Thoughts on the hire of Kim Caldwell

[KTrain]

Well from all I know KC can definitely coach, but can she recruit. I think if she can keep the players and keep the recruits, she will be in a good position to win with her formula. Saying all that it's hard to compete with teams like USCe with 9 deep 5 star & 4stars. Is Dawn Staley a great coach I'm not sure but she is a great recruiter and has a good feel for when to insert the right endless 5 star players in different parts of the game and the players play hard for her. Thats a combo that's hard to beat and UT had them beat in the SECT. So can KC take what Kellie had that had USC on the ropes and take it to another level, we shall see.

I’m fine if she/they pay up to add one or better yet two elite P5 recruiters. Should have the money to buy the help she needs there. She nor her current staff will be known by the type of talent we need.

#4 scoring offense last year #1 three point attempts per game #3 steals per game "She presses teams from the minute they walk off the bus"

LOVE THE HIRE. SHE HAS A GAME PLAN LIKE OATES at bama

To recruit accessories to murdering young women?

We exchanged our Walmart coach for a Dollar Tree coach....

7 season tickets available section 119 row 11. A swing for the fences turns out to be a popup to the catcher. What a major disappointment.

You would not have been satisfied if Pat Summitt was raised from the dead and announced as the next head coach .

 

[VolPack22]

If she’s a coach that will make the players hustle up and down the court unlike the last five years where they walk and never get their arms up on defense I’m all for her

That’s exactly what her teams do. 4th nationally in scoring and 3rd nationally in turnover margin. That’s the sign of players hustling and buying in.

LSU we need a new coach, hires Mulkey
Kentucky we need a new coach too, hires Kenny Brooks
Tennessee we need a new coach as well, runs to Dollar tree and dives into the discount bins....

Congrats to Dawn. A true champion coach. May Tennessee once again reach the pinnacle in our great grandkids lifetimes.

That sir /maam is ridiculous and you know it .

Don’t need you in the stands rooting for the other team anyway. Watch the doorknob on the way out.

Some off you are just mean spirited or just bad out of work comedians. I'm thinking the latter and my apologies to the word comedian.

 

[Frozevol]

I'm just thrilled that we got the home run hire we were promised.

Danny White has one again proven that he is the best AD in America.

Blue font?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Oh, people on here. Makes sense to base your opinion on that.

Not like I believed it, just saying what word on here was so I’m letting the, know I didn’t forget.

 

[docholiday]

Pretty simple. Championships are coming. All I got.

Kellie Harper only has 1 regular season conference championship and that was at Western Carolina in 2006-2007. Caldwell has already accomplished as much as Harper has at the D-1 level and it only took her 19 years less of D-1 experience. I’d say she knows what she is doing.

Kim took a mid-major to the Sweet Sixteen after winning their conference tournament. Kim took her conference-winning team to Round 1 and got blasted.

Not sure how you concluded that Kim has already accomplished as much at the D-1 as Kellie.

I am supporting our new coach and hoping she succeeds. Even if her team kneels for an anthem.

So it took her 15 years to get a team to the Sweet 16

Nope. Oates continued to play Miller during the whole thing, as Tenn fans can attest.

But you're right. I should have said "accomplices," not "accessories."

 

[ThatVolGuy]

It’s bizarre. Obviously we don’t know how it’ll play out yet, but it feels like an unnecessary risk at the moment. I felt like we were coming at this from a position of strength, and we got a result that suggests I might’ve been wrong.

I dunno. I hope I’m wrong and we find out Kim is a dynamo. Right now I’m just too skeptical.

 

[Putbacks]

Staley is already trying to recruit transgender athletes to beat her!

See ya by...of course they are mucho$$

With eleven of those years spent at mid-majors. Harder than it looks.
