Bodes well for the future. If you can make that decision with her history here then you can make the hard choices best for the program.

And he made it with her team playing the number one team the best out of everyone. Thought that might have gotten her another year.

I don’t remember who it was I had a lengthy back and forth with about my expectations of Kellie not being back next season, and I’m too lazy to go figure out who (you know who you are), and I’m not typically someone to “say I told you so,” but…. I told you so.

Hope the new coach can hold onto the phenom recruit we have committed in a future class, don’t remember her name or what class it is.

Also I posted some excerpts from some The Athletic articles after the loss to nc state that showed who were thought to be the best coaches out there, both current and up and comers, as voted by their coaching peers. I would look to that as the short list for a potential hire, expecting the hire timeframe to be short if we can attract a big established name, and only longer if we have to be forced to look at an up and comer option (though I hope we made the move knowing who our hire was going to be - would expect such forethought from DW). I also expect the hire to be less than 65 yoa. And I also expect a female hire, though wouldn’t rule out a male hire if they find the right one amongst established names. Think there are more potential male hires amongst the established winning coaches than female ones (at least most of the established winning female coaches I think appear locked in where they are).

Either a lot of people in the Lady Vols circle are about to be really pissed or Danny White finally convinced the core of them to let him do this.

I'm just not sure who he could possibly call that's a "big swing" that I think would actually accept. I don't think Dawn Staley would answer.

I'd think either we already have someone in the bag or they're still coaching in the tournament. If it's the latter that narrows it down to NC State and USC basically. If we've already hired someone then the only teams I can think that have Final Four appearances recently are Virginia Tech right? Who am I missing? Jeff Walz at Louisville?

Edit: Vic Shaefer at Texas. He led Mississippi State to multiple NCAA finals.

Holy moly....3 teams we beat this year. Went 4-1. I guess people have to worry about something.

They all have final 4s. Fairly recently. All have better recruiters at the helm. They’ll be better than us next year if we don’t recruit. We got lucky honestly with Knecht.

That is correct-- we want those things. But you know that UT is on a different path to get there. That "right way" talk from the Chancellor and DW-- they intend to walk it.

And I'm fine with not taking murderers or rapists, but that doesn't mean you can't play it with the good ones.
