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

[ttharp]

Gosh, I hope not. I know it was a longshot, and maybe never even a remote possibility. But my heart sure is set on Hammon because IMO she checks all the boxes. I would bet the farm she'd have Tennessee back to competing for championships in short order. I am confident she'd have the kind of pull to hire a terrific group of assistants/top-notch recruiters to get us up and in the running for bigtime recruits immediately.

She could be THAT huge a hire.
(oh please oh please oh pkease let it happen!)

sounds like said poster has a problem with black women as head coaches.

Not at all! Like, Elzy. Caldwell, Former Florida and present ESPN coach, Arizona head coach and others. Joni is another one. None are mouthy!

No matter the hire, look for a cupcake schedule next year to justify the choice.

I see nothing funny or entertaining about Kim Mulkey and her antics. In fact, I think she is a.disgrace to the game of basketball. Some of the outfits she wears reminds me of circus clowns.

Then you may want to lighten up and not take an entertainment product so seriously. Clowns are entertaining, so you're pretty much proving my point.

Quick update: The inbound interest is very strong for the job this time. That’s the opposite of the last go round. As a courtesy to those coaches and their agents (who are the agents of other coaches) we’ll screen and interview people who aren’t in contention for the job. The list of three viable options may have expanded to four or five, but they are still focused on a primary target who they’ve been talking to for awhile. I think we’ll have a coach by the end of next week. This shouldn’t last long.

End of next week? That’s forever!

The new coach will be bound by whatever previous engagements Kellie set. Obviously the schedule is never 100% but should be decently filled already

End of this week latest if he’s smart

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

For what we need, it has to be either Wes Moore, Scott Rueck or bust period..

How do you know what we need? And you think it’s either those two or bust? I mean you cannot be serious right?

And why is that a problem?

 

[Volstylexx]

Does this leave out Hammond?

rising star in mid majors? thrilling

Got to read deeper into what was reported. “Strong incoming interest” and that there would be additional interviews as a matter of respect for those candidates… and also (because those coaches are represented by agents who also represent other coaches) aka we don’t want to piss off the agent of our BIG fish. When they say mid major/ think Fortier of Gonzaga, not Missouri State.

Bad take.. interest doesn’t matter when the candidates suck. There should be automatic disqualifications. I’m sure DW will entertain a few non viable candidates to network and get a broad feel. But it’s this weekend or nothing.

2 weeks is too long

Would you rather White rush and make a bad hire?

It will be none of the above. We will end up with better, the way this is headed.

No there should be such a short list with tho who would actually qualify…

Or dont fire kellie

Bad take. Why do people think they know what or who we need and in the timeframe associated with it? None of us are ADs with great track records of hiring coaches.

Ok Danny White

I had Hammon/ Gottlieb interchangeable at 1a/1b, but the more I think about the less certain I am that she would be best coach for where we currently are. Kellie left the cupboard EMPTY. We need a quality coach and players at this point. That’s why I’ve switched my personal preference to Gottlieb.

Ok Danny White

Bc Kellie wasn’t an abject failure…
He’s being very clear on intention. NOT JUST BETTER THAN KELLIE but ELITE a sure fire FF coach… and that list isn’t as long as u think

They must be proven. Bro I’m not an AD but I am a coach… anything less is a terrible look for DW

Ok now I know u are trolling and have no insider info… such a shameless and terrible take
