If Holly Warlick is the coach-in-waiting

[therealitytheory]

then I'm the fan -a -leaving.

This massacre at ND is the worst showing by a UT BB team since Buzz's Vols got embarrased by 60 pts. by UK in the SEC tourney.

Sloppy, lackadaisical, detached...and that was before the second half laydown.

I don't believe she is.

That was Wade Houstons bunch. Allan Houston was part of that which is what makes it all the more odd.

That's one of my choices. I honestly think Pat, Holly and Joan will all leave within a few years of each other.

I like Nikki but wouldn't hate giving Dean lockwood the reigns either. He is a personable figure.

Someone suggested the KY coach; seems like he would be a great choice since his team is definitely playing defense, beat UT this season, and learned under Pat. I think he's a better choice than any assistants on the UT coaching staff.

Could do a lot worse than Matt Mitchell. The thing that is so great about Coach Summitt and the program she built is that there is no shortage of great coaches with UT ties that have learned from her. Caldwell would be my top choice but wouldn't be shocked to see her stay at LSU a while. I feel dirty even talking about a new coach

Holly can do the job. She's earned the job if she wants it. Look at her resume. She's been with Pat for all of her championships. The idea she would be a poor choice is absurd.

Nikki Caldwell first Matt Mitchell number two. I hope we do not let any of Pat's asst coaches that are coaching for her now have the head coaching job.

No, what would be absurd is if she got the job.I'm looking at the resume and lately its not worth a crap.UT can and should do better than Holly.

[Vols4us]

None of the existing staff can do the job unless just having good teams that are closer to #20 instead of #1 is what you have in mind. Hart is over it now. There will be a transition for a short while and then the big change will have to come.

You, my "Vol friend" are a complete idiot! For starters the 60 point loss, that was the basis of your point, was 2 coaches and at least 6 years before Buzz even got here. Which shows how little you know/care!

If you can't come even remotely close to getting your facts straight and just want to post something negative as quick as possible then you have problems with yourself!

You have NO IDEA what this team or any of the coaches are going through right now.

As for you're "fan -a -leaving" Well, get the h3ll out!
Sorry for the rant Volnation.

With the exception of HC experience, her resume dwarfs anyone else who would be considered. She's had opportunities to move on, but chose to stay with Pat. She is a Vol thru and thru. The fact that some have dismissed her as irrelevant or unworthy is sad. Holly bleeds orange and deserves a chance to shine. She's put in the time and the hard work. Pat is the greatest of all time, but she didn't build the Lady Vol dynasty all on her own. Even she would tell you that. If Holly wants the job, it should be hers. I can pretty much guarantee you that Pat, Nikki, and anyone with ties to the Lady Vols would tell you the same.
