[VolFuture]

Y’all win… truly shocked

April Fools?

Wow. Cora just confirmed on twitter.

I was wrong.

He better have a helluva hire lined up.

I think the 1.1 second sealed the deal. No coming back from that.

I was wrong.

April Fools?

No it is true

 

[VolFuture]

April Fools?

Seems so wrong

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Wow. I didn't see this coming

Needed to be done. Unfortunate and sad because she is a Lady Vol. Wish her and her family the best.

How many times did our resident "think they're insiders" post that "Kellie isn't going anywhere"?

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Didn’t see that coming at all. Props to him for being willing to make a bold decision that was also the correct one.

 

[VolFuture]

Needed to be done. Unfortunate and sad because she is a Lady Vol. Wish her and her family the best.

If he doesn’t already have a coach in line could be scary

 

[SGMVols]

Tough call. But it was the necessary one.

Her legacy as a player is forever. But the fact is she just wasn’t the right fit as a coach.

I wish her the best.

Now it’s time to find the coach to restore us to our rightful place as the gold standard of women’s basketball.

I thought it was April Fools but seems legit

I wanted to like her and give her a chance but after 6 years the program has been average at best, LV program should never be just average.

Kellie, thank you for giving your all, we know you would never give less than your best. This is a huge job with huge implications for the sport. LVFL

Danny White, thank you for your commitment to making Tennessee the best, most competitive school in the SEC. A change was needed and we trust in your hiring ability. Now don’t disappoint.

 

[MsSportsGuy]

Well I was wrong about this just a couple of minutes ago. I truly thought she had one more season to right the ship, despite my thoughts it wouldn't change anything in the big picture.

 

[volforlife10]

this can either be so good, or so bad. ig we will see.

 

[vol24/7/365]

Here we go I say Gruden

 

[Putbacks]

Everyone rally around the new hire.

 

[VolBall09]

Well we can delete this thread now. The deed is done. Kellie can rejoin the pantheon of Lady Vol greats without the title of head coach looming over her.

Me too

 

[Putbacks]

Darn! We missed out on Brooks….

 

[RAVOL]

Coaching search here we come. Thank You Kellie You brought class and elegance to your post but at Tennessee Your the standard of Elite ladies Basketball and you couldn't get us back to Elite level. Next up ? In CHRIST Alone

"To protect the integrity of this process, you will not hear from me until we are ready to announce our new head coach."

Let the speculation begin.

 

[utvolpj]

Per Harper’s contract, her buyout dropped from 3.1 million dollars to 2.2 million dollars on April first (today).

Odd date but everyone knew this was coming
