You guys who want her fired are wasting your time. Where were you last year when there was a distinct possibility of it actually happening? This team is not near the level of our final four teams in the past decade. However, they're on track to win 20 games and make the NCAA tournament. Plus, right now she has the #19 recruiting class in the nation coming in. She ain't gettin' fired. Y'all are wasting your time. Yes, I AM disappointed that she does not have the program where we expected it to be when she was hired. But, considering she kicked off her best player last season (a first team all SEC player by the way), and they struggled, and this season the team has done a complete 180 from last, she's done an admirable job this season. It buys her AT LEAST one more season.

I do agree with this. I think a reasonable argument can be made for it because of the salary she is being paid, but unlike on the men's side you can sell hope with improved recruiting and improved product on the floor this year.

I will say, 19th isn't what we are paying for. As recently as 2015 she was the 5th highest paid coach in women's college hoops. I'd have to assume she is still among the top 10.

IMHO she can coach and I like that she disciplines her girls, but at some point soon the product on the court needs to start being in line with what we are paying for. That's the bottom line. And I think that's fair.

She's going to get next year. We'll see after that.
