Actually, I'm not trolling you. Because this isn't the first time that you said that Holly had results that "other programs were begging for". Maybe Alabama, but do you think that Louisville, ND, UConn, Baylor, SC or any other top 10 teams are looking at Tennessee like they are an aspirational target? So it seems that instead of looking at the state of the program and wondering why it's fallen from their 2000s peak, stagnated at that lower level, and then dropped even further, I hear a lot of "but our results are better than 341 other teams out there!".
As for the Baylor example, sure Kim hasn't made a FF since her last tournament...but a.) she won a NC in the past 5 years and b.) after she lost Griner and Baylor was in rebuilding mode, she exceeded expectations by rolling through the B12, getting her team ranked higher than they were in the beginning of the season, and falling short against UConn and ND among others in the tournament. That's actually a better coaching job than taking a team with 7 McD AA, losing to a bunch of unranked teams, falling out of the rankings, and stumbling into the E8 only to get absolutely destroyed by an inexperienced tournament team. Frankly, I don't care if Kim is "half the person Holly is.". I'm sure she's a very nice person, but they are in different stratosphere's when it comes to coaching abilities.
If you are happy to lower expectations for the Lady Vols and throw your support behind Holly no matter how she does...that's fine. We're all entitled to our opinions. Just don't be surprised if the rest of the posters who are dying to get the program back to where it should be won't toe that line with you.
Truthfully, Holly is lucky that WCBB isn't taken nearly as seriously as MCBB...because she would have been fired after last season given the prominence of the program name, the level of talent on the team and the poor results.
