North Texas head coach Rodney DeLong resigns

After seven seasons leading North Texas, head coach Rodney DeLong has resigned, Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley announced Friday.
“We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing a positive and exceptional experience for our student-athletes and will work tirelessly to find the next head coach and leader of our program,” Mosley said. “We have launched a nationwide search for the next head coach of our softball program. We will have no additional comment until a new coach is named.”
The news comes as a bit of a surprise after North Texas was part of the First Four Out for the NCAA Tournament. Delong was 232-119 while leading the Mean Green. DeLong was previously the head coach at Austin Peay and an assistant at Georgia Tech.
