When DP speaks, listen. That’s all I’m going to say.

Ah yes, the same gospel source that's been trying to convince us Holly is a good coach and making excuses on her behalf for years. Come to think of it, you fall in that camp as well...

A page set up to cover Warlick's buyout might be the fastest goal hit in GoFundMe history.

SSHHHHHSSHH! Don't tell those other 65+ thousand football sheep how much fun that 25,000 seat arena has become! Even though not always sold out, still pretty hard and expensive to get tickets. But so well worth it!

Oh I love it and go to both..... just smart enough to know that football is the head of the universities athletics department.

I'm telling you .. Ut does not have the funds to make the move this year unless big booster fronts it ..... Fulmer has spent a lot on football .... Plus the cash needed to hire a top candidate to come live in the Bear's ( I mean Pats footsteps )

You absolutely have no clue about this issue....money will be no probem at all.

What was posted on Facebook? Link?

I read it, someone posted something pretty ugly and totally unnecessary about Evina. Eva got into it; upshot was she said something about not having Evina to kick around next year, lots of teams would love to have her (my paraphrase). It blew up from there. I can’t remember the site; if I find it I will post the link. @T_Vol376 do you know it?

Note: no need for everyone to get into another discussion about it, please. Just information for context.

 

[Smallvol#1]

I was privy to some info most didn't know, at least at the time. He should have 100% been fired.

He should have been fired after the Oklahoma game; if generous, after the Florida game....and his chart packed with him. I had already figured out he was out of his league......my glasses are orange but apparently not as thick as some.

I still don't think you fire a head coach who has 9 wins in a season

You think Lady Vols Basketball ranks close to football? Please tell me you are making reference to Men’s basketball. PLEASE. Otherwise, it’s got to be blue font.

Yes I was referencing men's or them together.

It was in Margo Anderson’s facebook group. It’s been about a month ago now. I can’t remember who made the initial comment bashing Evina.

Is it possible that Westbrook decided to transfer at the end of this season way back in December when she went home for Christmas break and talked things over with her mother? Her bad body language and prima donna pouting were evident starting in January. Perhaps she realizes that she will have to sit out one year under NCAA transfer rules and would prefer to play right away at her new school. If she can initiate a coaching change at Tennessee she might be eligible to play immediately. So perhaps she is leaving regardless of what happens to Coach Warlick, but would prefer to have a valid reason (a coaching change) to petition the NCAA for immediate eligibility.

I feel Westbrook did make her decision to leave during the timeframe you mentioned...

I saw that dust-up. While I understand a parent wanting to defend her kid, at this point, an adult should realize that social media is not representative of the fan base. Any team will have a small segment of "trolley" posters who bad mouth players. On that same thread, many, many posted how much they loved Evina!

If a parent wants their kid to transfer anytime some negative comments crop up on social media, well that poor player is going to be on the move a lot.

People really need to realize most fans of a program don't follow its social media; that those who do are mainly lurkers (who read but do not post) and only a fraction are active posters.

Getting bent out of shape because some random poster says something not nice about your daughter's game on FB is like howling at the moon or screaming at the wind.

I find it hard to believe that was the driver. Evina probably wanted to transfer already, and sh!tty comments from fanbase randos probably just added one more reason why she would be happy to pack her bags.

eggszactly right!

Yeah I don’t think parents should be in any fan groups for the exact reasons you noted. Both Mimi’s and Zaay’s dads were in the same group and they wisely left.

I left too, too many negative nellies over there, not like here... lol

I miss the emojis; why are they greyed out at the top?

I'm starting to think that Tony B gets all his hot information tips from Jimmy Hyams at the Masonic lodge meeting on the first Tuesday night of each month.

 

[WeAreTheRealUT.]

Listening to Basilio today. Per his sources: Phillip started making a list over a month ago. Has been reaching out to people in the business. Names those sources believe that may be on his list are Tina Langley (Rice), Kellie Harper, Wes Moore, and his high dollar wish- Jeff Walz. I don't know if he has real sources, or he just reads this board. LOL

 

[WeAreTheRealUT.]

He, also, says she meet with Fulmer y-day, and one other person was in the room. It sounds like she was given options on how this could all go down.

Damn,i hope Basilio is right! If it is right it will either be probably Wes Moore or Kellie Jolly Harper

 

[WeAreTheRealUT.]

He said the are hot on the Rice coach. Whatever that means. LOL Also, that Kellie has gotten hot at the right time.

You're right, this does sound like this board lol. The only interesting one is Langley. She's done a good job at Rice, but I doubt she's ready for Tennessee after only 4 years head coaching experience.

Tina Langley would be a great hire She's done an outstanding job at Rice

Tina's record at Rice

Evina's mother Eva posted on Lady Vol Fans Facebook page. The conversation has been deleted. It was quoted on Volnation several weeks ago. I do not remember the post well enough to rewrite it. Someone else may remember the Volnation thread name. Maybe it's still there.
