I went over there earlier and saw a thread about how their fans were happy they didn't try to hire Vic Schaefer

Well Vic would have been a great hire for them..... But they are still caught up in the Pat Summit halo.... how she was perfect and everyone going forth must be like her.... must be female..... must have played for her.... must by definition be Tenn grad... even though Pat was Tennessee-Martin.....

Vic is male yes, but he has proven that he can take lemons and make lemonade..... the good freshman he had this year was the very first McDonalds All American ever to come to Starkville.... ya and how about getting people to come to Starkville....

I think, personally, that UT is not intent on vying for top in WCBB, it is content with merely being competitive.... several points to buttress this.... one of which is that they did not do a full blown search to replace either Pat or Holly.

I also think Vivians was his first Top 25 Girls recruit. She didn't earn McDonald's but was close.

There's NO THREAD dedicated to how happy the LV fan were in not hiring Vic Schaefer on Vol Nation.....Shame on you for that falsehood...

Some fans wanted Vic, others did not, and that is the facts....When Geno steps down, this board will have the same discussions of who they want to hire.....

very surprised that VV was not a McDonald's All-American. Her and Teira formed an unbelievable inside-out game with some spot 3's from Blair. I honestly do not know if Vic will have that kind of fortune again, his recruiting of Rickea aside.

One thing i liked about Vivians is that she came to play every night.... very seldom did I see her have a bad night Her effort was great

Mmm, I really liked her too but as I recall, she was benched during the Senior Year OOC for not hustling on defense over few different games...Vic had to send a message and the message was received, so she learned, however that sort of disputes your narrative.

Yes i saw her only a handful of times (less than 10) so I will defer to you on this one.... nonetheless an impressive player.... Vic did quite well in Starkville..... and I am sure he will continue in Austin....

Speaking of Tenn, does anyone know whether Nikki McCray's name was ever in conversation during the new coach search after Holly? One year apart from new head coach hires, at Tenn and Miss St, should make an interesting comparison between Kellie and Nikki as they go forward.

No discussion really as Nikki only had 2 years of coaching at that point and Kellie was having that awesome run with Mizzou State plus 2 other head coaching gigs. I was just glad they didn't fall for the Nikki Caldwell overbloated resume.
