Title: Re: Nope, Phil. Nope. Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on April 10, 2018, 10:10:34 EDT I suppose that I shouldn't be surprised, but I am.
Title: Re: Nope, Phil. Nope. Post by: BanditVol on April 10, 2018, 11:17:41 EDT A two year extension without a bump is meaningless. So is a two year extension with a small bump.
Three year with a large bump and I'll be upset. Did anyone really expect her to get fired right now? I didn't. Did anyone expect no extension? I didn't. The degree of extension and size of bump will determine my attitude towards this. A two year no cost extension is really just giving her more time to finish hanging herself. I'd rather see that than a rushed and botched fire/re-hire. Title: Re: Nope, Phil. Nope. Post by: Black Diamond Vol on April 10, 2018, 11:25:32 EDT A two year extension without a bump is meaningless.

If we use Phil himself as an example, I thought the extension and raise that Hamilton gave him in spring of 2008 was too much. Then turned around and fired him right away. :frown: If you're going to fire Holly now, fire her. If not, then the extension and buyout should be modest. What might be telling is how long the negotiations drag on. I have seen cases like this go into the season. If I was Phil, I wouldn't be in a big hurry to ink anything. Unless he thinks it might have a big effect on this year's recruiting. But even then, let's not make a multi year mistake to save one recruiting class.... Title: Re: Nope, Phil. Nope. Post by: volsboy on April 11, 2018, 06:54:02 EDT Why does a coach that led the Lady Vols to a 7th seed in the SEC tourney even have a job, much less looking at an extension? They are going to keep her hanging around just like they did B. Jones. I hope I am wrong.
Title: Re: Nope, Phil. Nope. Post by: droner on April 11, 2018, 08:02:22 EDT There was no way she would get fired this year. Make no mistake about it, I'm not happy with her job performance. But a school would look pretty bad to fire a coach who just brought in the #1 class and is bringing in a top five class this year. I think Fulmer is giving her the opportunity to see what she can do with both of these classes. But's that could be like giving someone enough rope to hang themselves.
I won't guarantee that she will still be the coach next year. Title: Re: Nope, Phil. Nope. Post by: BanditVol on April 11, 2018, 11:48:44 EDT There was no way she would get fired this year.

Ideally it will be a short extension with little to no additional money and a buyout that is capped pretty tightly. |
