I said before I thought a young up and coming coach might be the way to go. I would have liked to have seen a bit more success at more than one stop, but that is certainly not the only factor that was considered. What worries me is that if I understand correctly she presses constantly, bombs...

No, hopefully it will be more like the 39 days it took Alabama to hire Saban as far as results go in turning around a stagnant program.

By the time this search is done y'all will have tried on more coaches than Imelda Marcos tried on shoes. That is not so bad, but the way people fight over each rumor as if it is true is hilarious.

I am ALL IN for her then!!!

I had heard there was some dissension towards the end of the season from a decent source. If so, that can also explain why an AD would feel he needed to move.

No one who knows basketball was even remotely surprised she was let go. This is why the narrative about other coaches being scared to come here because our standards are too high is just silly. And she was always handled with kid-gloves compared to how someone less likable and cherished would...

That's true. And that is kind of the range of levels that are beneath what people are excited about. So I am saying you can pick from that range and it still may be the best hire.

I would not be disappointed with a Fortier or a Miller. In fact, part of me thinks that may be the way to go if they hold up to vetting and you can establish that their success is not due to just being in a non-competitive league or some situation they just fell into where they ended up being...

That is not how any of this works.

I always suspected this. If true, she was doomed from the start and should have been replaced sooner.

Does anyone know how Kellie felt about NIL and if there was any resistance there or a desire to do things the old school way --- at least when she first took the job? She doesn't seem like the sort who adjusts to change well so I have often wondered this since the other UT sports seem to have...

This ^^^ It was the obvious move. She was not competitive against the group of teams she was hired to beat. In the past we would have waited until the wheels came off and made rebuilding extremely difficult, but we have a better AD who is proactive now. Hiring a replacement will be a...

In literature, that would have been considered foreshadowing. And that is what I told my wife when it happened.

Kellie is what her record against top 25 teams says she is --- a below average coach who will lose the vast majority of her games against teams with similar talent. That is not going to change at this point in her career. Either your are happy competing for third in the SEC and going out in...

We shouldn't have been a lower seed, but Kellie schedules in a ridiculous fashion and she has an abysmal record against top 25 teams. Give Wes Moore her team and he would have gotten an even higher seed than he did at NC State.
