Exactly. The chants of "fahr Harper" are loud and clear on the Tennessee board. They were so eager to get rid of Warlick that they completely overlooked the tremendous recruiting she did, starting with convincing Russell to come to Tenn before her freshman year but right after Pat retired.

Holly always had a stable full of top 10 and top 20 recruits. But she ran the same offense as Pat - dribble the ball around, chuck up a shot, most of the time it won't go in, so crash the boards. But at least Holly could recruit.

Now you have Kelly running the same offense, but with no athletic players in the post, and they don't have the athletes (or discipline) to play really good man to man defense for any length of time.

Side note I don't really know why Tennessee fans have their knickers in a twist - they have lost to all teams they "should" have (ND, Indiana, Florida State, and Ohio State), and they have a nice win over Oklahoma. Tennessee is right on the cusp of top 25, and their record bears that out.
