This is definitely an NIL-era hire. I think they?re going to back her with mountains of cash, to negate the recruiting advantage that some of the bigger names in this league would have over her. I?m not sure they would?ve made this hire a few years ago. But her on-court resume is excellent. I think she?ll do well.

it is a very incentive laden contract

Press Conference Tuesday to introduce her

Danny White statement:
?From the beginning, our goal has been to find a dynamic head coach who can restore our women?s basketball program to national prominence. Kim Caldwell is the ideal person to lead us,? athletic director Danny White said in a statement. ?Kim has a winning formula that she has successfully implemented everywhere she has coached, with a fast-paced, high-octane offense and pressure defense that has led to remarkable results.?

She has the basketball version of Heup's offense

Coach Caldwell statement:
?I am honored and humbled to accept the role as head coach of this historic program at the University of Tennessee,? Caldwell said in a statement. ?I can?t help but reflect on accepting the Pat Summitt Trophy three seasons ago and be moved by the great responsibility and opportunity of now leading and building upon the incredible Lady Vol tradition she built.?

Jobbed?  The illegal screen?  I thought it was the correct call.

it was

But...ask me if I care 

Just in case you are wondering...I do not! 

Do you care?

I sure as hell don't!

So they are mad about the change, and that it took so long? That makes no sense.

Took so long to hire a new coach
I guess the morons expected a snap of the fingers for a new coach to hate

I don't remember that. I looked it up and read that he was there, red shirted and then transferred to Winthrop.

What the heck?

Yes he was, left for a variety of reasons
Watch him play and you will understand one of the reasons

I am relieved that she isn't the pick.

Likewise, been a poor performer there

The Lady Vol MAFIA is exremely PISSED ad Danny White and Donde for making the change and taking "so long" to make the change
They are stupid morons livin in the past and apparently are CLUELESS about the game of basketball, other than Pat Summitt
That includes Maria IMO

Juan is my HERO - "... why are they even in the SEC?

I would have liked for him to hang around, but I like Carr better. Hopefully he stays put.

we need a backup PG and he was supposed to be that
This year she had three who could run the point, and did at times
2 of those are gone

Love Carr?s potential
He has never had a shot, anywhere on the court that he didn?t turn down

Jefferson maybe so
But, unlike Dillion he was active on the bench during games
Also, was a highlight real during one fly, all fly
Got hurt early in the tournament during warmups and was in a boot

Is Bru route running?  Thornton?

Really looking forward to this offense during the Fall.

Bru is working on the side, working on his lateral movement among other things
Thorton, by all accounts, is having a very good spring

Boo Carter is impressing
Mathews  and Brassrell are having good springs
Heard is learning
The young secondary is much more athletic, can they oimprove the secondary>
Two portal xfers are leading to start, including McCoy who most likeely will start across from Gibson
Reports indicate maybe 3 TEs who will play, a plus
Pili and Mayes are on strict pitch counts, allowing the younger LBs and OLs to get lots of reps

The 2nd scrimmage is tomorrow night
I expect the stories leaking out from it will go a long way towards who will be leading their groups out of quarter 2 (Spring Practice)

IMO, if we had a game Sat then Moore would be the B/U QB with Merk behind him

According to another site, she would have been allowed to stay on one more year if she had been willing to make major staff changes; in other words, get rid of her husband. She declined, according to the report and it was a mutual parting of ways.

If that is true, she did not want to keep the job imo.

Maria is as plugged in as anybody with regards to LVB
Got to know her a bit way back in the Gridscape days

I agree the weak link on her staff was her husband

In general, recruiting has suckd across the board
In game management from the staff has suffered IMO

BTW, I know this is real now, but I had to check to make sure when I first heard it. Seems like a PR misstep to announce it on April Fool?s day.  

HE saved UT $900K for waiting till today

Now we find out who?s really in charge of that program. If they replace her with Kara Lawson or another one of Pat?s girls, then it ain?t Danny White.

I don't see Danny White as a beta boi

I wish Kellie well
She has been, is and forever will be a VFL

I hope UConn beats them so bad they cry like bitches.

I hope they beat them like a red headed stepboi

The en is nye

The fact that it was Estrella in this rotation is telling
