Homeward bound

Two weeks ago, Stephanie Erickson ('98) was named the new women's soccer head coach at NU. A few days later, Pat Fitzgerald ('97) succeeded Randy Walker as the head football coach. Yesterday, Tavaras Hardy ('02) became an assitant to basketball coach Bill Carmody, forcing us all to learn once and for all that there are no Es in the name Tavaras Hardy.

So, who's the next Wildcat to get a seat at the coaching table? I think there are two answers to that question.

In terms of general hotness: Dana Leonard ('00), women's basketball. Pros: general hotness; probably the final straw in bringing Andy Shin stateside once more. Cons: She probably has a real job now, since she played, you know, women's basketball.

In terms of athletic excellence: Jake Herbert ('07?), wrestling. Pros: Currently the best wrestler in the Big Ten, and one of the best in the world. Cons: Currently a junior in college. I'd suggest using him in a student/coach/player/administrator type of role.
