In late March, CBS college basketball reporter Seth Davis threw Staley’s name into the ring for the men’s head coaching vacancy at Temple University. 

"If Temple really wants to win basketball games it should turn the keys over to a Philly native who is a proven winner," Davis posted to Twitter. "Her name is Dawn Staley. Easy choice." 

Former Penn State assistant basketball coach Adam Fisher has since been named the 19th head coach in Temple basketball history.
