Dawn Staley or Vic Schaeffer

I wouldn't cross the street to hire Vic Schaeffer, even if he paid me.

:hi:Why even consider two outsiders to replace CHW. We have the best available in Tamika Catchings now finished with being a player in the WNBA. She is Tennessee all the way and one of the best ever to play for the LV and in the WNBA. Kara Lawson is another former LV to consider. We have the players for 2018 and only need a coach that can develop them to LV national level again. Why wait do it now.

Anyone whose ever saw me post in this forum knows I've been very much in favor of parting ways with Holly Warlick & at least trying to lure Dawn Staley from Carolina. After tonight though it'll be damn tough to steal her away.

And what makes you think TC or KL can coach or would want to coach?

I realized that earlier today and felt like an idiot for forgetting her. I do think the point stands about her attractiveness to recruits as the only currently active African American active female head coach with a national title.

Vic Scheaffer defeated unbeaten UCON and BAYLOR without a single high school or college All-American.

Fans across the nation are going to remember Mississippi State beating UCON, not USCe beating Mississippi State.

1. Vivians and McCowan were high school All-Americans, Vivians is a collegiate All-American now.

2. Speak for yourself, I remember beating Mississippi State 3 times.

Dawn makes a base salary of 1.1 million and will receive a bonus of almost $600,000 when it's all said and done.

She will have made almost $2 million coaching basketball at the University of South Carolina.

And you know she's about to get a base pay bump for winning the national title AND being the current Women's National Team coach (an exposure/accolade chest bump for UofSC)..

Her base pay could hit the 1.5-1.7 range next year. Any school coming after Dawn is going to need to top that and very few can and/or are willing to for Women's Basketball.

You can repeat this until you are blue in the face. It'll never register.

Omg I remember that year!
Ukari Figgs
Steph White
Katie Douglas
Camille Cooper

They beat Us the first game of the year at Purdue in 1999.
Shoulda been us against them for the Championship!
Love Carolyn Peck though! Former Lady Vol Assistant under PS

I always heard you dance with the one that brung you. Well, Morgan William brung Vic Schaefer and he didn't dance with her in crunch time of the title game. It makes no sense and makes me think he has some kind of control freak problem. I actually started cheering for USC in the 4th quarter cause it pissed me off so bad. What he did was wrong and troubling and I would be disturbed if he were ever the coach of the LV's.

Dawn Staley wants to build her own dynasty, not take over a program that was built on the blood, sweat, and tears of Pat Summitt. Add in our lady's basketball coach is looking at being third on the pay scale in the best case scenario.

Holly makes too much money now, don't worry about her poor little ole self.

No College coach should be make more than a county cop, imho.

No one in sports should make more than our military men and women, imho.

It doesn't seem that the AD or his replacement is looking to replace Holly anytime soon. I try to stay out of those NUMEROUS discussions. We'll see what happens next season. Here's hoping for a positive turn.

Holly should probably use some of that money to hire some coaching help, like Staley did with Balcomb.

Cuevas ran circles around her, and William couldn't keep up. Cuevas and Harris just outplayed William and Dillingham. Wilson and Herbert Harrigan out played - McCown and Okori. Davis and Gray outplayed Vivians and Richardson. Staley and Balcomb outcoached Schafer. Schafer decides to have a hard practice after a tough emotional overtime win over undefeatable UConn. Staley has her team stretch and do yoga and light drills after a physical game against Stanford. Then Schafer decides to full court press in the 3rd quarter to try get back in. They have some success but SC survives it, now MSU is gassed.

So you are going to bench her the whole 4th qtr with 8 pts 4 asst becauyse you think she was being outplayed? Really? She's the teams heart and soul. Once Vic took her out the game the team lost confidence.

You are looking at the program as they sit at this moment. I hate identity politics but Dawn Staley is a game changer as you have your first African-American female coach to win a national title. On that fact alone she may have her pick of the next wave of young African American talent most of which sits in he NY to Atlanta cooridor which is an easy drive to Columbia. She has the buy in from her fan base as shown by the attendance numbers. Further she's a young coach. It's not completely unbelievable that she might finish her career in 20 years or so with 5 titles at SC. At that point South Carolina will stand beside Tennessee as the historical pillars of the SEC. if you have that vision what does Tennessee offer you that you can have at SC

Hate to say it but Carolyn Peck was the first African Amercian female to win a national title!

I know that the LV history is history. And I know that the USC history is now. Get it?

BTW, would you rather own a regular season victory over a team or own a victory in the championship game of the tournament? Rhetorical question. Your point has no merit.

Pat Summit was amazing. But there is a negative to the LV basketball job. You always will be chasing a ghost. At least for the near term. Win a national title, and the fans will yawn and say "get back to us when you win seven more."

It might take decades before we start seeing that kind of success again. Just look at the history of programs who have lost legendary coaches. There usually is a wilderness period before they regain their standing.
