Time to bring him back home. Not quite ready for head coaching job but be that as it may, he should be next coach in waiting and on our staff.

Yeah you're right. Because he's the offspring of Pat Summit he needs to coach the lady Vols. Makes sense. The Vince Dooley/Derek Dooley thing worked so well.....why not?

This might be considered sexist, BUT I think females are better at coaching women's basketball than men. I realize UCONN might be an exception. This might start a new thread. Ha. IMO

Hear this and hear it now: Tyler is the offspring of the lady who is the primary reason that NCAA women's basketball is what it is today. She singlehandedly put Lady Vol basketball on the map and established us as the preeminent university for the sport. SHE earned the right for her son to coach on the court named after her.

He need only put in the requisite time to ensure that he has an understanding of how major college women's basketball programs function. He is rapidly approaching that threshold given his ongoing position.

PS. The Dooley fiasco is not even applicable, as we are not GA. His coaching birthright was earned, and should have stayed, well south of the TN border.

Seriously, OP?! The inbreeding is the issue now.

Give Holly time to either transition the program to the way the game is played today, or keeps going down the wrong path. It's hard to follow a legend, especially since the program had already started down before Pat stepped down.

IF Tyler gets successful experience as a head coach by taking teams to the dance and winning, and if an opening occurs with the LV's - then and only then should they talk to him about being the HC.

It's very applicable. It shows that just because a parent is good at something doesn't mean the child will too. Tyler has to prove himself for a while before u hand him the reigns of a major college program. He may very well wind up being a great coach but for now the kid needs to live and learn.

Doesn't mean he will even be 1/4 of what his mother was. If UT decides to move on from Holly Warlick in the future, then they should be able to land a much better coach than Tyler. Not trying the bash the guy but give him some more time to prove himself before you take that step.

Two points:
1. We will no longer be the per-eminent university for womens basketball come April.
2. Pat Summit deserves every accolade and word of praise that comes her way. But just because she brought program up from nothing to where is today does not mean she can dictate moves around the program until her dying day. The program belongs to the University of Tennessee--not Pat Summit.

Universities that allow that type of dictatorial control and worship usually get in trouble. How well did that work out for Penn State?

Women's National Champs other than UCONN:
2012 Baylor- Kim Mulkey
***2011 Texas A&M- Gary Blair
2007-2008- Tenn
2006 Maryland- Brenda Freese
2001- Notre Dame- Muffett McGraw
1999- Purdue- Carolyn Peck
1994- North Carolina-Slyvia Hatchell
1993- Texas Tech=Marsha Sharp
1992- Stanford-Tara VanDerveer

* SO LET ME SEE- other than UCONN and 1 Texas A&M male coach, a woman has led her team to the title ever since 1992. You might want to grow a brain before you comment-ORANGE MANIAC.

Pat has instilled "winning" into him. I think that's more than Holly has done. The Lady Vols haven't had the toughness instilled into them like Pat did.

Does the word " Manning" mean anything. Just poking fun.
