Different eras and caliber programs back then, but valid point.  Nicki Collin didn’t have any head coaching experience and she has done a heck of a job with the Dream this season.

I’d welcome Kara in a heartbeat.  I don’t know how her interpersonal skills are (although she seems quite likeable), but she clearly has the knowledge to be a great coach and understands the Xs and Os quite well. How well she teaches and manages a team remains to be seen. I have zero doubt she’d be a great recruiter and would be able to target a certain personality types that will blend well with her coaching style, similar to Geno/Muffet.

I can’t imagine a program of Tennessee’s caliber hiring someone without any head coaching experience, or at least extensive assistant coaching experience, but I’d rather give Kara a shot than Holly.  Top of my wish list includes Rueck, Schaefer, Lawson, Ralph, Banghart, Collen and Ivey.  All are long shots but if I was the AD that’s who I’d target.
