Either way when CPM returned to Bama Stuedeman was out.

I think you have to take the positives from all this. Stuedeman got the head coach job at Miss St which is a good move up for her. Alabama gets a former player who is a young and brings some new energy to the program. Maybe CPM thought it was time to make a change to help get us to the Championship game.

I think we made a great new hire. She was VERY successful at Samford and BSC.
