LA Vol said:
The Haslams and football boosters don't care who coaches WBB. The LVs have no big money donors. UT used to be one of only three WBB programs with more than $1M in annual donations, but those days are long gone. Pat was the donations driver for the LVs program. People supported her, and WBB benefited. Now a lot of that money goes to her foundation and endowments.

Are you saying that Fulmer doesn't have an unlimited pile of money to throw at a women's basketball coach?

I think it's short sighted to focus only on the money that it takes to get a top coach. Take care of the winning and the money will follow through a reversal of sagging season ticket sales, increased concessions, and merchandising royalties. Fulmer should not let the special program Pat built completely die in an effort to save a couple million at the outset.

Then we forget Walz and go after Mulkey, who has two NC with a third on the horizon.

I think it is unfair to assume that a Jolly-Harper hire will be a disaster. Initially, it would be better to hire a successful Power Five coach, however, we have no sure bet one will accept the job. Instead of worrying about a Jolly-Harper hire maybe we need to wait and see.

I think if we had someone that would stop by his office and write him a check for about 15 million he would hire Walz just on that gesture alone especially if the reason for giving him the money was to guarantee he hire Walz. I doubt we have anybody that will do that who really cares enough about the women's game to let go of the money.

I am tired of four years of mediocracy and have all but quit watching as it is so depressing. Let’s hire him so we can play Tennessee Waltz at home games!
