Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 4818409, member: 6485"] I agree, none of the top line of coaches are leaving their current jobs. I also felt in 2019 when Holly was fired it was going to be a tall order to coax one of those to Knoxville. Fulmer seemed to go with the safe choice meaning a female who happened to play for Pat and had been moderately successful at her previous program with limited resources, in addition to being a Tennessee native. I felt it was a good, not great hire but was willing to wait and see. The recruiting is a bigger problem than game coaching at this point. Beyond Jacskon and Spear, would any of their players see real minutes on a top 10 team? I don't think they would and that's just being honest. I don't think UT is a bad program right now, but they are a very average one. Harper's biggest program though seems to be recruiting even after she made staff changes. If she can't get better players, she won't be able to get them where the fans feel they belong. [/QUOTE]
