He won't make a move tomorrow, or the next day for that matter. He will sit around and let us take hit after hit with publicity and recruiting, before finally rolling out his choice.

Sensitive Mack will never hire her because she does rude things like flip the bird and will fight for what she believes in. Sound familiar??? That said, she would be great! I love her fire and passion!!! Big Mack Attack won't like that though.
She is Mulky 2.0 !!! Rhodes ego will never agree to hire her

Yeah, I know. Normally I would go for someone that has a ton of head coaching experience at the college level, but in this case, if we were able to get them, I think this would be a fantastic hire. They appear to be 2 excellent coaches. Normally all of that pro experience wouldn't matter as much, but I think the way college basketball is going with the free agent like approach, that would be a plus in this case (they have to be very well connected).

Tang is just a funny comment at this stage. I also would look at a close to retiring pro-player like Taurasi, Bird, or someone of that nature. Bring their ability to connect with players and understanding the game/process with the WNBA, could be a good start.

Taurasi, a former UConn player, has gone on record heaping tons of criticism on Baylor She defended her teammate Griner, about how horrible Griner must have had it attending a university like Baylor. If you think Taurasi will agree to be the head coach of Baylor, you are ignoring who these people are.

And we wouldn't want her. She is the reason for the rift between Kim and Griner. She's a **** starter.

Why is no one talking about Adia Barnes from Arizona. She is on track to make $580,000 next season, just reached the NC game - she flipped the bird, and I really like her personality. She takes no prisoners and knows how to connect. She is one of the coaches of the future and should not be overlooked.


She is the one to pursue. Proven winner. The problem is..if these guys on the premium board are right...we're going to try and save money with this move

Adia Barnes is coaching at her alma mater, Arizona. She's a west coast girl. Most importantly, her husband and asst. coach, Salvo Coppa, is not going to put up with Mack. I would be shocked if Adia came here. Just do not see her coming to Waco, Texas. I think the money would have to be enormous, although everyone has their price. My fear would be if she has success here, she would leave for a west coast job later. But I could be wrong.

If true Mack is going to land Baylor back into gender equity issues, which ironically were largely resolved in large part by the hiring of Kim.

Of course Baylor is going to save money with this move. Only true idiots would pay a new head coach not-named Geno Auriemma or Kim Mukley $2.2M per year. Oh wait................

Where is Bird or Taurasi mentioned ???
If his response was in regards to Taurasi and Bird then he should have clicked on the " at the bottom of the post he was responding too like most posters on this site do instead of just putting his post out there with no reference or context and expecting everyone to know what or who he was posting about.
Just because he respond to a post does not mean that several other posts will have posted before his hits the board and there is no way anyone knows who he is exactly posting about.
.
So your the ****ing fool ...you calm down and teach him how to use the board

So let's get this straight... You call out someone for a comment that had nothing to do with your post and then ***** at them. When it's pointed out you're wrong and it's right in front of you who the comment was for you double down on being a moron... Gotta love it.

Also love the fact that it's pointed out in another thread you're in where you did the same thing and then it was explained. They used the board correctly aka they replied the post they were referencing, you on the other hand assumed it was directed at you, it wasn't, but you went all in. Hell you even used "!!!!" in so yeah, that's you needing to calm down. I on the other hand did nothing of the sort other than call you a fool and to calm down, which based on your "fiery" response for no reason you need to do.

Congrats.

You are right...probably not a really good time to be raising gender equality issues either...

Let's see, what would I do if I were AD?

How about go on interviews where I lie, weasel, and obfuscate, and never breathe a word of apology to Baylor for losing the best coach in school history, but definitely try to still make myself look good?

How did I do? Am I ready for the big bucks now?

Probably like Kim... wrong personality, etc. She flipped the bird instead of circling, grasping hands and singing Kumbaya.

If I were AD:
Call Geno and ask if he can be money-whipped, No. Call Staley and ask if she can be money-whipped, No. Call Tara and ask if she could be money-whipped to move to Waco, No. Call Mulkey and ask if she could be money-whipped to come back to Baylor, No unless I resign. Not resigning so settle for some coach that's never been to a final four and over-pay.
