Danny shot himself in the face by giving her a contract extension. I'm sure Kellie convinced him she needed it so that recruits would come if there were coaching stability at UT. Well guess what - we still don't have a top 20 recruiting class according to ESPN.

He's got a big fat egg sitting on his face that needs to be wiped off. Unless there's a complete 180 during conference play, she gone...

Contract extensions for P5 teams are meaningless. Pay the buyout and move on.

Yeah I do not want another Lady Vol. It’s too hard to see them try and fail. It’s just not meant to be.

The only one I could imagine is Alex Simmons but she does not have enough experience. Her teams play hard but she’s never led a program anywhere near this. We need someone who understands winnng at the P5 level. That isn’t going to come from the Lady Vol coaching tree.

Candace Parker?

I hope your right! This is exactly why I’m against the hiring of VFL’s...because it hurts too damn much to have to let them go! I have fond memories of Kelly Jolly and that’s kinda how I’d like to keep it, not her getting fired and Vol fans turning on her!😞

Amen to that. Will always love her, but this level of play isn’t up to the brand standard.

It isn’t even up to the top 25 standard, clearly.

I don’t think there is any chance she’d go for that. If she would, then yes. But I would be terrified for her. She’s the only one confident enough and with a large enough profile to attract recruits.

But it could be another Lindsey Whalen thing. That had to be tough for Minnesota.

She would get the recruits, and I guarantee you she would show that Pat Summit fire on the sidelines. Would those attributes outweigh the negatives of no coaching experience.. probably not, but it would be a hire that could re-invigorate the program over the first two years. If she won some games, I think she could get us back to the promised land, otherwise, we're back to firing a Lady Vol GOAT in 5 years.

That anyone anywhere would suggest hiring yet another former LV player, and one with zero coaching experience to boot, is just gobsmacking to me. The definition of insanity.

Out shot us, out hustled us and out coached us. MTSU wanted it more and that’s the concerning part for the roster we have.

Striplin playing like an All American kept it closer than what it could have been if she just goes for average

When Strip got here I told my daughter to watch her because she has very good fundamentals and will do well against teams who aren't a lot more athletic than she is, but will struggle against teams with athletic posts or who outsize her.

She always gives good effort and plays hard. I am very happy to see her have a big game. She deserves it and has put in the work.
