The Last Three Everybody is Mentioning Final Poll

[Volfan2012]

If it turns out to be anyone but one of these three I guess Fulmer threw us a curve ball. These are the three finalist according to most talking heads today.

Langley head coach at Rice

Kara Lawson ESPN

Kellie Harper head coach at Missouri State

Volman 128 says Ivey is in the final three.

Langley’s team had a 21-game winning streak before their OT loss to Marquette in the 1st round of the tourney. That impressed me. Our team could definitely use some consistency to find ways to win when we’re not playing our best.

 

[i2amavol]

Someone tell me: why Langley? Seriously. This is what we call a "Google" coach, isn't it?

I am not being facetious. A Google coach is fine by me if they are the best available.

 

[OldNSlow]

Of these three choices Tina is the best option. If we could hire a real coach Jeff Walz is the man.

Hmmm... New rumor is that Lawson is being considered for top WNBA job.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

I voted for Tina Langley because i'm impressed with the job she's done at Rice

 

[orangefloyd]

Langley has a pretty good resume.

Not as a Coach, right?

Fulmer's budget for basketball coaches is going to look a lot different going forward.

Sources: Barnes deciding between UCLA, Vols

He's offered Barnes more money -- but it may not be enough. (But $5 million in buyout money would give him a little short-term flexibility.)

If Barnes leaves will Phil close on the new Lady Vols coach before he replaces his men's coach?

I'm high on Langley too. Although she would have to change a few things with her offensive approach. If not. Some of you would riot...?

I think if Rick Barnes leaves(At this point I think Rick Barnes stays at Tennessee)Phil Fulmer will put the emphasis on finding the next men's head basketball coach.

Barnes would be an idiot to take that job. UCLA is where you go to get fired.

 

[casetopia]

let's hire a husband and wife team to coach the men and the women.

 

[madtownvol]

Let us hope that Fulmer can do more than one thing at a time.

I doubt, he would go, "oh no, put EVERYTHING ON HOLD until I find a new men's coach."

He's down the path of hiring a new LV coach and I would be shocked if Barne's decision has any impact on his timing.

He'll spend the $ and then get the donors to fill the gaps (so long as everyone is more or less happy with the decisions.

 

[TNRazor]

I voted for Langley she's led a big time turnaround at Rice. She's a winner. I'd be excited to see what she could do with UT's resources.

Langley, assistant coach at Maryland for a few years, Rice had a losing record for 8 years before she came there. Has been there 3 years, had losing record 1st year, over 20 wins (first time in Rice’s history?) her 2nd and 3rd year (current year).

 

[Decker Moss]

Yes, but some of that shadiness had to rub off on her. She worked at Maryland.

Give Miss. St. coach a blank check and tell him to fill in the amount. Anything that isn’t close to that means we aren’t serious about WBB!!!

.....when you see that and then the winning comes. Now your working with something

Guilt by association?

 

[SaintLouisVol]

The people picking Lawson must be the same crowd that wants Peyton Manning to coach the football team.

 

[Decker Moss]

Yes, because remember it doesn’t matter who actually did the thing, they are all part of the same coaching staff. She may have not even been there during that time, but just being part of that coaching staff means your shady. However, she is a woman, so maybe we can look past the shadiness for her.
