Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 3525340, member: 6485"] Coaching tree can get complicated when one considers players verses assistant coaches. Pat became a head coach at 22, fresh off of a degree, in a different era. That will never happen again. She basically got to hand pick every person to associate with the UT program from players to coaches. Pat coached tons of players over the years who would eventually become coaches at all levels. Additionally, consider Pat honestly had very few assistant coaches under her when one considers a 38 year career because they stayed, were loyal to her, and were part of one of the top programs. There will likely never be another situation like that again given how players transfer, assistants often stay for fewer years before moving on and how there are more programs that get national attention, still not enough but it's more than in the 80s and early 90s.
