Some more stuff White shared with you? You are such a connected dude.

You can check things I’ve shared over the last three years in football, recruiting or basketball forums and decide for yourself. It didn’t come from White, but it came from someone very connected who has given me 100% accurate information before. He’s swinging for a big candidate.

Just to state the blatantly obvious reality-- The biggest PR blunder in history would be UT hiring a man for this job. The position is the most important in women's basketball. Giving it to a man would be a big orange train wreck.

Yep, cause men cannot coach BB. Almost cannot make this stuff up, almost, apparently

Watching her team last night they sure do not pass my eye test. Great talent on her squad and very young they just did not look fundamentally sound. LG checks a lot of boxes on my wish list. Young, Pro Ball experience, head coaching experience, great recruiter. The team did not look fundamentally sound to me.

How many games have you watched Dawn team play. They struggle with fundamentals as well but overwhelme their opponents. There are no perfect coaches period but give me a coach who can recruit and what I know big money donors will give to NIL so making job much easier as well putting 12k fans back in Food City and much more for Big games. In CHRIST Alone

Just saw that Eric Musselman is set to interview for the open USC men’s job.

I bring this up because that hire would cost USC a ton of money, as Musselman currently makes over $4 million a year at Arkansas.

Could they still afford a bidding war against us over Gottlieb?

Your stuff checks out. Anyone that follows what you post knows that. This is a tough crowd, just days ago they were laughing like a pack of wild hyenas over the thought that a lack of social media posts meant anything.

Becky ain’t coming here y’all. Pro coaches rarely leave for college because of the recruiting grind.

She’s on top of the world in the W right now. She won’t leave a dynasty for us.

But only a female? That is so, so disappointing. I thought we were finally, finally free.

I always smile at the claims that Pat would not want a male coach. Her son was one, and not only was she fine with it, she hoped to coach with him some day.

Everyone's an expert on what Pat would want. But I swear I think Pat would want us to stop limiting ourselves, as we've done every damn time before. The very definition of insanity.

USC is loaded. Just depends what they want to spend money on.

Noone here believes she will truly take the job, but there is absolutely no reason we dont kick the tires here and gauge interest. One of the most prestigious programs in the history of Women's basketball wants you to be their head coach and willing to pay you 2x more than you are making now is kinda intriguing. Like SF said in a few posts earlier. This is going to be a female hire for obvious reasons.

1.) Becky Hammon
2.) Niele Ivey
These 2 probably wont take the job given their current job status, but like i said you have to make the call here to gauge interest.
3.) Lindsay Gottlieb
4.) Molly Miller - I like this hire, She is young and knows how to win. I think you give her the resources we have and sky is the limit.
5.) We are in trouble if we make it this far.

I didnt mention Dawn Staley for obvious reasons. UT cannot take another public NO like we did with the Clemson OC during the football search. Not with this program.

Why do you like Hammon so much? What’s she done at the college level? This seems like the Gruden thing to me. It seems people assume because you are good in the pros that you are automatically good in college and vice versa. How do you know she can recruit and develop at the college level?

Baylor got their coach from the W. Maybe we save Minnesota from Cheryl Reeve

Define struggle…..Which fundamentals does CDS’s team struggle with? Rebounding? Shooting? Assists? Turnovers? Defense? I’ll give you FT shooting, outside of that her team’s fundamentals are all mostly in top 10% of the nation.

Oh way more, he said UT looking to make their target the top paid coach in WBB, that will take about $3.4 million/year. Don't worry, his “source” is always spot on. Consider it done already.
