Colorado women's soccer coach Bill Hempen has coached his final game with the Buffs in Boulder, but it is unclear if he has resigned or been fired after a last place finish in the school's first season in the Pac-12 Conference

I'm interested in finding out whether this was Hempen's decision or not.
His teams have certainly underperformed the past few years. I respect a lot of what he accomplished at CU, but I think it was time for new direction.

Hempen has done a lot for CU Women's Soccer, but this past season was just bad, mediocrity was nowhere in sight. I think it was time for both sides to move on.

Sacky's reaction to a text alerting him to Embree's dismissal.
The CU women's soccer team went from non-existant to tournament regular in the span of about 6 years. Then went screaming right back to near complete irrelevancy. I'm not sure what Hempen did so right at the beginning and so wrong at the end. Having Nikki Marshall for four years probably had a lot to do with how good they were. Losing her probably had a lot to do with how bad they became.
Hmmm
Starting to hear that Hempen's relationship with club and HS coaches in the state isn't what it should be. That we've got the in-state talent to be one of the better programs but that they prospects won't come to CU.
I don't follow soccer closely enough to know. But I do follow recruiting and can say that recruiting for every single program except soccer is going well.
colorado is a surprising mine of soccer talent
This was definitely not Hempen's decision. He did a lot for the program but I think its time to move on, I think he lost touch with the players. In college sports you can't just cut the players so if a change needs to be made its always on the coach. I hope we make the right hire.
I would imagine they reach out to Hogan, hell, Bill probably got to him before Bohn did with the news. Interesting to see if he'd be interested in departing Coastal Carolina after only one season. The money should be a substantial increase and Pac-12 is big girl soccer compared to the Big South.
It's worth noting that Hogan just led the Lady Chanticleers to a record very similar to CU's this fall.
Right. Colorado has some of the best girls soccer clubs in the nation. Hempen hasn't landed much of that talent in the last few years which I'm assuming hurts recruiting in-state, and out of state. If Bohn were smart, he'd be interviewing the top club coaches at Rush and Real Colorado.
