Tennessee women's coach Kim Caldwell is finished as a coach

Ten players entered the transfer portal and Kim's big 2026 recruit, OlIvIyah Edwards, just asked to walk away from a $1.25 million NIL deal with the Lady Vols. There's no way Caldwell coaches next season. 0

that he'd made a HUGE mistake. We knew her from the Sun Belt, and granted, we were glad to see her gone from there, but she had one year of D-I coaching experience. ONE YEAR! What made him think she was qualified to coach a program like the Lady Vols, with their long and storied history? He fired Kellie Harper, about whom Pat once said (I was there when she said it, so I can vouch for this), "She's the smartest player I ever coached, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see her back here one day." I hope you don't sleep well at all tonight, Danny. You've done as much as anyone since Dave Hart (aka Heartless Dave) to wreck the Lady Vol program!!!
