Goestenkors has spent the last fifteen seasons at Duke and leaves with a career record of 396-99.  She's won seven ACC coach of the year awards.  Last week Gail visited ("interviewed") Texas and had told the press her decision would be at least a few days away.  Upon her return, the Duke players along with a great many students, teachers and parents held a rally hoping to persuade her to stay.

Personally, I'm sad to see her go (if it's true - I'm really not in denial) but am very pleased she's staying in college ball instead of going "pro".  I'll miss Jody, she was and is a class act.  I'm sure we'll see her around the Texas games.  Gail Goestenkors is an asset to any program and in my opinion will continue the 'class act' that Jody forged.  The University of Texas was smart and is lucky to have Gail on board.  I'm sure the kids at Duke are heartbroken and I sympathize with them.

The coaching vacancies just keep opening, filling and opening again...but that's what makes it more exciting for next year.
