Noticed a job posting for both Head Volleyball Coach and Assistant VB Coach at ACU. We are 2.5 months away from a scheduled scrimmage per the VB website. Ummm…. What’s up?

I have been hearing that something had happened and that Coach Blair was headed to Texas Tech as assistant. But, I have not confirmed that on the ACU or Tech athletic site.

Never a good sign when she just started following Texas Tech VB and they just started following her too

Women’s sports have had a rough time at the D1 level.

If money is an issue, the head assistant at TTU will make quite a bit more than the HC at ACU. Not to mention that the path to a top HC job is better.
Wow. So much turmoil.

Official announcement up on Texastech.com. Coach Blair will be Associate HC. The other assistant is also on the website, so Jeff Fiorenza is not going to Tech. Too bad, Jeff did a good job last year. Tony Greystone is at Tech -- very respected coach after he elevated TAMU-CC to a top-30 program. But, he has not been able to duplicate that at Tech. Greystone dumped his 2 assistants after another disappointing season. Coach Blair will undoubtedly get a good pay raise, but she will certainly be on the hot seat.

Is Coach Fiorenza going as well? Coach Fiorenza left back in April for the 3rd Assistant Coach job at Texas A&M. Those 2 put together quite the recruiting class as well for 2023 and 2024. Hopefully none of the decommit or leave.

Doesn't seem to be any heartburn about Blair leaving on this board. Was her only year such an abject failure? What is in store for Wildcat volleyball?

I think for me the silence is really more symbolic of the fact that some of these sports programs have seemed so irrelevant or unsuccessful that this news is just another bummer headline.

It’s pretty frustrating given the time of year and she was only around for one season. We were starting to see a turnaround in recruiting and play on the court. Hopefully the buy-out is a significant amount to further fund the program.

I think the lack of discussion is more to suggest that we were in the first season of a rebuild and it just feels like another setback. Blair seemed like a great coach, but if she's out, there is no use dwelling on it. More interested in who the next coach will be.
