No one is going to fire Holly with the recruiting class she's got. That would be foolish.

So, given that the LV head coaching job is not vacant, or likely to be vacant, or have a vacancy, or be vacated, or in any way be unoccupied or without an occupant named Holly for at least another 12 months ... say a year or so, and given the large quantity of all the many countless "Who's gonna take Holly's place" threads...

this one is redonkulously redundant.

Recruiting is important but it's 50 percent of the success equation. The other half, which you seem to have missed, is coaching. Do you think if you gave Warlick UConn's talent over the last four years that she'd win 109 games in a row? Don't make me laugh.

Do some of you guys know that recruits could leave either way right? If they fire her before the season, which they're not, they could leave. Or if she coaches the recruits a full year and gets fired or steps aside they could still leave and transfer. So it doesn't matter either it's next week or next April they could regardless.

We can talk about it if Holly gets off to a bad start and has a bad season next year. She will be back were not buying out her contract. She will be back and it could be a win or lose your job season.

The UT lady vols basketball job, IMO, is still the 2nd best job in the country. We attracted the no. 1 recruiting class, thanks to Coach Law, even when we are way down. Why in the world would that translate to hire an up and coming coach because he may be cheap? Damn people, get a clue.

Because he has shown he can teach and help players grow and also couldn't be worse than what we have.

I just hope the decision on whether or not to retain Warlick isn't based on a fear of losing recruits or having some transfers. We could overcome that very quickly with a good coach. A change needs to be made while the name brand "Lady Vols" is still relevant. We are fading like Louisiana Tech/Old Dominion.

Let's save all kinds of money and fire Holly and don't hire a replacement. We don't need a coach hell we haven't had one for five years

I am hoping this new Ad will take a hardline but I doubt he makes any changes over the summer. It will be next season when failures happen that he should take control of our bad situation.

Women, men, in basketball are certainly two places he need to take a hard look. Barnes hasn't recruited and he can't win in the SEC with three star players. Holly has recruited but she can't win in the SEC with bad coaching.
Then there is football which has improved but losing to Vandy and SC should make Butch's seat at least warm.
Baseball may need a change, and then there is volley ball etc.

Were not winning in many sports a lot of places to start but basketball seems to be the place we need to go first.

Tennessee must still be a prime job, so who is on your list?

South Carolina and Miss St. are prime jobs now. Tennessee is considered a graveyard for former McDonald All-Ameicans. This is what happens when you can't beat Penn St., VA Tech, Ole Miss, Auburn, Alabama and are not ranked in the top 25 anymore. Past time for a change.

The unfortunate reality is that enough top recruits are still coming to Tennessee, which means that Holly will continue to have enough talent to get by while still underachieving.

Tennessee is already celebrating Sweet 16s and making the tournament. The bar has been lowered so much that an E8 and 20+ win season will be seen as successful seasons.

Point being Decker, being a job that so many coaches would covet, we don't need to take a chance on an up-and-comer. We can hire a proven commodity because the LVs still have the credentials to attract almost anyone, providing we are willing to pay.

Louisville had talent last year, but nothing by Tennessee standards.

As good as Mariya Moore and Myisha Hines-Allen have been as collegiate players, they were still ranked in the 30s-40s coming out of HS. Durr is their only top 10 recruit, and she was injured for much of last year.

People keep talking about how Holly gets to more E8s than other coaches all while ignoring the massive stockpile of top 20 players that she typically has on her squads. Give her Louisville's roster last year, and she doesn't make the tournament. Hell, give her UConn's roster this year and they probably wouldn't make the tournament either.

She can't coach at this level. She needs players that are pro-level and can coach themselves in order to win.

Whose fault is that? He is been there ten years....why is he not recruiting better? Its not like he is coming from a smaller school....All that matters is the end of the seasons results.

He went to a school that had no history of women's basketball success. He's pretty much built that program from the ground up and is consistently a top 16 program. In the last few years, he's now getting top 10 commits...unlike Holly who couldn't get a single recruit last year except for a lightly regarded post player that she signed out of desperation. And this is to Tennessee. When was the last time Tennessee had to beg for recruits. They should be able to sell the name alone, but Holly failed miserably at that for 3 years.

Results are also measured by what you can get done with the tools at hand. UConn lost the top 3 WNBA picks, yet Geno is making a championship run with a roster less talented than Tennessee's. Quinnipiac is in the S16 with players that Holly wouldn't even look at, yet Tennessee with their 3 top ten players and 5 McD AAs is heading home to Knoxville. Let that sink in.
