Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3093186, member: 1131"] If I were the Tennessee AD and I had decided that Holly needs to go, I would not look to hire a "name" head coach. A successful mid-major coach, such as those at Buffalo, Quinnipiac, or Marquette, might make sense. Another possibility is a top assistant in his/her thirties or early forties who has the ability and ambition to be the Alex Cora of WCBB. I can think of one such person on the UConn bench who even has a geographic and cultural connection to the SEC region. I also took note of Rebecca's and Andy Landers's comments today on ESPN. Rebecca did make an implied criticism of the Tennessee coaching, but both she and Landers were emphatically critical of Evina Westbrook's comments, basically saying that as a college sophomore she had no right to make them. They may be right, but one thing that a player certainly does have a right to do is transfer when and if she loses confidence in the coaching staff. I think that might well happen. Of course, one could ask why she chose Tennessee over Notre Dame when she was a senior in high school. [/QUOTE]
