Kim Caldwell (Rookie Coach of the Year-WBCA) is named Head Coach of Iconic Lady Vols WBB

[Volfan2012]

I've seen Kim Caldwell press conferences she has a lot of basketball knowledge. Recruiting would be whether she would win here.

I hate to bust y’all’s bubble, but ain’t no way in Hell DW is fired if he flubs on a WBB coaching hire. He’s one of the best AD’s in the nation and until he screws up football, he ain’t going nowhere.

If the coach hired isn’t exactly Pat Summit resurrected or Dawn Staley, just know that whoever was hired must’ve made a HUGE impression and crushed the interview and in-depth analysis.

Nor should he be fired. I don’t think some of the keyboard warriors in here realize how difficult it is to hire a coach.

What’s her ranked win record @Majors

Here 0-0

If DW goes this route, he’s prioritizing the budget over “win at all costs”. It could still be a great hire, but very risky. Bold move.

What route?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

If the Marshall coach is hired it could get ugly, another Coach Schiano show in the making?

Can it get any dumber in here?

Where the Wes Moore fanbois?

Out getting their bowlcuts.

Maybe he thinks she's the best candidate available?

This is better than the Gruden threads.

I mean…I don’t think she’s ever covered for a child rapist

The dumb continues

Cope. She isn’t qualified.

Got a ways to go, but getting good.

Is Coach Law in consideration?

I doubt it, she's a great recruiter and a great assistant, but her previous head coaching record is abysmal.

 

[Volfan2012]

Not good enough players for a championship, this will set us back for years.

We don't know who the players will be yet. I'm just going to accept who he hires and see how it turns out. I said in another post he can hire a mid-major coach like this he has done it before.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

What if she wins?

She won’t

The mafia has been disbanded.

Remnants are all around my man and small whoopsies can become big headaches.

 

[creekdipper]

Congrats to Coach Caldwell.

Hard to remember that Holly Warlock won the same award after her first full season as coach.

Cope. She isn’t qualified.

If DW thinks so she is. But you know more than him right?

 

[Volstylexx]

I don’t have to prove myself or my sources. I’m just dropping information as I get it. I told yall Kara was never an option even when the dude on twitter with “clout” said she was. Then it comes out she was never interviewed just as I said.

I’m not saying that the Marshall Coach is a done deal, but I am saying that’s the loud buzz amongst coaches and former players.

I’m just relaying information as I get it via text.

I will eat a cat turd out of my litter box live on facebook for you all to watch if TN hires Marshall's coach. Danny White does not fire a former Lady Vol who went to two sweet 16's to hire a coach who's been in D1 for one year. NOT. HAPPENING. It's counter intuitive to everything we know to be true in how he sees the program.

I was talking about the pushback, see the question mark.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

She won’t

I bet you thought the same thing about Heupel

 

[Mafiaboss]

So where is all this latter information coming from? How would this source know what the players said to White?

My friend knows several of the biggest donors. This all via on of them. I don’t know specifics.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

If he hires Kim we at least have to see what she can do with the roster and see how she does for a season before we lynch DW. He has done this before and they won big.

If she’s the coach we will most likely miss the tournament next season, everyone will finally see that the players we have are not good enough. The portal will be dried up and she doesn’t have any elite players to bring.

 

[AllVols3]

Maybe he thinks she's the best candidate available?

Then he should have keep Kellie. He will be doing it again in 2--3 years. The progrM will be in much worse shape then also.

I really believe there's a few in this thread that believe they are on the same level

The Lady Vols basketball program, while they don't bring in the money that football does, they are one of the few athletic programs other than football that can be self-supporting and not depend upon football money. This is not the coach of the golf or tennis teams - this is the coach of a program that put women's basketball on the map when most of the teams now playing in the NCAA finals were nothing.

It is a very important hire and will determine if the program goes up from here or sinks even further down the path of being irrelevant.
