I think it’s so far past Pat now that “Final Four or bust!” Is finally out of the expectation but that would not a fun job.

FF or bust may be out but making the FF still isn’t going to be some crowning achievement either. It’s a no win job with no advantages.

The impression I get is that many LV fans expect and demand a Pat-level of domination in a sport that has gotten so much deeper since she left. It's a no win job as you said because what many fans want to achieve, I think, is impossible. The world's biggest d-bag Geno doesn't even achieve at that level anymore, and 2 of the best programs in that sport are in the SEC now.

The LVs weren't even awful this year (5th in SEC) but you'd think they'd gone 0-16 based on some of the comments the fans make.

To be fair they looked pretty mediocre though. Sloppy, lazy, slow paced. They aren't a fun watch.

It’s true. Because of the end as well and because of how long she looked over the program, Pat’s shadow will always be looming over the program. You could win 3 national titles in a 8 year period and it’s still “well yeah but they’re not Pat”.

I agree, but part of that is they look sloppy, lazy, and slow paced relative to a very high expectation. They look like (and have been, for the last several years) a run of the mill program, which I get is below expectations, but lots of LV fans act like they lose every game.

I did not realize she played in the wnba and coached D1 basketball at the same time for years.

And she played at Virginia, so it’s not like she has a long-standing allegiance to South Carolina, even though she built that program. I say that having zero knowledge of what their program was like before she got there, but historically, LVBB is miles beyond South Carolina and I think she would excel in Knoxville.
