It's time.... bring home the prodigal son...Mr Tyler Summitt

Honestly, no clue. I don’t follow the women’s game beyond the LVs. I can just imagine DWs wife’s response if Miller steps off the plane. “Really?” But DW has a talent for picking coaches so we’ll see.

I agree. She’s an up and comer, might work out, might not. No harm no foul. There are other options that may come at a different price tag. Thus…we wait. We’ll see. I only know one thing…we’ll know when we know. It’s simply fodder at this point.

.843 winning percentage as a head coach? Who you got?

Rick Barnes?

This will go over well. I suggested this a few months ago and responses were classic.

What’s the attraction to Molly Miller beside the obvious?

What's the obvious?

Stop acting like that’s against big time competition. It’s not. Highly doubt DW goes for an unknown up and comer. We need someone who had won at the highest levels.

What’s he done to deserve the job?

no

Did I say he should be the coach, like everyone else just slinging **** at the wall.

Unfortunately, Finley Chastain, a generational player potentially on par with CC, has reopened her recruiting because of Kellies release.

No guarantees she would've held to her commitment. 4 years is a long time and other schools would have come hard.

Would you have said that about Candace Parker?

Sir, this joke is a day late

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Not at all. I was just defending successful coaches at smaller programs from the attacks of those who scorn their ability as though they don't know what they're doing and that their coaching methods can't translate to larger programs.

 

[House|RockyTop]

Funny thing about this conversation about a future commit reopening their recruitment is while being committed for two years not many people on here acknowledge it. They talked around it. Now these same people are referencing it. Well either way the new coach will recruit THEIR players. I’m sure she will be recruited by the new staff.

This is correct, so why freak out over something that was going to happen to start with when the termination of Kellie happened?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Would you have said that about Candace Parker?

Absolutely. Any great coach would tell you the same thing. It sucks losing potentially great talent. But that’s to be expected when a coaching change happens. Also, it depends on who DW hires. She may very well come back.

 

[glv98]

I agree. She’s an up and comer, might work out, might not. No harm no foul

Couldn't disagree more. There's possible irrepairable harm to a foul this time.

We can't wait, and it has to be as close to a home run huge hire as humanly possible. And bring big talent along. Or we're in big trouble.

My one comfort in this is I know DW knows this and don't believe he would have thrown a grenade in on things without a plan.

I agree that that's toward the top of the list although not as important as character. Some people seem willing to put up with any slimeballs as long as they win. Thankfully, you don't have to sacrifice integrity in order to win.

As for not being against "big time competition," that's a circular argument. You can only be judged by how you have performed against the competition you've faced.

Dalton Knecht would never have been recruited to Tennessee if he had been judged only by the level of competition he had faced throughout his career to that point.

Again, I simply ask who you got? Who’s your pick, money is no issue?

Who do you think is a home run hire?

Be sensible also, we all know Dawn Staley would laugh if Tennessee offered her the job.
