If we get her, we will lose all our players and drop like a rock I think

Players will see this as a step backwards, as in "what can she teach me?" Unlike KB, she does not have years of successful coaching behind her. That won't attract high level players. I don't think she will have much talent from Rice to bring over. We may get some decent mediocre players off the portal. We will be down in the bottom 3rd of the conference and will stay there for *at least* a few years. She may be able to recruit and if so perhaps over time things will slowly improve. But hey - won't cost VT too much, and more $$ can go to football.

Harsh, why should we listen to you? **
Stech • 04/02/24 08:06 PM ET
We are not going to get the upper tier candidates. Plus, can't afford them.**
hokie77 • 04/02/24 07:55 PM ET
We were going to pay Kenny over a million.
Hokie_Forester • 04/02/24 08:34 PM ET
She is a very good coach and no we want slide into an abyss backwards
Hokie83 • 04/02/24 07:27 PM ET

j9hokie • 04/02/24 07:28 PM ET
Her past History and talking with people who are connected with WBB..
Hokie83 • 04/02/24 07:31 PM ET
83, do you know what Edmonds is currently making under contract at Rice?
hokie77 • 04/02/24 08:08 PM ET

Hokie83 • 04/02/24 08:14 PM ET
THank for for your permission. My tirade probably is not yet over.**
j9hokie • 04/02/24 07:40 PM ET
No coach would prevent girls wanting to stay with KB at KY if invited.**
hokie77 • 04/02/24 07:58 PM ET
Should be though.....**

Your welcome and enjoy it...:)**
Hokie83 • 04/02/24 07:47 PM ET
OK, that was funny :)**
j9hokie • 04/02/24 07:51 PM ET
I don't dislike that hire but I'd prefer Harper. **
Hokie_Forester • 04/02/24 06:59 PM ET
IMO, Harper will get offers from schools closer to what she was making @ Tn
hokie77 • 04/02/24 08:01 PM ET
She'll be asking for at least $1 million / year...
Old Line Hokie • 04/02/24 06:45 PM ET
If you look at Kellie Harper's coaching history (i.e. Western Carolina,
VTHokie2000 • 04/02/24 08:40 PM ET
I don't think she's getting a $1 million/year anywhere.
Hokie_Forester • 04/02/24 06:52 PM ET
Plus she has buyout money in the bank **
DGHOKIE • 04/02/24 07:27 PM ET
She's been fired twice. I think zero chance she would get a top 10 salary.
vatechcowpatty • 04/02/24 06:49 PM ET
She took Tennessee to 4 straight tournaments, making the sweet 16 twice.
Hokie_Forester • 04/02/24 06:57 PM ET
Ok, but she shouldn't get a top 10 salary. No way we pay her more than
vatechcowpatty • 04/02/24 06:58 PM ET
I agree 100%. I'd be ok in the $750k range. **
Hokie_Forester • 04/02/24 07:00 PM ET
She's been to the NCAA Tournament 9 times in her 20 years as coach...
Old Line Hokie • 04/02/24 06:54 PM ET
Someone may but I just can't see it. A fired coach getting top 20 coach
Hokie_Forester • 04/02/24 07:01 PM ET
Harper wouldn't have been fired at 341 of the 351 D-1 WBB schools...
Old Line Hokie • 04/02/24 07:13 PM ET
I have idea Wbb due .,,
MrFantastic! • 04/02/24 06:48 PM ET
Did she have a highly rated recruiting class coming in?
