Several months ago I heard Coach Staley on a national radio show and she briefly mentioned that her next contract could possibly be her last. Now we know last week she signed her new contact.
Of course, coaches say a lot of things when things are in contract negotiations as leverage so anything they say should be taken with a grain of salt. She also said this week she had no plans to coach anywhere else.
I expect that she will be here for longer than this current contract so maybe this is the next to last one she signs here.
I was thinking though of the program after Coach Staley and if at some point she hires someone that would she'd be able to turn the program over to in terms of a head coach. I don't think that person has to be on staff now- and I don't think they are - and wouldn't need to be at this point as Coach Staley has many years left here- maybe even a decade or so.
