Message: [QUOTE="Bayareahusky, post: 4071858, member: 2136"] i think the Tenn athletic department shot itself in the foot..... First Pat handed off the whistle to Holly and one could tell immediately, even the year where she filled in for Pat..... that she was not HC material.... terrible coach.... yet Fullmer kept her in that spot for 7 years.... how can a top flight program surrender to mediocrity like that.... shameful IMHO...holly got the recruits she just was not a leader..... and didnt command respect..... Lawson chose not to entertain the idea of becoming coach... though she is loyal to the Lady Vols and Pats memory.... I think the Duke job came up and it was too good an opportunity to pass on.... as for Kelly.... well she is better than Holly of course.... but Tenn is in danger of becoming irrelevant.... no Final Fours in the last 13 years and counting.... and now in conference there is Dawn and Mulkey as well..... Notre Dame football hasnt won a national title since 1988, but at least they are in the mix every year..... they are competitive and thus relevant.... as for the LVs you dont see them win the games they are supposed to win on a consistent basis..... losing 5 straight to Alabama e.g. I have contended that the most important player on WCBB team is actually the HC..... so Kelly off to a reasonable start her first couple of years..... let's see if she can push the needle forward [/QUOTE]
