Lady Vols Historic First?

[Voltopia]

Pat was a great Coach but the program had already started to slide, in her final years. More schools were grabbing top talent. It was no longer, Pat, Geno and Tara. Other schools were emerging. If we had Pat back, at the top of her game, the LV might still be no better than mediocre, with this team.

BOOOOOOO. Boo this person. Boo them.

Also, I agree about another year.

But back to the booing. "Program had started to slide?" Where does this come from? 2007 and 2008 were back to back national titles, she was still recruiting top talent after that, and probably suffering from the early symptoms of Alzheimers the final few years before her diagnosis and retirement in 2012. Oh and those last three years while she was fighting that fight? 32-3, 34-3, and 27-9. That's "starting to slide"?

BOOOOO.

Amazing. In the past, I have seen some of those who are now blasting DW and CKC, telling us all how great they were.

I still believe in DW. He has brought all the Vol programs back to respectability. I never expected CKC to be "lights out," for a few years. I thought she was too young and inexperienced to rebuild a program at U-T. I believe she has the capacity to learn and will do better. I don't believe DW should fire her...I believe all Coaches need at least 3 years to get their feet on the ground.

I believe the LV team does have some pretty good players. However, having a "bunch" of good players doesn't always translate to success. I don't believe some of these "good" players are coachable.

Pat was a great Coach but the program had already started to slide, in her final years. More schools were grabbing top talent. It was no longer, Pat, Geno and Tara. Other schools were emerging. If we had Pat back, at the top of her game, the LV might still be no better than mediocre, with this team. I may be wrong, but I am willing to give CKC another year.

We have a limit on how many SC fans are allowed on this site. Two, and you are not one of them.

Pat was better sick than 99.9 percent other coaches,but she would be ashamed of what lady vols have became.
