She definitely turned the program around but the fact that she had 3 WNBA draft picks last season (out of 38 total picks) and couldn't A.) secure a top four seed which would have had them hosting first and second round games in Tuscaloosa and B.) could never get over the second round hurdle tells you all you need to know. Maybe I'm misremembering but it also felt like in a lot of our loses the last few years we had a half time or fourth quarter lead and blew it late.

And let me add, there’s no doubt that the SEC is the toughest womens basketball league in the country but when was the last time we upset one of the SEC upper crust like Carolina or LSU or Texas? Hell, when was the last time we even kept those games close? I don’t expect to win the conference and beat everybody but every now and then you need to upset the big dogs just to show you can compete. She seemed to have Tennessee’s number and posted an impressive record against the Vols but they are a shell of what they were under Pat Summit. It was time for a change.
