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

[Vfl83]

I would love to get Frese... Coach Barnes type of hire.

 

[jsc1973]

C’mon man. Everyone would be on board, but the likelihood of that happening? We need to find the next one.

I never advocated for trying to hire Staley now. That wasn't the point of what I was responding to. She isn't going anywhere but Columbia. The point was that she was a "home run hire" when SC got her.

He’d do better now that The Strip is overhauled with apartments and not his watering holes of old where he was known to give and do body shots.

Hey, it’s the only place where his shots had a good chance of going in

Lost our best player for big chunks of the year the last three years. But you keep believing that was no big deal.
Looks like it will be cloudy on Monday for the eclipse, damn that Kellie!

Well okay then ....sorry about all the excuses for 5 years ...there was or were always something

I’d imagine this goes on at every college. It’s a cut throat profession for sure.

Not with Summitt. Not at Tennessee. Pat was better than that. And while Pat was our coach, Tennessee was better than that.

If we're no longer about that kind of integrity, then so be it. But that's a choice. Not a requirement.

I just checked the Marshall message board and they say Kim Stephens is a done deal to us.

They read it here.

He also "heard" that Kellie was safe right up to the day she was fired..

It did not back then. Today with the transfer portal that is likely a different story.

 

[woodpusher]

The more I read their forum, the more I'd like to trade some of our fans for theirs. LOL

I think they've already been traded. They don't sound like the "We Are Marshall!" crowd to me.

 

[OrangeInKy]

For good reason. Double chili cheese burger in one hand…signed MOU in the other.

That’s just good business. I went to the one in Kennesaw one time because it was closer to where I lived then. It felt like cheating.

Not the only one…we had a few here. Am I right!

Totally agree with that. Pat was a whole different breed. She was a saint. But times have changed since then and it’s pretty much win at all cost these days.

Fair. . I’m hoping he’s right this time.

What's with all the hype about Gottlieb? I don't get it. Solid coach--but what has she done that is special? There are a dozen coaches
with a similar CV.

I think, in her case, it's the hope that she can bring some of her players with her (e.g. Watkins, Forbes and Marshall)

 

[DeerPark12]

@DeerPark12 has been well respected on here for as long as I can remember. SO much so, that when he told me I was overthinking it about the PR signs signaling Danny White was going to fire Kellie... I actually quit posting for several days. That's how much I respect him.

Regardless of the outcome, you were still way overthinking it. Go back and find a previous year where posts like where you were suggesting were made, it doesn’t exist.

Final 4 at Cal, Elite 8 this year, elite recruiter (has #1 freshman this year) and #1 recruiting class for 2024. Was assistant coach in NBA. Considered one of the top minds in the game right now.

Yes, you are!

Whatcha gonna do with all the prize money?

I’ve been fairly impressed with her recruiting as of late.

We really thinking Hammon is in play? She’s who I’d for sure take as my Number 1 ( if no Staley or Mulkey in play )

 

[DeerPark12]

My issue is when when posters build a reputation on being “in the know” and then go ghost whenever they’re wrong. It really is ok to own it.

If someone has sources/contacts that the average fan doesn’t, cool. But don’t make definitive statements as if you heard something directly from the source (aka Danny). And then back-track when wrong.

When have I ever gone “ghost” here? I’ve been here all week.

I never said she was guaranteed to be back or guaranteed to be gone. I just said looking for clues on an official account social media is silly, because the people that run the account have absolutely no idea what an Athletic Director is thinking. They have end of season posts planned out weeks in advance, with all various outcomes planned for.

I don’t think anyone really knows, lol

 

[creekdipper]

I'm going to guess that an interview was never offered...

My guess is that Kara came in, saw Bugs waiting in the hotel lobby, and left.

 

[Majors]

Yes, you are!

Beauty, we all win. Id reinvest into the community. No new material for CKH to the board good or bad in regards to being the HC.
