Wes Moore Twitter Rumor

[volbeast33]

Wes Moore is a good coach but at 61 he's too old in my opinion. I still think Jeff Walz will wind up the Tennessee women's basketball coach. Knoxnews has a 50 photo spread of Coach Walz and I don't think they would do that unless he's about to become the Tennessee women's basketball head coach.

Louisville women's basketball coach Jeff Walz through the years

You would be wrong.... the Knoxville news sentience does those kind of spreads all the time and are made fun of by other local media for most of their topics.

Hmm, if someone like Lawson or Catchings did actually want some coaching experience at Tennessee, they could be the top assistant for Wes, and take over after ten or so years. I'm cool with this.

In 10 years he’d be 71/72.

A lot of first round exits on that resume. Hopefully we can do better.

15 seasons of that resume was at UTC.

Not a great coach but he is better than Holly.

Jim Traficant .... what a character

If you are gonna hire an old guy,why not the guy at Miss. St. who we know is kicking everyones a## in this league.

 

[SmokyRiverDog]

He's not that old.......they're are coaches older than him that are still going strong.

Pitino?

Coach K is 72
Tom Izzo is 64
Roy William's is 68
Geno Auriemma is 65
Muffet McGraw is 63
Nick Saban is 67

Could you feel the breeze when it went over your head?

You only said Pitino and nothing else.

You have to read it in reference to the quoted post. This ish may be too complicated for you.

My post was about age and coaching.

I'd love Wes Moore. He'd be a top choice if true.

 

[VOLED]

haven't seen Moore in a few years but he lived down the street from us when he was at UTC. He would have walked to Knoxville for the job back then.

 

[dovervolz]

Whatever, I hope Wes Moore isn't in the mix because of his age

That's the same things that were said about Rick Barnes

 

[volman128]

I don't mind the hire. He's around the same age as Rick Barnes. The main question would be his staff and recruiting. If Schaefer can be successful at MSU (being just a couple years younger than Wes, and having never been a HC before then, at that), Moore could definitely be successful here.

I still like Walz, Ivey, or Gail more than him, but he would be a top 5 choice for me. It's not a "sexy" hire but could be a very good hire if he has a staff of good recruiters.

Mine wasn't exactly. That's the entire point you're missing, but this is getting old now.

If true, it would be a pretty disappointing indictment of Fulmer's commitment to the program...

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

I hope Fred Flintstone doesn't sue him for steeling his iconic look.

Quick somebody call Mr. Slate.!

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

I'm not worried about his age, that's the same gripe a lot of folks had about David Cutcliffe a couple of football hires ago and boy would we have been better off if he had come.

 

[And1]

Can anyone discredit or acknowledge this? I don’t know the source, but they have a ton of followers.



I personally think he’s too old, and isn’t the best long term hire. I also don’t know about his recruiting prowess. That’s just me though.

I think the Russians are interfering!

Why?
