Kim Caldwell (Rookie Coach of the Year-WBCA) is named Head Coach of Iconic Lady Vols WBB

[WVU05UT09]

And to the dozen or so other up and comers and mid majors with actual D1 experience who would be far better risks if we must gamble.

No offense to this lady, but we should literally make a call to half the P5 coaches before getting to her.

 

[Vol67]

Wrong. Plenty of examples of coaches in all sports who can’t coach at any level.

Yep

 

[UTtoDC]

This ain’t it. I would be so disappointed if this is the direction DW goes in.

 

[Grahamland]

I’m curious if Kim’s named was leaked because Danny knows the coach isn’t going to be a home-run type hire, so he leaked Kim’s name so whoever is hired automatically seems like a step up. Precaution for tempering expectations? Haha

 

[Orange007]

Here's the thing we need a big hire to bring big recruits in THIS year. Otherwise we are looking at "rebuild" project that could span years without any real guarantee that it will even work. This is really the biggest hire in the history of women's sports at UT. I just have to believe DW has it together.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

If it is her this will be a repeat in 4 to 5 years.

DW deserves fired if true but West is never reliable

This is one of the dumbest things I have read in awhile. Congrats. Fire one of the best ADs in the nation because he doesn’t get the coach that you want.

It would be....something....if Kentucky hired Brooks and we ended up with a coach who cut her teeth for several years at Glenville State followed by--count 'em--a whole, entire one year at Marshall. That might dull the White shine just a bit....

Or enhance the gleam !!!!

Heard the same edict about Heupel.

That is highly possible

No because he lied

What does DW taste like?

 

[leeeda97]

Let me be clear, I do not view Kara’s status as a former player as a negative vis a vis candidacy for this job.

I’m just not sold she’s a better coach than the one we just fired.

Duke’s offense can be flat out painful at times. They’ve had 11 games in 3 years where they’ve failed to reach 50 points.

Not denying the offense looks ugly at times, but How many of those 11 were last season vs this season....10 last season, 1 this season

 

[creekdipper]

I know most of you won’t believe me… but…. tonight I spoke with a friend who is a donor….and it turns out a large number of donors who give A LOT have been unhappy with Kellie and Jon….who have not been warm, remember donor names, etc. like Pat did. They have been complaining to DW. So, finally, DW talked with the players, who had nothing much good to say about Kellie and Jon.

It’s hard to believe because Kellie’s publicist persons is all smiles.

So where is all this latter information coming from? How would this source know what the players said to White?

What if she wins?

Lol no.

 

[Orange007]

White doesn’t leak.

I agree but creating leverage at the end can close a big deal in any situation.

 

[Vol67]

Lol no.

Yes

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Yes

It's WBB...... as long as football is going in the right direction, he's safe

 

[JohnnyD1024]

No because he lied

What did he lie about?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Maybe. I just think nobody knows anything at this point. Between this thread and Twitter Inhave seen some of the dumbest comments. Not talking about you by the way.

I disagree. He created a goal for himself as AD to make teams championship caliber. We'll see how it goes.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Whatever dude .

I completely agree pal!
