That poster doesn’t like that Dawn speaks on race issues. He’s one of those “shut up and dribble” people. Just go through a few post.

Ah. Right. Because racism ended with the Civil Rights Movement, systemic racism is not a thing, and no one should discuss it because it makes some people uncomfortable. Got it.

I admittedly do not know much about WBB coaches as I just follow LV’s.

I just have one question for those of you in the know, how pizzed are you gonna be when Ole Miss’s coach is named our coach? Cause it’s coming.

I think that would be a good hire, but there are people that work for Danny White that worked at Ole Miss and I don’t believe they would advise him to go that direction.

Coach Yo is interesting. I like her passion and her relationship with her players. She's fiery like Mulkey but not as flamboyant. However, I just don't see her being what the LVs need. Her recruiting and results seem a bit subpar, and we've seen that already in our last coach.

You have to at least put out a feeler to McGraw's agent, even if the chance of real interest is 1 percent. You don't make assumptions and turn over all the big stones in the creek to start with. To not do so is not doing your job. All they can say is 'no thanks.' And we've not done a proper job with our last 2 hires. I'd take four years of McGraw with some dynamic young assistants any day. It's the utmost in wishful thinking!

Maybe hire McGraw and Molly Miller as her assistant. Let Molly get her feet wet in the SEC for a few years to see if she can hack it...

I find this interesting… USC dropping DIMES to get a Men’s Coach while simultaneously losing so much money in football NIL for subpar results…

Idk if USC admin will be willing to pay Gotlieb her worth…

They are all in. Recruiting (and NIL) in football. Maybe not OHSt and TX level but elite. WBB recruiting is 🔥. Hiring Muss is a power move, just like hiring the OK football coach.

So sad about this. I loved Muss! That’s my college team I root for with the boys! What’s funny, some of our fanbase is throwing around the idea of Dawn Staley taking the position! 😂 the discourse is hilarious because they’re so serious about it.

Looking beyond w/l her program always has a lot of drama going on. She has walked close if not over the line in recruiting. Honestly just not a class program in my opinion. Not sure she is a good fit culturally for UT.
As an example of a good culture fit I would say Niele Ivey. Always acts appropriately, well respected across WBB, runs a tight ship, players don’t act out taunting etc.

Fair point as well.

I could have gotten behind Coach Yo until her new assistant coach hire this week. Now I say definitely not.

I had somehow missed the background story on Quentin Hillsman. Man it's bad. He should be radioactive. Does not reflect well on Coach Yo either.

I never thought she was a serious candidate anyway but this assures that crack in the door, if there even was one, is shut tight.

Their response to the backlash was pretty terrible as well.

Her response was… we don’t give af what I think I chose to hire him he’s successful

That’s the short of it

Well, it’s honest. Not sanctimonious, at least. It’s arrogant and obnoxious, it she can deal with the consequences. Sounds like a Mulkey response.
