Since we're all just throwing darts, here's this guy:

Matt Moore, current Troy OL coach and Co-OC.

  • Troy runs Air Raid.
  • Played for Leach in the 90s
  • Coached with Leach when Graham Harrell was a player
  • Coached at LT and MTSU

So he's got plenty of mid major and P5 experience.

I'm down, but I think we are in need of someone with ties to recruiting in Texas.. Not saying he doesn't but someone like Hays that already does is a major plus, and the guy from OSU has coached in the SEC and Big 12 so he has a background that would appeal to kids.. But I think think Moore is someone to watch with Troys success and his ties to the members on the staff

The huge thing that appealed to me was that he was Tech's OC for a couple seasons and he's currently a Co-OC.

I think his experience could be helpful for Harrell.

Anything to help this staff, and GH... Improved OL play will just lead to a more successful team.. Keeping the offense on the field will lead to the defense being fresher

With that said, the OL Coach maybe the most critical spot this year and next because of the youth that we just brought in. SL needs to be confident in that coach, and someone has a proven record of coaching up kids.

The Troy coach, OSU, and Tech coach would all be solid additions.

Another shot in the dark since I'm bored: Lee Hays

Recently replaced Tech OL coach, former Baylor OL coach and OC, former West Texas A&M OC

Good find.  Could definitely see this happening.  His prior salary at Tech ($210K) is not that far off from what he could get here.  Seems like he has got a heck of a lot of experience and has been all over Texas and has a history in the Air Raid.

ETA:  Just noticed that this was also a potential candidate the Vito mentioned.  Could be a strong contender.

Was let go by Tech, and has been all over Texas... Davis seemed to recruit in HOU and Hays has 2 stints there

Another to watch could be the former OKState OL coach

      Hope he makes the roster. Would be fun to watch him sling it in the NFL.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.
