    How good is the team Coach Caldwell will inherit?

    That's easy. She's contacting anyone and everyone in the portal who she thinks can play her system in the SEC. And she already knows who they are, because I guarantee you she intended to work the hell out of the portal even if she had remained at Marshall. Being at Tennessee just means she can...

    Thoughts on the hire of Kim Caldwell

    From some crappy website at an Alabama TV network that didn't even have ratings for this a year ago, when she wasn't coaching. (I checked on the Internet Archive.) Anyway, using something more legitimate, like the ratings at sports-reference.com, we get that Marshall in 2023-24 was the 82nd...

    Thoughts on the hire of Kim Caldwell

    I'm cautiously optimistic. White did what I hoped he would do, which is to hire someone with no ties to the program. And he hired someone with an extremely good record over several years, albeit at lower levels. The woman can clearly coach to have put up a record like that, and that's good. But...

    Official: UT hires Kim Caldwell as the new coach for Lady Vols basketball

    Then I guess she'd better start working that portal, hard.

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

    I never advocated for trying to hire Staley now. That wasn't the point of what I was responding to. She isn't going anywhere but Columbia. The point was that she was a "home run hire" when SC got her.

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

    Geno got Sarah Strong this morning. I told a friend he must have some sort of deal with the devil or something. Caitlin took a shot at a natty away from him, and less than 24 hours later, he signs a player who will likely get him a few more. Anyway, Sarah had everyone in the country begging for...

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

    Heupel, I didn't think was a "home run," but I knew he was good. I was fine with that hire, and he has exceeded my expectations. He could have gone 3-9, 7-6, 9-4 and that would have been fine, given the mess he inherited. But Staley? Hell yes. She went 172-80 and went to six NCAAs in eight...

    Or Kellie Harper winning a lot of games at Western Carolina and Missouri State...?

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

    June 14, 2022: https://ukathletics.com/news/2022/06/14/womens-basketball-gail-goestenkors-announces-end-to-on-court-coaching-career/ She was a "special assistant to the head coach" since then, not an assistant coach. Probably does stuff like break film down between games. And, as I said, Elzy...

    Players who did not get a fair shake

    Or the FBS level, apparently.

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

    Her time has past, and she announced a few years back that she was retired from coaching, anyway. She left Duke, went to Texas, and produced the same kind of results there that we just fired KJH for producing. Texas didn't fire her, but she basically fired herself. A few years later, when Duke...

    Maria Cornelius has retracted her claim that Kellie was offered a path forward if...

    That would be an absurd notion, anyway. DW could have kept KJH on for another year and no one would have screamed bloody murder. He's earned the right to stay the course with a coach producing good-but-not-great results. He's running one of the best all-around athletic departments in the best...

    The Houston Roughnecks have named Jarrett Guarantano the starting quarterback

    Weinke hasn't been the same since he lost his last college game. Some quarterback he beat out for the Heisman that season totally outplayed him in a battle of great defenses for the natty. I wonder what happened to that other quarterback? He seemed smart as hell. Bet he'd have been a great coach.

    Coach Kellie Harper fired

    If Danny White even so much as talked to a coach with a connection to Geno, the Pat Mafia would call Putin and ask how much it would cost to get some Novichok or Polonium-210.

    Harper’s future

    She's young enough to go back to the mid-major level, win 100 games in four years, and get another crack at the big-time. If she wants it. She's made some money and might just retire from coaching. And I'm not even sure she wouldn't succeed at another P5 program. She tried to replace Shug Yow...
