Potential New Coach Names

...and Fortier made $632,000 for the 24 season at Gonzaga.

The Lady Vols have been irrelevant in the Regional Finals since Coach Summitt left the program. I don't think Coach Caldwell is the answer, but she deserves a chance to see her offense click with players who want to play in it and not just paid mercenaries from other schools. I feel she deserves at least 1-2 more years. She took a team to the Sweet 16 last year with a big win over the eventual national champion.

Coach admitted she overestimated her ability to coach P4 players. In the portal age we live in now, the scare tactics and public embarrassing don't always get the expected result.

Unfortunately the system now makes them all paid mercenaries

Some comments first: I'm out on Walz and Brenda. They have it made at their current schools and I see no reason they'd leave. Also I feel like they're riding on reputations that haven't quite stacked up in the last decade. Kara Lawson would be the obvious choice, but I think she's enjoying what she's building at Duke and wants to have a legacy beyond the LVs (just like Shea at Vandy). Johnston at SDSU seems to be the kind of coach who can do more with less, but not sure if he has the chops to build a team to compete in the SEC.

So my pick for this thought experiment ... Vic Schaefer at Texas, formerly of Mississippi State. $2.3 million salary from a quick Google search.

- Proven success at multiple schools, including building up programs.
- Ability to recruit.
- Abundance of experience coaching in the SEC.

On paper it makes a lot of sense to me. That said, I don't think TN could lure him away or if he'd even want to move on.

Vic's got that Texas money, has it made a Texas much moreso that Frese or Walz, and he's 10 years older than Frese and Walz.

Vic leaving Texas is 0%
Kim leaving LSU is 0%
Dawn leaving SC is 0%
Geno leaving UConn is 0%

Clarity. Thank you.

…wanna bet they continue to show up on every “potential coach” search list?
