I know who Stephanie White is but haven't paid a whole lot of attention to her. I am floored (and quite happily so) to read that she is married and she and her wife have three children. This has to be the first hire of an openly gay/lesbian coach who has a family. I'm pleased that this did not deter Vandy from pursuing her. |
I'm pleased, too. I hope this translates into more openness, generally, for the coaching profession. Too much homophobia for too long.

Amen to that! Me three! It also occurred to me (well, to The Man first, actually) that Vandy will have probably the best-looking coaching staff in the SEC.
