I want to make a post, or better have the media ask about or write about, her original coach and inspiration, her dad Ken Jolly. He's a legend in White Co. The continuous Pat stuff is just lazy, obvious "journalism" 3 yrs in.But more than anyone, she is herself. I get tired of and it is not fair to compare her (good or bad) to Pat Summitt. Every time I see one of those post I want to make a post that she reminds me of Wes Moore when he and her were at Chattanooga.
Easy to write about, when you played and won under Pat. Media/fans want to believe because of the mannerisms and looks because they can’t let go of the past.I want to make a post, or better have the media ask about or write about, her original coach and inspiration, her dad Ken Jolly.

The film crew followed her around several days and she couldn’t do her job and focus on them 100% of the time. I doubt it’s the first time she let her team have it, just the first time it was filmed. She goes after the refs, during live games, frequently. She was intensely competitive as a player and is likely the same as a coach. Take a breath. They are 21-4 and 2nd place in the toughest women’s basketball conference in America.maybe yes, maybe no but you just don't pull out a performance like that out of the air. I think that clip gives us KJH's vibe and how she responds to a lack of toughness and effort.

I still don't believe in her recruiting skills and in women's basketball, it's all about your 5 stars. Yes you have to turn them into a team (sorry Holly), but you don't see teams of 3 star recruits making it to the Final Four.
Now if she starts getting the recruits, I believe she's got the coaching skills to win a NC.

Look at me y'all, I'm just like Pat!
Would people say Stanford’s Coach Tara VanDeVere is a great Coach? Her team won the National Championship last year, but it had been 29 years since she last won it. Pat Coached 38 years and won 8 Championships, that’s 30 years without winning the National Championship, and she is considered a great Coach.Yet. We'll see in time. BTW, very few coaches are great.

We have people here comparing our 3rd year Coach to Pat, or just criticizing her no matter how many games we win, or how much adversity she has faced, losing Marta, then Rae, then Keyen.
Personally, I think when she came here to Coach, she hit the ground running. In her first year here, we beat several SEC teams we lost to the year before, even though we no longer had Cheriden Green, Westbrook or Collins, and Zaay Green got injured and was out, then gone.
Don’t want to repeat myself about Kellie being hired a month before signing day her first year, then had Covid restrictions the second year, still got a couple of grad students and a player from Spain, and a highly rated Freshman class this year.
Kellie is smart, relentless, a Champion, a tireless worker, and even personable. Personally, I think Kellie is a great Coach now, the Final Fours and National Championships will come, I‘m just giving some people here time to realize it.
