Kellie Harper, a former Vols player, was fired today by Tennessee. Could create a bit of a carousel in the coaching world. Really liked the woman, thought she brought a lot of excitement and energy to her team. But I don't think she ever made it to the second weekend of the tournament.

.675 win percentage - seems like there is more to the story on this one.

I assume lack of a conference championship. Tennessee has expectations.

With South Carolina and LSU in the conference, with a likely up and coming Kentucky, and the addition of Texas, seems like a tall order for any coach.

You are correct. And in her defense, she finished 5th this year. In her first three years she finished third.

If they want to continue with the Summitt tree, might look to Kara Lawson at Duke, except she hasn't done much better than Harper.

Could they already have someone? I know that is how Texas operates now. Fire someone one day and name their replacement the following day.

Every conference is getting tougher because of parity and also because every P-whatever conference has more teams in them than they did before. Even losing UT and OU, our conference may be stronger next year. Our string of conference championships is kind of like UConn's string of FF appearances and NCs. Both were done before parity came about. Likely will not be done again and coaches shouldn't be held to those comparisons. Such comparisons are unrealistic. Be thankful for any championship you can win. They are going to be harder and harder to come by.

They are hiring head coach from Marshall. First time coach has no affiliation with Pat Summitt.
