Holly,"Please, pull a Pat"

Holly, do like Pat used to. Show these young ladies they don't deserve to wear the orange. Take away their dressing room. Let KY have it Monday night. No fireworks. No hoopla. They don't deserve it. When they give their all for Tennessee and their coach, then maybe.

It's not her place to "pull a pat". She isn't the head coach. If she did, she would have very little credibility with the players.

When Pat decides to retire at the end of this season, the smartest thing UT could do is go outside the current staff in its search for a replacement.

Still a young top 15 team right there. Along with a head coach who has given her life for my Alma mater. Have some respect. Things aren't ideal and may get worse before they get better....BUT have some class.

One of many great CD's by that very same band ("King Crimson" and the title of the CD is "Red", for those wondering).

This season's Lady Vols could use some of the energy that comes across on that "great CD".

Holly not a good fit for the Lady Vols. May have been a good player, etc..... but not the "role model" future recruits will seek. Agree that AD needs to go out and get the Best Coach for the Future.

Well, no one is for that matter. I get suspicious when I see the "....."'s.

My vote would be Kentucky's coach Matthew Mitchell. Guy is good and did coach at UT before as a Grad Asst.

If you enjoy players spending 90% of their time slapping at the ball, then Mitchell is your man. It is sort of like watching drop shots and lobs in tennis. It may win some games, but it is UGLY. Why can't they play both offense and defense like the top teams do now? The women's game has changed and where defense can win games, you now have to have a good offense to make it to the top. Why can't TN women do both???
