MSU family, as we bid farewell and extend well wishes to Coach Vic Shaffer, we are faced with a void in our Bulldog family. We are now in need of a Women’s Basketball Head Coach who can and will build on the momentum of our top 10-ranked Women’s Basketball Team. As stated by MSU AD, John Cohen, We are excited for the next chapter of Mississippi State Women’s Basketball.” Without a doubt, the best candidate to take the whistle and to write our next chapter is our very own Coach Johnnie Harris.
Coach Harris has been the right arm of our successful basketball team. On many occasions, Coach Shaffer has commented that without her by his side, our team could not have accomplished a school record of 126 victories, four-straight NCAA Tournaments, an SEC title, and back-to-back National Finalist finishes. Coach Harris is the full package; as described by Coach Shaffer, “She fulfills so many roles . . . She sees the whole program. She can not only develop them on the court, but off the floor.” She is also a top recruiter as evidenced by her assistance to sign top players.
Coach Harris’ countless contributions to the MSU Bulldog success is the tip of the iceberg. She is a veteran coach who has poured into the lives of countless numbers of athletes. In the 2017-18 year, her hard work and success was noticed and awarded Assistant Coach of the Year by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association.

She deserves a shot. She's put in the work. this is a great opportunity to show that Mississippi State University promotes from within, recognizes and rewards loyalty, and hires the best available candidates to lead the best athletes.
The fact that she is an integral part of the unprecedented success of this program cannot be denied. This is not just an obvious choice, it is the right choice.
Coach Harris would be an excellent choice for head coach for MSU. She would provide continuity that we need for existing players, incoming recruits, current assistant coaches and would maintain the consistency in the aggressive style of play and help maintain the enthusiasm of our fan base.
I am a proud alumni of Mississippi state university and I think this would be the best direction to go to keep our recruits and to continue the success of our women basketball program.
Better grab her. She is familiar with the program that has been built and lets face it, if she is not hired by MSU guess what, she is headed to Texas.
Hail State!
