Shane Davis got fired on December 1st so we’re coming up on a month with no head coach. Compared to football and basketball when a replacement is usually named within days, a month is an eternity. Hopefully an announcement is coming soon.

This is bad and will not only be bad for recruiting but but bad for the players. Team was close to being competitive. Hope they get a coach soon.

Was thinking the same. Starting to think I might have missed an announcement. I wonder who is running the search? God help us if Gragg is taking the lead on this one? Does Army have a Women’s VB team?

Go Army!
Go Army!
LOL. She actually checks a lot of boxes. Not sure she would relocate due to her husband’s role at West Point however.

Gragg is incompetent. Hard to believe he still has a job.
Beyond comprehension that you fire a head coach and don’t have several serious candidates lined up. I have been closely involved in several HC hiring processes, and this is not the way it is usually done. Gragg has really not looked good in terms of his hiring.
Par for the course. I wonder if the interest from top candidates isn’t there?
Seriously, it's hard to imagine a major college program being without a replacement coach for this length of time. Death knell for recruiting, one would think. High school season in most states is of course over, but club activity is when the bulk of recruiting is done nowadays.
For that matter, one would think the potential for outgoing transfers is increasing (though I don't know volleyball's portal windows).

I think we need to cut Gragg a little slack here…it’s only been six weeks or so. Look how long it to Alabama to replace one of the greatest football coaches of all time. 🙄
Thanks, NJ. Is it known how many Cats (& who) declared for the portal? And is the early Jan date a deadline for volleyballers to apply, or must they accept an offer from elsewhere by then? (Sorry I don't know where to look that up.

Today marks eight weeks without a head coach. I have no idea what is normal in the world of college volleyball coaching searches, but two months is so incredibly long in comparison to football and basketball searches that usually last only days.
The craziest part is this is the off-season so it’s not like NU has to wait on potential coaches to finish their season.
