Fantastic double digit loss

 

[lvocd]

Here's a positive: It wasn't on ESPN!

 

[TN1111]

This is now nine (9) losses all-time vs Alabama to 54 wins for TN. Seven (7) of those 9 losses have occurred under Warlick and Harper.

Kelli husband and assistant manage the subs. A mess. But she is overall coach.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

“A” for effort.

 

[Ratvol]

Close game.

Keep recruiting clone players in the portal

 

[brittannica]

Well. I’m going to wash my face and call it a night. Disappointing to see bits of effort and success and then complete lapses.

 

[LadyVol1908]

Maybe call a timeout she has 4 going home with her..

Now you know damn well that wasn’t happening!

 

[turbovol]

Just another example of why we're a pretender: We come out in the 3rd quarter and are embarrassingly bad, in every way. Standing around
on offense, bad decisions, bad passes, bad shots, turnovers; can't defend on the other end. Just totally lame. Lose the quarter by 14, lose the game.

 

[RAVOL]

Bad Bad effort tonight. This was first on players they have to come play with effort and focus they did not. Coaches can't play for them but they have to be better at getting this team ready. Really bad 3rd quarter standing around like no coaching done in locker room. Overall stinker. We will be better Sunday. In CHRIST Alone

 

[turbovol]

This is agregious. I mean did Harper just throw this game?

You mean Egregious.

Give Bama at least a little credit. They always play tough, have lots of quickness, and are relentless. They deserved the huge win.

Dude if it wasn’t for the portal players we’ll be losing every night by 51 pts!

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Fire her and go get Wes Moore or Jeff Walz both wanted the job after Holly Warlick and now it’s going to cost us more to get them but write the check please..

I'll take that. Even VT coach

 

[dillyo51]

This comeback is just evidence of how good this team could be and should be!

You have to be joking.

 

[LasVegasBill23]

They can’t recruit well enough to do so. This is as good as it gets for Kellie.

And let’s remembered, this roster was preseason #4. I’m not so sure it’s the players.

and of course the focus on coaching not all about recruiting i have not taken inventory of alabama roster but i think it is not full of blue chippers

Bama was actually trash. I’m not just saying that in the heat of the moment. They just didn’t impress me at all. Tennessee literally played like this was an exhibition game. No kind of enthusiasm. No talking. No sense of desire to compete. The first 6 or 7 minutes was the only point in this game where I saw the team competing. That’s on coaching to me.

 

[SGMVols]

"nice crowd on a thursday night" GIVE ME A ****!**!*!*!* break

It looked like there were less than 100 people there on TV

I don’t want to hear Kellie talk about how hard road games are after this one. They were playing in an empty gym. That wasn’t a factor.

 

[VolBalls33]

Ugly loss. UT won't win many games when Spear and RJ have off games. Darby almost had all zeroes across the stat sheet. Kellie needs a 1 on 1 with her and either not play her anymore or see something better. Bama does have a tough squad and a good combo in Barker and Nye.

The coaching was even worse than the players ....course that is just my opinion.

 

[UT Challenger]

Vanderbilt and Texas A&M are must wins now

This was a must win

 

[SGMVols]

Yall keep talking about the lineup like Kellie has a choice, the starters needed a breather. She had to put somebody in.

You can’t play Wynn, Hollingshead, and Darby together down 9 with 4 minutes left. You just can’t. You have to have your best 5 out there and ask them to play a little tired. That decision may well have cost us the season.
