tick, tick, tick....let that fact sink in.
She had ZERO, ZILCH, NADA head coach experience at that time. Leon had spent years grooming her to be his replacement, putting all of our chips in that one basket. He (we) could have been grooming someone else, you know, like Gary Blair, for instance, and others. So, Leon retires and then kaboom! that bitch stabs her own alma mater in the back, multiple times.
Reneau, and others, told her she would earn an extension to the contract making it 5 years+, which was the point of contention according to pigtails. Only, it really wasn't. It was just the excuse she leaned on. As I recall, at that time, 4 years was the maximum length a state contract could be for personnel, or at least for coaches. It wasn't until it affected LSU that the legislature changed it.
Let's review, put yourself in this situation: you are presented a 4-year contract making you the HIGHEST PAID COACH AT TECH, I mean, seriously, a frickin' WBB coach making more than the FOOTBALL COACH!!??? And, you are being allowed to coach at your beloved alma mater. One would assume that that alone would mean something to you. But....apparently that wasn't good enough for the all-mighty "I am more important than any institution, or any group of a 100,000 people you care to assemble" pigtails.
So, she throws a temper tantrum, wrecks her office, destroying public property, and chases off recruits, including Alana Beard, who later led Duke to the Final Four. Then, Leon had to come OUT of retirement and coach two more years, just to stabilize the situation.
pigtails alone is responsible for that whole mess. You idiots that keep blaming Reneau are simply stupid.
