Coach Kellie Harper fired

[volmanNC]

Some good points but generally it was a bunch of football posters who have problems with…I’ll just leave that there. I hope people who truly are LV fans and have donated over the years to the LVs will be placing calls tomorrow to the AD. I know I will.

Problems, not sure what you are talking about. The football players enjoy watching the LadyVols play. We need quality entertainment for the team. Time for new coach!

Are you not a football fan? Are you a softball fan, never see you post there? We know you don’t do baseball and believe Barnes is a jerk. The fact you’re calling tomorrow is two days too late, you should have called yesterday.

Your “vast majority” is 57% on an anonymous board of mostly complainants.

That poll is dated and was always skewed by the heat of infighting and acrimony. Part of that was people dissing Kellie, which is no way to proceed, and naturally provokes a defensive response. She's a LVFL. I'm basing my appraisal on what I've seen posted today.

As I said earlier, I think a lot of true fans who wanted Kellie for another year are embracing the future today. They may be sad in one respect, but they are also enthused by the opportunity and the fact that DW takes the LVs seriously and is going to do his all to bring us back. I am hoping that it ends up bringing all Vol fans together, whatever their first-choice sport. We have a built-in pool to rapidly expand our WBB fan support right here. Everything school.

LVs are a great heritage. We need a big jolt now. We need, in my opinion, a new coach, very talented, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, and who wants to make their own way at a "name" place that offers them premiere opportunity, support, and the world's greatest fan base, and who does not feel like they are under Pat's shadow. That would make them more like Pat than anything else could. Pat was always making her own way like a natural-born champ.

There is no risk that Pat won't always be revered. I absolutely do not mean that. But we have to reach kids too young to remember her. We have to be the "now" place. And paradoxically, that will keep Pat forever young.

Regular posters isn’t a good indication of people who support the program. Lots of people post about women’s basketball in the recruiting forum. Thinking regular posters in the LV forum depicts the temperature of the fanbase isn’t accurate. Plus, there are a lot of people out there who don’t give a rip about being on a forum.

Fan base of millions

About time! Should have happened last year.

 

[Voltopia]

Continuing impact from the firing, as Chastain reopens her recruitment. I doubt that surprises anyone, but.

Yeah finishing 3rd of 14 would have given us a better jumping off point over 4th of 14.

I think DW has a big fish he's already hooked and a lot of you are going to be SHOCKED

Based on…?

I already knew and Nyla Brooks was gone and I’m at peace with it now. Everyone here says we will get better elite recruits in the 25 class and beyond so I’ll have to wait and see.

 

[CINCYVOL]

Here we go I say Gruden

Soon

brooks id say is a toss up. she’s love UTK. if she connect with the new coach, she stays.

Nobody knows who the coach will be so how does anybody know what recruits we get?

His plane has been tracked landing in Knoxville..

It's too early to make a reliable call -- much less a final call -- on '25s. How will the new hire not make the players we lead for a priority? What's the signing date? Think of it that way. We have to be patient for a short while.

No, Majors. It’s just the regulars on here. Didn’t you know they represent the entire fanbase? The opinion of anyone who doesn’t post on this forum doesn’t count.

Unfair but accurate.

Wonder how long Danny White waits to announce the new coach? Something like this, you would think a decision is made by next week.

Then how do you know what they're thinking?

Probably around National Championships game day… national exposure.

Until he misses on everyone until he settles on the mid major coach where he came from (Heupel).

The explanation that Maria jumped the gun on some unverified

I would be careful If I were you....................Maria is in Charge. If you dont believe it...........ask her.
Whoever comes in as the new Coach will be advised to keep her out of the locker room and out of the program!!

Yeah her days are over if it’s not a LVFL.

For everyone saying “Kara”

We just fired this. The percentages tell the most truth. She’s likely to be about a 60% win coach as well.

We basically just fired those results so makes no sense to replace Kellie was the same problems.
