For those who may have missed it, it was announced today that ISU is not renewing Wendy Dillinger's contract for women's soccer head coach. Her six-year record at ISU 48-58-11 (.410) overall and an 11-40-4 (.200) Big 12. Her seasons were (first to last):
5-12-2 (0-8-2)
7-9-4 (2-8-0)
8-10-2 (3-7-0)
9-9-1 (2-6-0)
10-10-1 (1-7-0)
9-8-2 (3-4-1)
Her departure is apparently immediate, as the assistant coach will be leading the club at the upcoming Big 12 championship.

Some questions for discussion:
1) Does anyone know if the non-renewal was based on performance?
2) If she was not retained because of performance, does the AD have to apply a similar standard next year to Rhoads after his sixth year to avoid accusations/appearance of unequal treatment?
If ISU FB ends up as many expect, Rhoads' overall winning % will be similar to Dillinger's. If ties are taken out (which aren't possible in CFB), Dillinger's overall winning % is actually higher than Rhoads. Rhoads is doing better in conference play.
