I'd get downright tired too with a bunch of Texas Exes climbing on my back.
I went to the post-game event (like the FBC events here) after the Baylor game at Texas this year. A lot of former players were there for some event, as was Jody Conradt.
At the time, I thought the subdued atmosphere was due to the thrashing they had just experienced. But if the coach doesn't have the drive, things will be subdued.
Frankly, I didn't understand how Gail G hadn't had success. She had tradition and a budget and a school that wants its teams to win. Whether it was through a series of injuries on her team, or some special players on other teams, it hadn't happened. So then the question was, how was it that she was still coaching there. Yes, she had a long term contract, but still.
She seems a very nice lady. She seems like the kind of person who would have teams that love her for how she treats them, not for how they are mistreated (I'm thinking of what I see as a dysfunctional relationship between a particular coach and his players). I wish her well.
