What would you do If you were the AD hiring a women's basketball Coach.

[Volfan2012]

The stipulations are that you can't pay more than one million dollars that is all you want to spend as a budget. You can get anyone you like as long as they are willing to accept a salary under a million.


I would go out and get Rick Byrd to come in for two seasons as head coach or some older person with enormous coaching experience. I would hire Kara Lawson as Associate Head coach and she would be the coach in waiting after Byrd two year contract ran out. This would be an opportunity for Kara to run the team under the guidance of a coach that is totally experienced that has done a marvelous job coaching for several decades. I think this would satisfy most Tennessee fans some that want Kara regardless of experience and others that say would be bad because she has no head coaching experience in WCCB play. I really don't know if he would accept maybe there are others that would, but the deal would be they would only be coach for a couple of seasons it would be Kara's job after that period of time.

This is just an hypothesis certainly don't think anything like this will happen, but something to do while we wait for a coach to be named.

Well you captured my comment already - I'll leave it at that.

Dang didn’t realize there was an English grade on the post. Some people need to take the approach of listen to what I sat, not how I say it.

And some people need to learn to take a joke.

English is a mostly forgotten art. Listen to people doing sports, they butcher the language. Doubt they can write it any better. (they make Dizzy Dean seem like an english professor)

NO!

The first thing I would do would be check out the Lady Vol forum to feel the pulse of Lady Vol fans and avail myself of their expertise. Finding so many names being bandied about as possible coach hires, the next thing I would do is start a poll. When the results of the poll were in by I'd hire the fan favorite.

Perhaps you should stand and we would understand more clearly.

I would make a list of existing coaches who have coached a team to the final 4. Whittle it down to 4 names, then go after them whatever it takes. Hopefully that is being done.

You need to also consider any VFL that thinks they should be considered to avoid pissing them off. Nice to say you were strongly considered if you did not get a job you feel like you deserve.

Get a coach with experience in the job description.

 

[gymmlover]

Ivey or Harper. Have to think UT will not pay a lot unless I am wrong. Ivey or Harper and staff will cost less then $1 million. Program is not making money at the present but could with a few good years. But really anyone could do better then Holley, even most of the high school coaches in Tennessee.

Ernie Grunfeld needs a job...well, maybe does need one.

I try to be polite. I try to stay out of controversy. I try to be respectful. I try to be understanding.

Hi, @BUBear . Good luck in game.

(Nice jab to the UNC “program”.)

IF I WAS AD... I would be socking money in the bank as best I could because I know that no matter who is hired, the fangs will be out for me.
