Salima made an appearance in her usual spot for Volleyball Magazine, in which she talked about taking the Notre Dame job. The video is here. |

I'll be curious who she selects as assistants.

I mean, Rose's management of the program produced seven national titles since 1999 and the best team ever. He was doing something right. What does 2000 Nebraska have to do with this?  |

Good luck convincing anyone outside of Nebraska that the 2000 Huskers were better than 2008 Penn State. I think your post is tongue-in-cheek, but still. Edit: Nebraska needed five sets to beat South Carolina in the second round?!?!?!? |

I will admit I do not know that much about the new Notre Dame coach. I know she was a fantastic player and a very capable assistant coach that went back and forth from Penn State to Texas and back to PSU. Is that right? Has she ever been a head coach of a college team or a head ooach at some other level? Did she consider becoming the head coach at PSU? It baffles me a bit about the reverence she seems to have on Volleytalk. Someone educate me please.

It's interesting contrasting the reaction to Salima's hire with Katie Schumacher-Cawley's hire. |

It's interesting contrasting the reaction to Salima's hire with Katie Schumacher-Cawley's hire. My belief although I have been neither a head coach or an assistant coach or anything other than an over-enthusiastic volleyball fan is that there can be a world of difference between being an assistant coach to being a head coach. Notre Dame would seem to be a safer entry into head coaching than Penn State. |

I will carry my argument a little further by adding that volleyball coaching history is likely littered with assistant coaches that have failed once they became head coaches.

It baffles me a bit about the reverence she seems to have on Volleytalk. Someone educate me please. Her most recent exposure to many, has been in the volleyball broadcast area with ESPN. Many feel they "know her" better by seeing her on many big volleyball match broadcasts. Outside of that, she is a wonderful human being. Has a huge passion for the sport, can articulate it well, and it translates over the airwaves and she is about as real of a person as you can get. She is super well connected, has built an amazing brand, and knows enough to surround herself with amazing people. Many expected her to be a front runner for the PSU job given her history with the program. I think many people given her history, were rooting for this to happen. Many were shocked that ND scooped her up before PSU. Ironcically, I could say they exact same things about Katie (new PSU Coach) except she has had quite a bit of head coaching experience (granted not at a B1G level). Not so much on the broadcasting and nationwide exposure part. |

I'm certain she can recruit good players, and she's coached teams and players at the highest level of NCAA competition. She won't balk in the big moments. The unknown is: how will she perform when making all the 'final' decisions? Ultimately, I think she'll be fine. |

Her name, street cred + brand are synonymous with excellence. |

Her name, street cred + brand are synonymous with excellence. So if it turns out she has assistant coach syndrome and can't step up into the big role, does all the hype she received in the volleyball world in conjunction with being a knowledgeable broadcaster contribute to her demise if things start to not go the way she hopes? This is by no means ripping her or saying she will fail, but just seems so strange to me that she has been hyped up so hard for all these years and displayed as in waiting for Rose to retire, only to go somewhere else. I have seen plenty of amazing players and people that are super knowledgeable in the game just never figure out how to develop a team and/or translate that knowledge into multiple different ways that individual athletes may learn. Granted she will have a way easier time getting top players than say the football team does, is there a chance in the end of all this her name carried more weight than her results? |
