And yet you keep typing. The posts you have made on this subject is some of the worse logic you can construct in writing. Kim has added a coach with a good resume, good reputation, and success across various stops in his career. Several people on social media attested to his coaching ability and it’s clearly a win for CKC & Tennessee.
Somehow you think I’m being proven wrong by this level of logic? I will continue to post to keep letting you do this to yourself.
Thanks in advance. The jokes write themselves when I see your responses post by post. Not many with basketball knowledge on this hire is laughing with you but I’m sure plenty are laughing at it.

It’ll be all on Danny White. This is all his call, his responsibility. The proverbial couch of failure will burn on HIS lawn.

He doesn’t care. He literally doesn’t care. It’s a simple truth that I’ve come to accept that’s been written on the wall since he went and found a a D2 coach in the basement in West Virginia. The man doesn’t care about Lady Vol sports. Why? Because he isn’t one of us.

Hi Kim. Good to see you’re up and running early today. Love how you fired the best recruiter in the country and replaced him with another Hispanic dude ** as if none of the players would notice. The fact you keep saying she didn’t ask out of her LOI doesn’t make it any less true. The titanic is sinking and you’re planted firmly in your deck chair on the top deck. You’re the only one who doesn’t seem to hear the music yet.

** While I agree with the thrust of your comment, I wonder about the “Hispanic” reference. Ferrara is Italianate in origin. It has Hispanic and Lusitano/Galician correspondents, Ferrera and Ferreira. The all derive from a late Latin term for iron monger ot blacksmith.
The gentleman in question may very well be of Hispanic origin ; I don’t know. His name doesn’t suggest it.

It was a joke, although I appreciate the level of depth you put into rebutting it 👍😝

She herself said in multiple media availabilities that the failures were on her. Don't project what posters have said over what Kim has actually said.
She didn't "turn over" anything to assistants. Different assistants have different roles, just like they do on every staff. Gabe was lead recruiter. But in every photo from the summer travel circuit last year, Kim and often Jenna were right next to him. He wasn't the only one hosting portal kids, either. As another poster noted, Barker credited Kim for getting her. Which means Kim owns the challenges that Barker brought just as much as she owns her 14 points per game. Jenna manages the rotations inside the game, utilizing the system and flow that the staff draws up for each game based on the personell and the scout. Different coaches have the scout for each game, assisting with the gameplan.

The point is that anyone blaming Kim for 100% of the issues is wrong. Anyone who says she is blameless for ANY area of the program is ALSO 100% wrong. She's the head coach and she hires assistants with different strengths and experiences to put together a full staff. But every coach is out actively recruiting. And everuy coach is an active part of player development and retention.

Gabe being the recruiting coordinator doesn't change that. He gets credit for helping Tennessee sign the recruiting and portal classes that it did. He also gets some criticism for putting together SOME players that may not have properly meshed with the system, the staff or each other. It's all part of the story.

Yep, that’s why I said I had a hard time believing that it was all Gabe. No coach should give total control for who is on the team to assistants. She has the vision so she should have the final say on who is joining. Buck should stop with her,

He cares about maximizing revenue, minimizing costs. That's it.

You think on a recruiting visit to Tennessee where Oliviyah Edwards committed to the Lady Vols while meeting Peyton Manning & Candace Parker… she is leaving after 1 year in Knoxville to follow a recruiting coordinator? To the same place she canceled her visit to LSU?
While Kim Mulkey was the head coach and still is the head coach? For a recruiting coordinator?
Man can’t make this stuff up with these people.

I never worry about another year total focus is on next year. Edwards is a Lady Vol next season and we'll have a coaching change if we don't win more next season that this one.

Do it. Makes perfect sense.
It’s not like Oliviyah Edwards ever canceled a prior visit to big LSU… hold up wait a minute????
Nevermind the truth you would 100% win your bet so place it.

If there was a way I could bet on a transfer in DraftKings, I'd put $5,000 on Edwards transferring after one season with us. 😂

Yes. There's a reason she referred to him as "My Coach." Get off here and go to work Kim, You got a whole damn roster to rebuild!
