Kellie Harper discussion/debate thread [merged]

[Dadof2Vols]

Hope Danny White is getting out fillers already the whole coaching staff needs to go

He is there to see this in person, hope he is enjoying the show

This is a terrible setback for Coach Kellie. Three starters have scored zero points. I know this is premature, but maybe she cannot lead the LVs to their former elite status and UT should consider a better coach in their system, like Shawn Poppie of UTC.

 

[Score50]

y’all can say what yall want about Kellie Harper and believe you me she deserves ALOT of scrutiny but when will these players start looking at themselves in the mirror. this passive D, no communication, no rebounding, no fight, NO DAWG mentally is ON THEM!

That all comes back to head coach. All of the things you mentioned comes back to the Head Coach.

Should have hired Jeff Walz when we had a chance. But heaven forbid a man coach the beloved lady vols. This program has been inept since she took over she needs to fire her husband and hire a recruiter/offensive coach.

Once everyone finally admitted Holly wasn’t the answer Walz had made UofL a better job and he lost all incentive to leave.

Wow

 

[Alto1]

The lady vols are a poorly coached team, period.
Ridiculously pathetic…..

 

[Butch s]

i just don’t think it’s be a good idea to fire her mid season. don’t know who would take over

Maybe the assistant in orange pants. At least she is aware of the university’s colors

Please hire Shawn Poppie as LV HC.

 

[AllVol68]

Teams reflect their coaching at this level. The university has every advantage financially and the support most universities would love to have.

 

[Wilk5]

Back to back turnovers and no emotion from KH

 

[Voluble2]

Would this be a good time to point out that I wanted Wes Moore back when Kellie was hired?

 

[brubaker]

Players have no discipline !
Coach Harper is as bad as a coach as she was as great as a player

 

[AllVol68]

She’s kinda pretty is the most positive thing I can say about her at this point.

 

[Memvol44]

Kellie has got to know her seat is hot.Im sure her heart is hurting for here beloved program. Big staff changes should be coming in the off season. Something has to change....Oh yes Kellie should get a tech or two. Fight for your players!

 

[LadyVol1908]

Please hire Shawn Poppie a future Wes Moore.

OMG, are you Shawn Poppie?!

Agree, except those changes should have happened long ago. No reason for her husband to be a bench coach and no reason for the rest of the staff to sit there watching.

 

[brittannica]

We still have a ton of issues, but seeing Key play this well has given me a boost of hope that if she continues on this trajectory, and we get Rickea back soon, we can have a strong finish to the season.

Which is both great and concerning because Kellie needs to go!

Maybe premature? She was mediocre to bad at NCSU and got herself fired. Why did anyone think it would be better here?

Good we getting dragged thru the mud

 

[cwbytruckers]

I vote for a raise for the coaches after this performance.

 

[SGMVols]

If Coach Kellie can't return the LVs to their former elite staus, and I did not say she can't do this, then I make a HC suggestion for Shawn Poppie at UTC. I believe he is a future Wes Moore. Small sample size to be sure.

We should be aiming higher than that.

 

[Caz]

Getting blown out at home against a #16 (no disrespect to Ohio State), with an apathetic crowd and not even competitive.
Program is in a death spiral! I really like Kelly and what’s she’s meant to this university, but this has to change.

 

[Memvol44]

I

Man Oh Man Substitutions timeouts game adjustments turnovers athleticism I have lowered my bar can't except much

Is your bar on the ground??? Lol

 

[Dadof2Vols]

One more year!

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Downside with having a former player coaching is fan’s being stuck with nostalgia and not knowing when it’s time to cut ties. If Kellie wasn’t a former player the pitchforks would’ve been out.
