There’s always some level of risk attached with any head coaching hire.
Athletic Director Wren Baker understands that and that’s why navigating a search process with a plan is critical when sorting through all of the different options.
That led Baker to hire North Texas head coach Ross Hodge for the vacant head coaching job in Morgantown.
Hodge has only spent two seasons as a head coach at the Division I level inheriting the Mean Green basketball program leading them to a 46-23 record during that time. That’s certainly a small sample size, especially when considering the challenges that await in the Big 12 Conference.
