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

[TrippieRedd]

is this a joke?

She's going to be leading the team for the next quarter century. Buckle up

 

[VolFuture]

The Lady Vol legacy is doomed if there is a majority of folks who hold this view. SMH.

He’s seeing the light

 

[Weezer]

All I know is DW needs to let us all know who the next Lady Vols coach is and soon. He has the baseball team so distracted they're losing to Auburn. Pretty sure I saw Burke in the dugout, on his phone, refreshing VN for the latest rumors. We can't go on like this!

And?

Very unimpressive and a clear indication that she is not ready for the SEC.

Folks may think this is funny, but this is the type of stuff that can impact a coaching search because people won't take the time to read that it's fake. They will take one glance and run with it, meanwhile TN's real target has to deal with it.

 

[VolFuture]

Yeah. Then I started doing research and realized I didn't mind her.

“Research”

I should've put "bag of lays" in all caps

same with 25 years contract. My bad

Love how games are being played now. Does anybody know except a few who has interviewed and who are really being considered. There are some outstanding coaches out there at every level. Some of course more proven at power 5 not sure who will be coach but I for one will welcome and support regardless of level there from. Relax everyone. In CHRIST Alone

You think fan sentiment actually affects what happens on the court?

 

[House|RockyTop]

You all wouldn’t believe what I just noticed.. take away the Lady Vols fanatics on Twitter bashing and 85-90% of the discussion surrounding Kim Caldwell as Tennessee’s potential new head coach is positive reviews. Everyone says she is an excellent basketball mind. I believe she is basically poised to become a Niele Ivey and Becky Hammon clone as an innovative coach. People just haven’t seen her coach. Her style is what you see in the NBA and WNBA. And with the NIL collective expect her to hit the ground rolling and dominate the portal.

Why?

I think that if a majority of fans think it's "ok" for THE Tennessee Lady Vols to go out and hire a coach with one year of experience in Division one, then we deserve the misery that will come as a result of that action.

Which is a massive improvement over what he inherited

Cornbread? Virtually anyone who played hs football and has a passing knowledge of the English language would be a massive improvement.
Caveat I like JH but let’s admit he had a pretty low bar.

Oh look - ANOTHER Lady Vol insider. This one has been telling us for days - "JUST WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE NUMBERS. This hire is going to blow you away" now telling us to "get on board" with hiring Marshall's coach...

Insider my ***

 

[House|RockyTop]

What does how many years a person been a head coach really matters if they can COACH? Simplistic thinking is not erasing the capabilities of this coach if indeed the rumors are true. 85-90% of the reviews on Twitter outside of the fanatics have been very positive. DW knows this too.

 

[mike099]

Is NIL money by donors a tax deduction?

 

[LakesiteVol]

I was just sitting here thinking, if there was a Volnation site when Pat was hired what would people have said about hiring a 22 year old woman?

 

[Lucy]

We’ve got to get the “old guard” out to return to success.

Okay, you get your checkbook out.

 

[Volstylexx]

House|RockyTop's post yesterday...

A well paid winning coach could upgrade, NIL, and win their way out of decline on Rocky Top. Like Angel Reese says,” get your money up lol.” The check done cleared!
This is ridiculous at this point the fake and played up drama from a few in the fanbase now is comical at best. All I’m waiting for at this point is the announcement. I trust my sources. The designated hitter DW for a grand slam is a done deal!
I will be back later. Enjoy the rest of your week Vol Nation! Tennessee women’s basketball is officially back. GBO!

Now they're back with that grand slam hire from Marshall!

 

[Weezer]

People need to lighten up and unclench their butt cheeks.

 

[House|RockyTop]

I asked you all what do you call your designated hitter at the plate with the bases loaded? A grand slam!

 

[volfan102455]

Very different times.

 

[FormerLadyVolFan]

Yeah and it's 'Board of Trustees', not 'Board of Governors'.

Pretty good fake though...with a bag of Lay's!

25 year deal

I should've put "bag of lays" in all caps

same with 25 years contract. My bad

She's going to be leading the team for the next quarter century. Buckle up!

Probably, "Women can play basketball?"
