Some said that about Warlick: "Oh, if only she'll bring in a great assistant coach".....essentially meaning, "Oh, if only she'd hire an assistant who's a better coach than she is, we'll improve." That's not the way it's supposed to work. Many suddenly want to make the husband the scapegoat. That should stop.

Understand your point.

My point was maybe if she is not growing/changing maybe she needs non yes people on her staff and for that strategy to work John would need to be off staff to keep him from just telling her she is right and the challenger is wrong.

I expect the Lady Vols to win this by double digits and all the CKH supporters will start yelling she righted the ship. Well first off she might plug the hole but this ship is still on its way down. Expect 10 to 14 losses this season. I see at least 7 to 9 more given losses this season. When that happens i hope everyone gets on board with a new coach outside the CPS tree.

Hel yes. Jon should be a real man like me.
If wife and I argue I always get the last word in. Usually "yes dear".

I’m a Kellie supporter (a disgruntled one at the moment) but I’m actually a bit nervous for this game. We haven’t looked good at all the last couple games. If we come out flat like we did against Ohio State it could be a frustrating day.

Agree.

Top 3 in the SEC and another sweet 16 and Kellie would be under no pressure. This is not the Tennesssee of 1990's and WCBB is way more competitive so (as Stanford and Duke can attest) Sweet 16 births are not guaranteed.

If she falls below that standard, particularly the sweet 16, I do think her leash gets shortened and feelers would go out. The timing on the Holly firing was a problem. The administration waited until the wheels came totally off and then it was a mad scramble to find a replacement.

Mad, you and I don't always agree, but we are thinking alike on this one for sure!

AD has to already have feelers out or he isn’t doing his job especially after tonight.

Fire Holly - all well and good, but who will they get at this point? Middle of the season-ish? If they wait till the end of the year, could they lure Kara away from Duke? I'm oddly pining for the days of Holly - at least the recruiting was exciting. Under Kelly, nothing is exciting...

The crap if it all is I'm not even shocked.
Like the team,,,I have no emotion right now

I disagree. They do have emotion - scared, aprehensive, shell-shocked. They've pretty much been that way since Rickea went out and Memphis took them to OT.

Just can't wrap my head around Jewel stepping back in this circumstance and not up. That has been a killer.

Another poster stated if CKH led team to Sweet 16 again ...
AD White wouldn't fire her....

Well she better hope and pray , Lady Vols get a top 4 seed in one of the regions, because if they are a 5 or lower turn out the lights ....

Round of 32 exit, this team isn't beating a top team in NCAA on their home court ...

The only thing I wonder at this point is will the end be as messy as Holly's?

2016

"The Lady Vols fell out of the poll because of their loss to a then 8-18 LSU squad on Sunday afternoon that dropped the Vols to 16-11 on the season and 7-7 in conference play. Those 11 losses tie the school’s record for most losses in a season, and the seven SEC losses are the most in a single season in program history."
