Who could be the next head coach at Minnesota?

Minnesota is looking for a head coach for the second time in three years following Jamie Trachsel's sudden departure for Ole Miss. The Gophers bring an attractive position to the table, just a year removed from the program's first-ever Women's College World Series berth and sporting a roster that is still loaded with talent. Pitching ace Amber Fiser is set to return for her second attempt at a senior season, while offensive juggernaut Natalie DenHartog is still just a sophomore.
