We can disagree on that one. NCSU is playing lights out and Stanford and Texas are pretty darned good teams. The LVs probably made it as far as they could this year even with a player like Jackson.
So wait. He's staying? lol

Have you watched them this year? 9 times out of 10, when they were getting run out of the gym, they ended up staging a huge comeback and staying in games until the end. Down 20+ vs. SC in the SEC tourney, they had that game won except for Kellie's miraculous ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Even the last game this year vs. NCST where they mounted yet another huge comeback but fell short yet again. Her lost expression when they would fall behind wasn't the issue. It's that a.) they had no business falling behind so badly to begin with and b.) her awful in-game decision making (i.e. the 1.1 sec that will live in infamy). DW did the right thing in moving on from her, and hopefully the next coach will bring back a good product to the arena.
That statement was said to be false and had to be retracted.
thanks. i was skeptical
Not true. That was that shill "reporter" Maria Cornelius falsely "reporting" this because she heard from a friend who read it on Twitter who knows someone who overheard someone that knows Danny White's hairdresser.
It's of A'ja. Don't think she gets to make that call.
Just waded through 25 pages of VolNation shock over this firing.
Most seemed to feel that though Kellie is a good person, it was time for a change in coach. Many also want to get away from hiring anyone that would be considered part of the "Summitt tree," and go after ("poach") a "big-time" hire.
This article has a suggested list of coaches that might consider the job:

According to those 25 pages of VolNation, these are the people who should be considered for the job (a few of them are listed in the above article, which is why I listed it first). Reasons pro/con and availability will vary! In alphabetical order:

No there is one of Dawn about to go up. The initial version was panned as not looking like her, so it went back to the shop for some touchups.It's of A'ja. Don't think she gets to make that call.
Since making the NC, things have not gone great in AZ. Our PAC correspondents indicate that she seems to have learned from her mistakes and appears to be turning the corner, but not a splashy hire and a lot of question marks.
A bit harsh on Frese who has an NC and multiple F4s.
Hahaha, the LVs HATE Brenda. They had this theory that she alleged TN violations in the recruiting of Parker. And that she poached that guard from the 6-pack class.
