Shocker: Mississippi State women's basketball coach Vic Schaefer leaving for new job
Some absolutely shocking news took place in the SEC women’s basketball world on Sunday.
After 8 seasons at the helm of the Mississippi State program, coach Vic Schaefer is on the move, taking a new job in the Big 12.
As you can see below, Texas AD Chris Del Conte posted a picture of the former Bulldog coach in Austin. He’ll replace Karen Aston:

Aston did not have her contract renewed. Del Conte issued a statement about it on April 3:

Schaefer led the Bulldogs to the last 5 NCAA Tournaments (and it would have been 6 if the postseason wasn’t canceled this year). Mississippi State lost the title game in 2017 and 2018.
Schaefer compiled a record of 221-62 in his 8 years in Starkville.
Maybe he can find someone to play for that will say “Hey man…do you feel like running some drills today? No? Ok then…just let us know when you feel up to it.” I’m sure he’s heard a lot worse from coaches and this is just an excuse to bounce.
It’s apparent that my phone let me comment on the wrong topic…
Yeah, but it was the best part of this post. Also, maybe we should just hire the Texas coach. She was pretty good.
What the hell happened?????
Much like ole miss dropped off face of earth of women’s basketball when Van Chancellor left for WNBA same for Mississippi State
oh no! They suck again!
