Change is needed for us to get back to a championship level. The longer we keep Harper, the deeper the hole we will have to dig out of when we inevitably do have to make a change I’m afraid.

I like KH and really wanted her to be successful. She seems like a nice person and is very down to earth. At the end of the day, though, she’s not getting it done in the court or on the recruiting trail.

The Lady Vol brand will always be able to get 20 wins over middling teams.

1-7 against elite teams isn’t good enough

I don’t know. We’re a generation away from losing the brand completely. Another 15 years of mediocrity and we become LA Tech. The name across the jersey only means something for so long. Just like football, you have to win to get the recruits. I think Danny White would make a hire capable of restoring the program.

I agree. It’s nothing personal against Kellie. I wouldn’t want to follow Pat’s legacy.

I don’t fear LA Tech fate because of our Athletics budget but we certainly don’t need to try and keep down this road

I think the worry is if we keep down this (let’s try another year with Kellie) we are going to end up in the Butch 2017 year where we totally implode (in our case not make the tourney)

Not this year but eventually

Your post is on point but you will get called out by some for telling the truth

And that’s absolutely where this is headed next year. Look at the roster and tell me where the wins are going to be. Only hope is if Kellie schedules like Mulkey did this year.

I dont think it has improved at all under KJ. This is bad basketball all the way around.

I agree, I love her to death because of what she accomplished as a player here and she will always be a VFL but I am thinking she is in over her head here...Her teams do not have any fire to them, It's like they are just showing up and hoping they win...We are in danger of not making the NCAA tournament for the first time ever...That horrifies me to even think about.

That’s my one ding against Mulkey. Should be illegal to schedule like that or whoever did it

And I think most of us now are comparing Harper to her contemporaries—not her predecessors. It just isn’t there, hey….

This is spot on. It’s not Pat people are putting her against. That was always unfair for Holly but almost unavoidable.

With Kellie mostly people are comparing her to coaching contemporaries. At the moment it’s really looking like she just can’t quite beat the best. She’s really close, but we aren’t there. Plain and simple.

If Kellie doesn’t make it to sweet 16 she needs to be gone. She has had long enough to make this program better but it is no better than when Holly was coaching.

I really don't think that a Sweet Sixteen is good enough at this point with Kara Lawson one state over.
