Title: The last time the Lady Vols weren't ranked... Post by: Creek Walker on February 22, 2016, 09:59:37 EST ...I was in kindergarten.
The question of whether Holly Warlick will still be leading the Lady Vol program last year shouldn't even be a question. Title: Re: The last time the Lady Vols weren't ranked... Post by: LouisVOL on February 23, 2016, 12:15:51 EST Agreed. That we have fallen this far this quickly is unthinkable. Pride alone should dictate that we find someone to return us to the top echelon. Not saying we have to again be THE premier program, because the landscape has changed. But we cannot allow not even being relevant to continue.

That we have fallen this far this quickly is unthinkable the older you get, the faster time flies, but even at my age I would not say year five of the "Holly Era" is "this quickly". You might be a tad older than me though. :naughty: Title: Re: The last time the Lady Vols weren't ranked... Post by: BanditVol on February 23, 2016, 01:33:09 EST As to the point by the OP, the season is not over yet. A run into the Final Four can still save it for Holly.
And to head off all the "ernt ner way bubba!" responses, yeah I know it's not likely. Anything is possible though. Title: Re: The last time the Lady Vols weren't ranked... Post by: VinnieVOL on February 23, 2016, 01:40:04 EST I remember thinking, "following Pat is impossible, we have to be patient because there's no way Holly can just pick right up where Pat left off."
But I could've never imagined they could spiral downward so suddenly. I think back to so many years when I took Pat's LV's for granted. Even through the ups and downs of the men's sports, we always had that sure thing that was Pat. It was just part of life... The sun rose, it set, and LV bball ruled sirpreme. :bawl: Title: Re: The last time the Lady Vols weren't ranked...

Zero early signees, zero commits for the April signing period. Title: Re: The last time the Lady Vols weren't ranked...

Zero early signees, zero commits for the April signing period. That's a really bad sign, like Dooley practically didn't recruit his final year. Has Holly already given up? :doh: Title: Re: The last time the Lady Vols weren't ranked...

At their current rate they will make the tourney only on past performance. One and done is a far more likely outcomeTitle: Re: The last time the Lady Vols weren't ranked...

The question of whether Holly Warlick will still be leading the Lady Vol program last year shouldn't even be a question. It shouldn't be a question, but it will be. For this particular athletic director to fire this particular coach was always going to be tough to politically pull off anyway. But now add a Title IX lawsuit into the mix, and it's not gonna happen as long as Hart is around. Title: Re: The last time the Lady Vols weren't ranked... Post by: BanditVol on February 24, 2016, 05:04:07 EST :rolleyes: Yeah and who replaces Holly is just at the top of my list of things I could GAS about. Not. Honestly, have you even watched the Lady Vols this year? I haven't. More honestly, would you watch them if it wasn't basically your job to do so? I seriously doubt it. :naughty: |
