Vic Schaefer leaves big shoes to fill for Mississippi State women’s basketball team

Vic Schaefer has decided to take the women’s basketball head coaching job at Texas, and replacing him at Mississippi State won’t be an easy task.

There were many who thought Vic Schaefer would be the first head coach to lead a Mississippi State team sport to a national championship. Over the past eight seasons, he’s built a powerhouse in the Bulldogs women’s program, but now athletic director John Cohen will have to begin the search for his replacement.

Schaefer announced that he is leaving Mississippi State to take the same job at the University of Texas, heading back to his home state.
