You know what? Most of you just dont get it and I understand. Fans. But here is what I know. I hate to lose and we are losing. We lost to freaking Vanderbilt. And we are gonna end up going cheap and/or hire a mid major coach, or a coach that has 0 experience? And I get taken to task for saying the search so far is a cluster? Some of you and your choices for coaches make anyone that remotely know the landscape of the game today cringe in unbelief that some of the things that has been said on here. I dont even know what to say.
How do you know Fulmer hasn't started to realize what is going on by now? Can you confirm the rumor that Wes Moore was in town today interviewing for the job?You know what?

See it when we believe it “people”? You’ve yet to dazzle me with your brain power. I’m not on the BOT and have never had the AD’s ear. I haven’t affected one UTAD decision...kinda like you Bunky!You are not real smart. As a matter of fact people with your mentality are the root cause of a lot of issues here.
It would make sense to wait and see who is actually hired first. Right now, the people responsible for throwing out names are some of the same people who were throwing out unimpressive candidates during the search for an offensive coordinator. Fulmer hasn't said a word about where he is actually leaning.No. Absolutely not. We cant throw out mid major coaches names and expect to get or keep high major players. These are facts.
I do not believe that the search for a women's head basketball coach is being guided by boosters. A booster is not going to have sway over the hiring of a non-revenue sport at an athletic department the size of the University of Tennessee. You come across as self important and preachy.Here is a reality that the old school Lady Vol fans are getting ready to learn. These kids never knew Pat. They have only heard of her. Most of these kids now parents knew her and thats it. They are not coming or staying to play for history, they are coming to play for a coach. The "blue hairs' mentality of limiting to a female or a Pat tree coach is gonna take us down a road that Vandy beats us every year. Cause thats where we are at this point folks. I have had alot of people talk to me about this coaching search. I will say this again. Its a cluster that is being pushed by boosters and it will end a cluster unless a change of course happens very soon.

I stand by what I said... I don't think any booster has influence over the hiring at a non-revenue sport at UT. What recourse do they have if a coach they don't like is hired? Not enough for anyone to care.This isn’t just any program. There is a sense of ownership by a lot of old guard establish figures due to the nature of how women’s athletic started and was controlled by them for decades. They also have a history of being huge pain in the asses. Philip Fulmers goal 1-2-3 is to fix football and he’s not about to let a brawl over the LV coach derail it. They will get what they want to keep them content.
If I’m the new incoming coach, I wouldn’t be 100% sure i’d want Westbrook on my team..jMOP
This was inevitable.. the new coach will have to build his/her own team. This just might make room for another recruit that’s ready to play that coache’s style..
But I wish her the best in what ever she decides!
