Just curious, what's the best record of a fired coach.
108-52 is not bad.

Nyla Brooks is a seriously talented wing, class of 2025, committed to Tenn (Kelly's biggest future get). Will she decommit?

I didn't think this would happen! Thought the header must have been a fluke. Wow!

One banked in buzzer beater. I doubt they'd fire the coach of an SEC champion

How great would it be if the Vols struggled through a long transitional period, and Kellie took a Tulsa or some such to the next seven NCAA tourneys?
As a game coach, I think she is decent. Seemed to have the team together and with a plan. Unfortunately, recruiting went ever-so-poorly for her.
I would agree that this program was over her head, but she is a good young coach before the Peter Principal kicked in.

Great question! and a good discussion. I combined the threads (do we really want two threads about the Vols? ), so semper's thread became the one we discuss.

Over on the Tenn board, delusional of course. Kara or Dawn. Seriously?!?!?
Also vetoing possible coaches, like Lindsay Gottlieb (whom UConn faces tonight), who might be "too liberal." Wow. I could say a lot more, but I'd have to move my own post to Pickin' Bones.

Yeah, I think we should be discussing this. It is major WCBB and who knows a UCOnn grad could be in the mix. Then, some are suggesting Coach Jumper. I went over to Vol Nation which is in total disarray over this. I don't think those guys saw it coming either.

No coaching experience, and, after striking out twice, I think Tenn may want to move away from former players. The Big East coach who has some buzz, FWIW, is Megan Duffy. But she has had so many players fleeing to the portal in the last couple of weeks that it makes one wonder. It will be very hard moving a top coach to Rocky Top. Money alone won't do it, as they all make 7 figures, though Tenn could way outbid Oregon State for Scott Rueck, who can't be happy with the conference realignment either. Carla Berube isn't that much of a stretch, though obviously we'd be devastated, and not sure a place that comments on "liberals" is somewhere she'd want to be. I know that Tomekia Reed is already interviewing elsewhere after Jackson State's fine season....

I wonder if Kara would go for it … tho I do think Duke’s a great fit for her
What former Husky would want to walk into that coaching mess (and have to look at all that puke orange every day) ?!?? 🤷♀️

I know she has it in for Geno, but she has been very good on the studio crew on the men's tourney, even lauding the huskies! Didn't even seem to be wincing as she said that they are surely the favored team and only Purdue has a chance to stop them .... Every game can be an opportunity to lose, so I think she short-changed Alabama, but it was still a well-stated take. She even handled the when to talk and when to stop stuff ... much harder than it looks ... well. I was glad that the only woman in the room came off as knowledgeable, articulate, and equal to or better than her male counterparts. Ignoring the history, I ... gulp ... liked her. Even with the background, I would take her over Carolyn Peck and many others we've seen over the years

This is an interesting read: TennesseeI wonder if this means Jon was the issue, although his name is stlill listed on the website. Attachments:

I think Becky Hammon is an interesting choice, but Rueck is the best option.

Because it's Tenn I'd recommend the last Duke coach, McCauley? Her, or another Tenn grad.

"A path for Harper to stay at Tennessee would have necessitated changes on her staff...." That also reminds us that, aside from Jon, the assistant coaches maybe suffer the most. Their whole worlds are turned upside down with not nearly the great buy-out that the head coach enjoys.
