Coach Kellie Harper fired

[VolFuture]

Name some names big shot....So you can't find anyone that can go at least 12-37.

I have very consistently posted my opinions here including many many detailed lists on acceptable hires… you’re just a hate filled human with a Kellie vendetta.

Have fun scrolling

Right after you discuss:
4th in the SEC (KJH worst finish)
NCAA Tournament
First round win
Banked buzzer beater from the SEC Championship hame
4th Consecutive 1st round WNBA draft pick
20 wins

You explain that fairly and I’ll comment on the ranked opponents.

Not sure what you want explained. These are all facts. Just a matter of if one interprets them as fine or not fine. I would say 20-13 and failing to advance past the first weekend of the tournament isn’t acceptable.

 

[spojo13]

are you typing these as positives or negatives?

I just fell out.

 

[AthensVol2007]

You understand how average works right? 4th of 14 nor 20-14 (with the strongest schedule in the nation) is not average.

There are TWO….. programs who have won 30 games this year.

We have not been mediocre.

Yes 20-14 is mediocre and the fact that you think it’s acceptable is why we’re mediocre. By the way, at least 10 women’s teams won 30 games this year not 2.

Was‘t the SEC championship game, but carry on.

Everyone but you views 4th as unacceptable. You can have low standards, we won't.
I mean let's just put the bar on the floor
Yay?
That's one way to frame it. I'd call it the worst defensive coaching job to closeout a game I've ever seen. Kellie is 100% to blame for that collapse.
Only 4 in a row? She should probably recruit more consistently.
20 wins in genuinely embarrassing for this program. How do you not see that?

Now let's hear about the record against ranked opponents...

 

[Lucy]

So Kelly couldn't win the sec in 5 years, but you say the new coach better win it in His/Her First year? OK then. Ponder that a minute.

Heupel hasn’t even won our division much less the SEC and yet he is fabulous.

 

[Volstylexx]

I can go out tomorrow and hire coaches that could go 12-37 at Tennessee.

Not an answer. Name them

Are ya'll really going to have this argument? @Tnphil is spot on. It don't think it would honestly be that hard to replicate the 12-37 record. Here's you a few just in our league btw who would easily replicate:

1. Kristy Curry

(Alabama) 2018 Coached the Tide to their first every win over UT in Knoxville (has consistently beat us since), i.e, 2022 upsets #8 TN when her Tide team was 3-9 in league play. Back to back top 15 wins in 2020 - over No. 9 Mississippi State and No. 12 Texas A&M. 2024 - beat #20 Louisville.

2. Joni Taylor

3. Robin Pingeton

 

[AthensVol2007]

Yeah national championship games (1998 against us) are not relevant…… idiot.

However, my point isn’t for LA Tech. It’s that TIMES CHANGE. Tennessee will never be as dominant as they were. ASK GENO why he’s not trying to win national championships I guess. We’re not LA Tech, we are Tennessee and have been competitive in the SEC. Very different.

The man who won a title 7 seasons ago and has been to 6 Final 4’s, one title game and potentially a 2nd this season, since that last title? He still sounds pretty dominant to me.

 

[spojo13]

I’m sorry I just can’t. I am kinda of flabbergasted that the same people saying Kellie needed 6 or more years to make us competitive are also the ones saying the new coach better get us there in 1 to 2 seasons. I’m so glad that DW is the actual AD with the full backing of Plowman and Boyd and not the “regular” posters on here.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

No. Not even in the same zip code as football.

Agree to disagree

 

[volfan__18]

Was‘t the SEC championship game, but carry on.

he didn’t say that. he said “from”. he’s correct in this statement.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

No you couldn’t.

 

[Rooster1]

Again, nobody is willing to discuss the facts of what I have brought up. You and others have a great liberal political career ahead of you if you choose.

Or as election deniers…..works both ways.

 

[therealitytheory]

And all this attention re: 12 - 37....doesn't account for the MTSU debacle. That was a watershed moment for many LV followers.

 

[ttharp]

I think he is the guy, again just my gut here. But Oregon State is dropping to a lower conference next season, and the time to get him is now. The guy can coach his ass off.

I get the same feeling. We will see.

In Dawn’s last press conference, she really praised Rueck’s coaching.

Lmaoooo what argument? I’ve posted my thoughts yall don’t read.


JONI????

ROBIN


BE SO FRRRRRR LMAOOOOO

 

[Rooster1]

He said buzzer beater from the SEC championship “hame”, not tourney, but carry on.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Heupel hasn’t even won our division much less the SEC and yet he is fabulous.

He inherited a nightmare situation and has quickly gotten the program in the best position it’s been in since 2007. Context matters.

Lol....I've been a fan since Summitt took over the so called program. I know what the program is and where it should be. I know who I hope DW has interest in but it's his choice not your or mine. Your opinion in the hire means squat.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

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.

Okay. Well, may the Force be with you in your crusade I guess.

 

[therealitytheory]

20 wins in the last 2 years and a brief time as #1 in the nation.
He IS fabulous.

No I just question if u have any sense or would say “let’s hire Joni Taylor”
