The volleyball coach deserves a mention and has done more than Harper. Soccer coach is probably ahead of Harper, too. I assume the Crew coach is better also, though I have no evidence.

The new soccer coach has been...not good. Shades of Warlick, over his head. 20 wins before he was hired...then down to 11 and then down to 9. Poor decision-maker.

The best coach at UT, IMO, is Swimming coach Matt Kredich. Both the men and women's team finished in the top ten nationally last year; women with two SEC titles in the last four years. Very well-respected program nationally for a long time--with swimmers and divers who've won national titles. Harper has not done anything to seriously improve women's basketball.

White seems cheap with non-revenue coaches.

Sean Carlson Head Coach and Director of Cross Country.

Tennessee is the only athletic program that has made their Cross Country Coach a head coach. Sean also coaches all middle distance runners in track and field. Our forward thinking AD White hired Sean about 18 months ago from Notre Dame.

Both the Women and Mens CC teams finished first in the NCAA South Regional last weekend. The Tennessee Womens team finished sixth this morning in the NCAA National Championship. From the SEC only Florida was higher by one point. Men finished 26th. But we are definitely on the right "track."

Eve Rackham-Watt the Volleyball coach currently has Tennessee ranked eighth. That's the highest regular season ranking in program history.

Matt Kretich head coach of both Men and Womens swimming and diving teams. The womens team has won the SEC championship twice out of the last three/ four years.

Chris Woodruff's men's tennis team has won the SEC Championship in the last three year. Always plays one of the toughest schedules in the nation and is a consistent top 10 if not top five program. We finished second two years ago in the indoor National Championship ( not sponsored by NCAA). We have won the men's doubles championship twice in the last five to seven years.

Barnes has won SEC championship

Yeah because SEC basketball is on par w/ football. We basically made the elite 8 in football last year in Heupel’s second year and have yet to do so in basketball, except once Under Pearl.

Maybe a little off topic but how is our golf team? I don’t keep up with college golf at all. Golf coach any count?

Golf is an embarrassment. We have had 1 golfer win a PGA tourney in the past 50 years. Meanwhile every PGA Tourney looks like a SEC alumni meeting.

1. Tony V. 2. Rick Barnes 3. Josh Heupel ( could move up). 4. Karen Weekly. 5 Kelly Harper. Don't know the rest of the head coaches of the other sports. Who's your top 5 head coaches?

Kelly Harper doesn’t even deserve to be on the list. Worst coach in D-1 women’s basketball. I have know idea how many coaches UT has on the payroll, but Harper would be last. Playing zone the other night when only a 3 would beat you, is just another gaffe by her. She is terrible.

Wait until she starts recruiting high school players again. She has just been taunting us by making the degree of difficulty higher.
