Tyler Summitt belongs in Knoxville with Lady Vols!

He is doing a good job at Marquette. I think if we ever had an opening he would be considered. That could be a while I don't any of the Assistants are leaving anytime soon.

The game is far different today than it was when PS was coaching PS won at least half her titles in the very early days of women's basketball. You need serious coaching chops to win games nowadays--not a name. This notion that tyler summitt is going to save the program is a joke. Let him get a head job or two somewhere else and prove he can develop a winner. This is a program that needs a big-time coach--it is not for on-the-job training. That is our problem now.

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.

Congratulations on your google skills. Nicely done. UConn, UK, U of L, T A&M, NC State, MTSU, ISU and many others know being a good coach is not gender based.Two male coaches were in the final game last year. I do have a brain and I use it to think and observe. I also watch a lot of women's BB. I stand by what I said.

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?

the vince/derek thing would have worked great, if derek had screwed up GA, instead of Tennessee

Tyler needs a lot more experience,but hopefully it works out in the future after he has been coaching for a while,but he does have the pedigree from a very driven mom

he has been breaking down film and watching how Pat did it from the very court named after her,would i love to see him cut down some more championship nets for the Vols? your damn right i would,will it happen? who knows.

hopefully one of these days, you know he has to be a huge fan of the Orange and White I do wish him the best,unless he is playing the Mighty Lady Vols :)

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.

Yeah, the hire of a coach without so much as an interview based on the pedigree of a legend has sure got us all convinced that were headed back to the top. Let's go ahead and try it again ... woohoo!

Oh goodie good ... A coach in waiting. I wish we had one now. It stabilizes recruiting and the fanbase sooo much. I mean our current coach will probably be ready to hang it up in 30yrs or so.
:-o

BTW, somebody call UA's new offensive coordinator and ask advice on how to get around UT's anti-nepotism policy again. I assume he'll be under the Coach-Emeritus.

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?

Ahah! A thinker. The audacity to say that the program is bigger than a personality. Get the pitchforks if you bleed orange.
Universities should never tolerate such types.

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.

So Dooley would've been a good coach if Georgia had hired him?

You've gotta lay off the bath salts.

Good points. You might be right. I guess I am coming from a parent of a daughter and might be using my personal bias towards wanting my daughter to be coached by a female vs male. I think female coaches provide a wonderful example of how far a female can climb the ladder in society versus handing someone a job just based on a last name.

This has to be one of the lamest posts I have ever read or maybe I should say "heard" . With this thinking we should have had Bob Jr coach our football team since the stadium is named after his dad .
Pat earned the right to coach at UT or anywhere else she may have chosen . It will be up to Tyler to earn his own rights to coach at Tennessee or wherever he may choose . I hope he is able to do that .

We are not far apart on this. I prefer a woman to coach a women's team myself, but I don't think women or men get more out of their players. That's all I have had an issue with. I think it has more to do with each coaches personality and knowing which buttons to push for each player. That was what made Pat so good.

I don't think anyone is calling for Tyler to be the head coach at this time. I wouldn't mind seeing Tyler come in if one of the assistants leave. Tyler has had quite a bit of experience around BB and not just from Pat. Remember he was under Bruce a while also. I have been to some Marquette games and have seen a couple on TV. He is not a wall flower. I have seen the head coach step back and let him take over the huddle. I may be wrong, but I think the boy will be good. If he is good, I would love to see him take the reins someday, not soon, but someday.

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.

Well damn , would Pat have not instilled winning and toughness into Holly since she freakin sat on the bench next to her since 1985 ? Plus played for her ??
