New Coach?

#28
Tanya Cardoza. Played at Virginia, assistant for 14 years at UCONN and head coach at Temple for 8 years. Has a .620 winning percentage with mediocre talent. She has heart, is competitive and her players lover her. She might not be a headline coach, but TENN isn't going to get a top level coach to take over this program.

She won't resign and give up that money. And if we fire her this year, she will sue for even more money. UT will give her a year to turn things around and meet goals and expectations. Hart's not going to walk into a sure lawsuit.

Didn't a petition from fans and boosters put pressure on the Athletic Department to force Cuonzo Martin out? He coaches way better than Holly. She just had more talent.

Will they really be able to convince these players to come back and give it another year if they already made up their minds that they want to transfer?

With these results we're more likely to get sued if we don't fire her. If we keep her, the AD obviously doesn't give a crap about women's athletics.

Everyone that has been calling for Dunbar, well you saw in the first half that she had one three, gave two straight baskets, and then allowed a guard to push her out of bounds to get a rebound.

Might be wrong on this :question:, but replay looked like Dunbar had decent position but got stepped on, elbowed hard, or kneed (she hopped out of bounds & continued hopping on endline).

No, there's not. Coaches are graded by the performance of their team. If UT were to fire her, they can show cause. The fact that there's an ongoing Title IX investigation does not play into this. You're allowing paranoia to cloud your judgement.

I'm not one who wants the players to transfer so Hart's hand is forced and he fires Holly, but Cooper, Nared, Russell and DeShields would be fools to stay on this team past this season. They are risking their futures for a coach that hasn't proven that she can help them.

That's why Holly needs to go!

Poor performance buys a year to fix the problems and meet clearly defined goals and expectations. Remember Dooley after 2011?

This doesn't fall under Title IX. This is similar to the three civil suits UT just settled for more than $1M. Title IX is only relevant because that suit has put UT in a negative public light, and Dave Hart has developed a reputation of being unfriendly to women.

It's not paranoia. It's logic and common sense.

Yea you're right. i'm already worried about what might or might not happen once the season is over and with no new players coming in this team can't afford to lose players but there is a possibility it might happen.

Debbie Jennings filed a lawsuit alleging unlawful termination due to retaliation and discrimination. If Holly were to file a lawsuit and win she would be entitled to the remaining value of her contract plus punitive damages. Punitive damages are capped in Tennessee so the amount from those damages she could get as opposed to a straight buyout as usually happens when coaches are fired is very minimal. In the grand scheme of things there would be very little to gain financially that she wouldn't already get.

That's not even addressing the validity of her claim which isn't even a slam dunk.

It's true.... What grounds could she possibly sue on.... That's why contracts are drawn up the way they are.

Replace her with a man and discrimination leaps to mind. The current title ix lawsuit is a double edge sword. Love her or hate her....Holly returns next year. Gotta love the irony of the situation.

No way Holly gets fired when UT is in the midst of a Title IX lawsuit. She would sue UT, add fuel to the negative publicity, cause even more problems for UT... and receive a big settlement. The LVs may lose players, fans and prestige after this horrific season, but Holly will be back for another year.

What would she sue for? She's going to have the worst season-record in LV history, that's cause for firing. I don't see Holly degrading the university like that and suing on grounds of gender discrimination.

Has UT ever fired a male HC after one bad season following only successful ones?

WTH does Holly's situation have to do with the men's program? Frankly, it's time to stop this gender crap and focus on performance. Hart keeps her and fans are pissed. Hart fires her and he's discriminating. Sheet...damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Logic and common sense says she has no grounds to sue over anything.
