Huh?

GREAT HIRE. DW style coach. Young, offensive guru, she SIMPLY WINS!!

Coming off a national championship, all she did in Y1 of D1 ball was take Marshall to their SECOND EVER tournament...a .500 conference team and goes 17-1 and wins both reg season and tournament

She's a damn killer.

What a resume of accolades. She's coming for everyone.

Digging through the YouTube crates for Marshall highlight videos now

Wow just wow

I’m sorry but this just isn’t a good hire. I cannot wrap my head around firing kellie who has proven she can atleast win for this. It’s a slap in the face.

 

[volforlife10]

what the heck. this is seriously the best we could do? a coach with one year of D1 experience….

Per ESPN Stephen’s will be introduced at a press conference on Tuesday.

Call me unimpressed

Am I the only one excited by this? All she does is win.

Caldwell is 217-31 in eight seasons as a head coach -- earning eight NCAA berths across two divisions and winning seven total conference championships. Marshall was picked to finish ninth in the preseason Sun Belt media poll, but under Caldwell, the Thundering Herd averaged 85.3 points per game (fourth nationally) and forced 24.2 turnovers per game (second nationally).

Let the gains begin!

At least she’s hot

 

[LVsinceJV]

Seems likeable, articulate about the game, players themselves seem articulate about the game, and strikes me as personable toward her players

Against schools in the sister of the blind conference. Come on anybody can win there.

LET'S GOOOO!!

BIG TIME HIRE! Not some retread "household name" BS. She just wins wherever she goes.

That's how you do it!

I like the hire. After dealing with Kellie's utter ineptitude over the last five seasons, it'll be nice to have someone in charge who actually knows how to coach (as evidenced by Caldwell's record). She has the chance to be something special once high-quality players start coming in, another area at which KJH was laughably deficient for a decorated former Lady Vol.

 

[JohnnyPayne]

Yikes.

 

[spojo13]

This was the plan that’s been in place for a month, swing for the fences, break the bank hire!! Get on board everyone!! In Danny, We trust!!

Home Run!

The ignorance of this post. If anyone could win there, then they would have won every year before she got there. *Breaking News* they didn't.

This reminds me of how everyone didn't want JH, and he's killed it. She has won literally everywhere she's been, she will here too.
