I'm curious whether any Ivy assistants would bite. I'm thinking of Lauren Battista at Princeton, Tyler Cordell at Columbia, or Kelly Killion at Penn. Cy Lippold probably wishes Shibles had held on for another couple down years so she could gain more experience at Columbia (but then the rebuild here would be even harder).
I hadn't really thought about the Army or Notre Dame connections; the latter is especially and obviously intriguing. An assistant coach with capital as a player might make recruiting just a little bit easier.
