Game Thread: Tennessee Lady Vols (12-6, 5-1) @ Ole Miss (14-5, 4-2) ESPN 3:00PM EST 01-28-2024.

Got to let the season play out. No one on here can fire anybody. No one is getting fired until the season is over. If you think you have the pull to get it done now then call Danny White he is the man that controls the situation. For now it is what it is if you can't take it then probably should find something else to do.

 

[Coach Jumper]

Damn right. Just because you were a good player don’t make you a coach

worth say twice

 

[Majors]

They weren’t good at all. If they combined can’t give us 10-12 and then throw in Puckett. Those 4 should give us 15-20 and 10 rebounds and the minimum.

Spear picked up the difference to keep it close.

 

[Twinsbornoncampus]

Maybe we need to go outside the Lady
Vol tree for a coach. I really wish Harper
Could have turned the program around.

I used to think Candace was more but when I hear her say we should make the same as NBA players percentage wise I can no longer see her as a coach. A coach has to live in reality. I think.

 

[gule]

Sad day to be a Vol.

 

[Butch s]

I said that the other day and got scolded from some posters.

Was “coach” jumper one of them

 

[Vfl2407]

What’s the worse that can happen with firing her?

There is no downside.
If the powers that be insist on another former player, go with Kara.
If not, forget about UT ties and insisting on a female and find the best coach available.

LOL, why would she not think she should make as much as an NBA players. it’s her money. if i was her, i’d think the same.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

I’m just going to say it, only Spear needs to be on this roster next season. We need to bring in a whole new roster.

Tennessee is where you come now to get the soul snatched out your game. Please let the portal girls save themselves from the heartache that is a Kellie Harper helmed offense and defense.

NO!

 

[Deebowbear]

Who the heck teaches rebounding discipline on this team?

What does each assistant coach or teach on this team because there bad

 

[pasadenavol]

Show me where I said it was acceptable. That has nothing to do with my comment.

You criticized 'drive by' fans coming here to dump on the LVs. Doubt that anyone really would make the effort to post unless the actually do care about the program...

 

[VolballTN]

Spears has 30 points. Striplin & Powell are 4-18 on FGs and 0-0 on FTs. Spears needs some help.

Powell is just a ball hog. Takes shots that make no sense. Always nice when your point guard leads the team in turnovers. Striplin can play, I think she just knows that she will be pulled after 2-3 mins of play whether she’s 5-5 or 0-5.

 

[Deebowbear]

Nobody; but at least let them start building a team and culture because this isn’t going to get better and Texas/Oklahoma are coming soon… make the change now.

This 100%

 

[knoxvol52]

I’ll take Candace, the elite players still know her and are fans of her, that might help us get them here.

Candace has a great job and makes more money at TNT and NBA.TV.

Don't think she would want to leave that cushy job to dive into this pressure cooker..

2 type of coaches we could bring in, a coach that has elite stars already and they transfer with them, or a coach like coach Yo for example, that can build a roster but lack a star, but they will be able to attract stars by coming to Tn. Just imaging a rister like Ole Miss with Rickea on it.

Not fair. JP has played great lately. And always plays hard. She had a bad day today.

Strip OTOH, has not really played well in a while.

 

[Deebowbear]

LSU and Texas waiting patiently

Vandy at vandy look out

 

[glv98]

Vandy at vandy look out

Yep. We have to win out until we get to LSU/So Car, and that game is one I'm most worried about.

 

[Deebowbear]

Yes GA Ark Mizz Texas A&M icing is Vandy.

Probably lose 3 of those

I can't think of anyone that would want the job for what it pays right now. Plus AD's at football schools don't like to pour a lot of money into non revenue sports. If they wanted the Lady Vols to do better then we need NIL money for the program to make the top players want to come here.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

I didnt see the game but from what I read on here, the coach lost it. Players had nothing to do with it.

Funny, some on here blame players and some blame coach.

Reality is, it is always some of both but the difference is where the buck stops. The coach recruits and decides who plays and for how long not to mention sets the strategy and makes in game calls and changes.

End of day, buck stops with CKJH.

Been saying this all year. Run down the court and if you don’t dribble the ball out of bounds of your leg, just try and throw the ball up in the general vicinity of the goal and hope it goes in

 

[Orange_Mamba]

But if your Tennessee and you let her ride until the end of the year, you gotta to start putting out fillers to see what shakes. Light some kind of fire under Kellie and the assistants. Because the whole staff don’t look like they’re fighting to keep their jobs.

 

[Deebowbear]

They jump on me as well, but I just call it how I see it.

That’s what I do also I don’t think a a lot of posters on here want to admit how bad this team is at times. All you have to do is watch
