You had to dig deep to come up with this negative comment. Wow, a one game judgement, congrats.

To be fair, you don't have to dig deep. There's no deep to dig. The VT game and an early season awful game against Wake Forest are the only Marshall games available to watch. Also, sometimes one game can say it all, hell even 1.1 seconds can say it all, right?

That said, I don't think the VT meltdown is the complete story on CKC or Marshall at all. But it does raise a legit concern - what happens against a more talented team who doesn't allow you to control tempo. Reasonable to think that will happen alot in the SEC. But the good news is the experienced SEC asst coaches are well aware of that and I'm sure a better plan B is in the works.

Why do you think that?

The woman hasn’t won a game at Tennessee. Hasn’t even coached a scrimmage at Tennessee. Yet, people are proclaiming her to be a home run hire, CPS reincarnated to a lesser degree. When she isn’t winning what many thinks she should, the end of year two she will be on the hot seat. Vol fans are great but they lack patience.

Nice backhanded pro Kelly comeback, congrats.

It's not a contest. One is gone. It's entirely possible to have a question about our new coach with no agenda except how our season is going to go.

Believe it or not, we are not obliged to either worship or loathe the new system and coach. Lots of middle ground.

She has 4 very good and athletic players to run an offense designed to tire out the foe
She has retained all but one of the former players (and that player, Karoline, would have had a tough time with a speed-game).
She put an SEC caliber staff together in two weeks and they have done wonders.
Her recruits from HS haven't even been revealed yet and I know one of the top 15 for 2025 is leaning heavily this way

She can't win over everybody and (even Jesus couldn't do that)
of course Jesus had Judas
and she has, well, figure it out

Lots of love for a coach that hasn’t accomplished anything

You are doing the exact same thing but in the opposite direction. The anti-LV direction.

Further I see plenty taking an optimistic but wait and see approach.

It’s certainly not harming anyone or anything to take a more optimistic view of the future. It’s actually quite common for loyal fans in every sport at every level to loudly, proudly, openly brag about how great their coach and their players are and how absolutely, positively they are going to kick @ss in the upcoming season.

Seriously. You can look it up. Fans are most happy when they’re talking up their team. It’s fun to hope for the best and talk about it with other loyal fans. It’s not like it’s some disease that will eat your internal organs if you read some premature bragging and hopefulness. You will be okay. I promise.

All that matters is the administrations feelings on her performance…. the fans opinion won’t matter.

Judas was part of the plan, so Jesus did win... obviously.

The Ultimate Winner.

If you're not excited yet about Coach Caldwell, you soon will be. For my part, I'm already 100% in her corner. Since the day she was announced as HC she has delivered (and then some) every time she steps to the plate (different sport yeah... shout out to Vols baseball...). This is the start of a very enjoyable and enduring ride, so get on board...

Caldwell has the potential to become the Tony Vitello coaching clone of the Lady Volunteers.

Tennessee in Women’s basketball is like Kentucky in men’s ball as far as expectations. In other words She is on the hot seat from day 1.Coaching at Tennessee is the biggest job on the biggest stage in women’s college ball. Any early loss will ramp up the pressure.

I am optimistic based upon seeing what she has done for the past couple of months. Not ready to proclaim her the next Pat Summit yet. I guess I have cautious optimism and patience to see how it plays out. This has definitely got me interested in them this year.

These transfers so far are nearly perfect for what Coach Caldwell wants to do. These are elite athletes who can score in transition and guard.

Plus, we retained two really good shooters from the perimeter. We need one more shooter and I'm surprisingly (to me) confident that we'll go further next year than we did this year.

I mean it's Marshall vs VA Tech, that ain't exactly a level playing field. How many players on that Marshall team were ACC caliber?? Tbh this current roster is probably has the most talent she has ever had on 1 team.
