Many of you clowns will be eating your words soon. Danny White hired up & comers Nate Oates and Lance Leipold at Buffalo and look what those guys have done in recent years in men’s basketball and football. He did the same thing hiring Josh Huepel. I also understand both Buffalo and UCF’s women’s basketball have improved with hires he made at those institutions.

And for someone like me who’s a casual observer of women’s basketball, I’ll probably watch more because at least Kim Caldwell is an attractive lady. Guessing that’s what many in the LV mafia have against her.

i wouldn’t say his WBB hire at UCF has improved. she’s been pretty bad at georgia. his WBB hire at buffalo has been mediocre at syracuse. she had a good year this year, but their star player is now gone. expect to see them drop off. nate oates was a great find. don’t follow football so idk anything about his football hires. i hope CKC works out, but it’ll be a developing story as she goes through her first season.

That last paragraph made everything else u say invalid. I promise her being attractive has nothing to do with peoples worry of her. Most people have a genuine concern of if her coaching and recruiting will work for a team like tennessee. Her looks won’t make her a good coach or save her from being fired. Again tho, i have faith in DW and hope she works out. She seems like a genuine lady

Got you dancing like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Still trying to dance out of your support for KC and the LV Program failing? Your silence on that inconvenient truth is deafening.

Own it or denounce it. Or continue on with your feckless avoidance of it.

I think we know what you’ll choose.

She has no link to Pat is what a lot of people have against her. Kellie did, was a likable person and unfortunately had mediocre results partially due to her failures partially due to things beyond her control. If Lawson was hired a lot of the Kellie fans would be on board wishing her well. Caldwell people have taken apart at every opportunity; hurts the program but those “fans” don’t care.

It doesn’t take a genius to see a person who looks nervous and not confident. She actually looked like she wanted to cry. If she unfortunately read Volnation this week, she knows her name mentioned for the job was considered a joke.

I hope she gets herself together and just says ‘no’ to constantly being on camera, and I hope she has what it takes to recruit over certain players she met today. She needs some alone time to pull herself together, and fight.

She will ease into it. I’m sure the media spotlight is way more intense than she’s ever dealt with before.

Wrong on every count. I wanted them to go outside the Pat family. And I did not want Kara Lawson. I wanted a coach with proven winning ability at the highest level. In a million years I never expected a long, long shot. Also nothing said here hurts or helps the program in any way.

Not to mention it was the first time she had walked into that gym and that locker room. Had to be a lot to take in all of a sudden. Anyone in her place would have been awed. I think she will be fine!

Yeah, for someone who spent three posts talking about how "hot" Mark Sear's mom is, that last paragraph pretty much sums up the extent of your interest in women's sports.

Borne out by your near-complete absence from the Lady Vols forum over the past year. Have to agree with your self-description as a "casual observer."

PLease read my post again. I didn't say he was bad, incompetent or anything negative at all. I said he was good. But it is a stretch to call him the best AD in the country. Please take off your homer glasses. The Georgia AD has presided over 2 National championships in football. The Alabama AD has presided over multiple NC's in several sports. How many NC's has DW presided over?UMMM 0. Again has he done a good job so far? Yes without a doubt. Would I like him to continue to to be successful? Yes without a doubt. But to crown him the best AD in all of the NCAA is simply wrong and a gross overstatement. There are currently other more long term more successful AD's out there whether you choose to believe it or not.

OMG you didn’t say DW was anything but the second coming did you?!? Flying monkeys are on their way to you!

A few Marshall fans are using that term to describe Kim for leaving them after one season. Remember the burning mattress when Kiffin did the same thing to us?

Most others have a more understanding take and congratulate her and express appreciation for the one season she gave them.

Our players seemed happy when greeting her and eager to get started. A couple of Marshall fans accused her of running off some Marshall players and commits who didn't fit her system (not uncommon action by new coaches). I'm sure our returning players are anxious to see how they'll fit into her system.

We'll also see if she adapts to players' strengths and continues to press, run, and platoon.

Do we know whether she has met with the team yet? I imagine seeing the banners in TBA may have been overwhelming and exciting.
Never mind! Missed above video. Sorry.
