Doesn't mean he's firing the coach.... doesn't mean he is listening to you... cause it will not happen this season if that is what you are hoping

If it don’t we need to dog him every game next season he is making a mistake if he don’t this year

Earl and I have come to an agreement, so I don’t want to rehash; however, there was no caveat about observations of the AD in the original post between the two groups. I can agree that the AD will put a higher priority on donors. The original post looked like it implied that only those who have given or able to go to games should have an opinion on the ladies. That is all I stated and took offense to, nothing more and nothing less. I think Earl and I are good now and have cleared up any misunderstandings.

I bet any administrator will assess the value add of any input, equally for those in attendance or anonymously in public forums.

There are too many variables (e.g. Who is going to replace KJH ?) for me to vote on this topic. In her favor is the way the team has played against Kentucky (The second half anyway) and Alabama. I'm going to wait to see how the team does in the SEC final and then the NCAA. However, presently, I'm leaning toward keeping her as HC.

I don't think it matters much after the two tourney wins. I am certain she is back now go get some players. One we should get is Teonni and then two posts and a point guard. Here we come next season.

What has Teonni done to make her so good should don’t play that much

When she has played she has played very well hasn't played much at all. A change of scenery may change everything. She was the number nine ranked player in her class. I would like her to come and play a season with Tamari.

Danny White may have a short list and I wouldn’t rule out a young and up and comer type coach. That’s probably what it would have to be. We know what we have with KJH. If Tennessee wants “good”.. keep her. I think the Lady Vols brand deserves better.

I think coach at Jack at Syracuse would hope to be on DW short list since he has connections with her

THE HOLLY FOLLY
The real disaster came when it was clear that Pat was having problems She was formally diagnosed in 2011, but those who were paying attention, Pat was seriously slipping in 2009.
Holly never had the chops to be a head coach. Her speaking ability was awful. Listen to any post game interview and try to make sense of it.. She was basically HC from 2008 forward spending 3 years as Asst HC while Pat was allowed to hold on until 2012..
Pat would have hated knowing what happened to her program at this point. She knew Holly could not replace her.. Holly had interviewed for several HC jobs even top programs like North Carolina. amd they refused to hire her. Nikki Fargas from Oak Ridge was probably the best but she went to UCLA and then LSU - Her LSU problems were exacerbated by the general feeling that she was the Lady Vol coach in waiting when UT got it;s act together and cut Holly loose. Jolly Harper was a down the list choice after her failure at NC State. but the problems at UT are not of her making. Had Kellie come to UT for the 2012 -13 season she would have been at least as good a Holly as far as record went - so would Nikki
By 2019 it was too late The program had already sunk to depths from which it will be difficult to recover. Kellie may be the best choice to continue. She is still in the SEC Tourney and it will be interesting to see how they deal with USC tomorrow in the 3rd try.
Our NCAA seeding and performance will be another indicator. KARA or NIKKI might be an improvement but there is no sure thing out there after the Holly Folly.

Auburn was terrible. Fla and Ol Miss are not bad
