Kim Caldwell (Rookie Coach of the Year-WBCA) is named Head Coach of Iconic Lady Vols WBB

That’s what I was told, so I have no idea what”A lot” is. Assuming more than than DW was thinking he was going to get by letting go of Harper. But again, I’m just the messenger. Heard he’ll pick someone soon though because it’s not a good look for him to take this long and not get Staley, Walz, Hammon, Gottlieb, or Lawson. Even though I’ve heard Lawson wasn’t a consideration and they think Staley would never do it.

Multiple journalists have reported that Walz wasn’t even contacted so how does your source(s)expect DW to hire a coach that didn’t even receive consideration? Neither do I believe Kara Lawson was offered.
Also it’s likely been a two-three full day window of interviews. How many people during a job search like this is actually receiving an offer on day 4 basically with the job coming open late Monday? I say realistically maybe one or two at the most have received an official offer. Not “alot”
It doesn’t work that way.

an insider fight at midnight. THIS IS WHY I'M IN THIS THREAD!! .

From what I’ve heard. We’ve offered, and (multiple) coaches have said no.

Obviously, I’m some random guy on the internet. But I think that will come through when we announce someone that is head scratching from the coach we just fired. Once again, I have no names but comes from credible sources (to me).

Pure Bull.

That wasn’t said so I have no clue. Just wait. They don’t know, but said it will be underwhelming.

That wasn't hard. I made your post accurate.

There's a persistent rumor that it could be the Maggie Dixon Rookie Coach of the Year winner Kim (Stephens) Campbell out of Marshall.

While yes, she's a first-year mid-major coach with no P5 experience, from all I've read about her she very well could be someone who could be successful with her "high-octane offense AND defense." She's known for being an excellent, dynamic teacher of the game.

She also called Marshall her "longtime dream job" and was thrilled to be going home to West Virginia, so it's probably not her.

WhomEVER is hired I'll do my darnedest to support them. And if it is someone I am deeply disappointed about, I'll just keep my mouth shut, my typing fingers still, and hope with everything in me that I'm proven wrong about the person and they are wildly successful.

That's all that matters.

This is all based off of a post by one satirical Twitter account. Definitely doesn’t hold any water.

Stef Dolson was queen of illegal screens

That’s exactly who I was thinking of when I typed that!

I tell you what 175 is looking like our lucky number!

My source heard that if he doesn’t have a coach by Sunday, then he’s getting Indeed.

Read what room?

So you think we’ve called one person and they’ve agreed You’re the one who needs the padded room.

At this point i dont care who they hire. Pee standing or sitting. Skirts or a suit. Doesnt freaking matter. Just know the Xs and Os and the ability to game plan on the fly. And recruit like your job depends on it.

Kellie Harper is never going to love you

Cassidy Wood is also saying that she’s been in Knoxville interviewing and didn’t they say he was conducting interviews in Atlanta to keep it on the down low?

Correct

 

[volman128]

I don't understand why it's at 3pm and not prime time

They changed it a few years ago. I believe the women’s final used to be on Saturday night and the men’s final was on Friday.

The plus side is DW seems to care about all sports, for both genders. Doug Dickey only ever cared about football. Of course, back then, the AD was split between women and men, and we had Pat. But I remember Dickey actually giving a speech where he said as long as football is winning, nothing else mattered.

Ya'll remember we were told early this week to expect a hire by mid week (next) week. I do assume there will be movement this weekend and some things will start to leak Monday. It may not be directly from us but could be an extension and raise from USC (for example) followed by news that she had interviewed with TN. I think that then feeds the frenzy and we will get some crazy names tossed out there. I think Danny hires quickly at that point, not because he feels desperate, but because he will have already interviewed multiple candidates and he will be able to extend to his #2, or #3, or wherever he is on the list.

Update from the Atlanta Quality Inn: Overheard Danny telling his friend that Staley is coming. She will accept the trophy Sunday, will unveil her Orange shirt under her USC gear, look Darius Rucker in the eye and say “Suck it, Hootie! Go Big Orange!”

We’ve asked more than one person and they’ve said no. That’s all I know. And you have no more credibility than I do We’ll see after the announcement…

I have like 5 more credibility's than you

 

[airvols]

I’d like to congratulate Danny White he has Vol nation chasing it’s tail all over social media. We will know when we know, some of us will like the hire some of us will hate the hire. you gotta give DW credit for fixing the leaks in the athletic department.

Ah yes, I forgot to count the credibility jellybeans.

@chuckiepoo catching up on the 21 new pages in the thread tomorrow morning.. just to learn that the program is in shambles and we don't have a new coach yet.

 

[House|RockyTop]

Asked multiple people and were turned down? Couldn’t have been one of the top coaches in women’s basketball that wants the job! That’s the latest scoop! I’m starting to believe we haven’t offered anybody. Cause if it’s good enough for one of the Big 3 it’s certainly good enough for a head coach at USC or Duke lol.

 

[Mafiaboss]

Figure of speech. You don’t actually read. There’s not actually a room.

We’ve been turned down a lot.

By whom?
