The reply to John Adams and the stare after are the greatest things EVER! Those of us who lived through the Pat Summitt years know all about Pat's stare. Dare I say it, but Coach Caldwell's stare brought me back to that and gave me chills (and then I cheered so loud).
Absolutely perfectly done. There should be no doubt in Adams' mind that Caldwell is NOT scared of him. This woman can be a ball-breaker if you mess with her. Tennessee got a great one.
I like how she gave John Adams a stiff arm. "I wouldn't be here if I didn't feel like we could do it here." And then the stare down. Somebody must have given her a heads up about Adams.
As a Lady Vol season ticket holder, and having watched our Ladies from Pat to Holly to Kellie, I am very optimistic about our team after hearing Coach Kim. GO LADY VOLS!!
Welcome aboard Coach Kim Caldwell, your exactly right there will be no one like Pat Summitt. I had a rare opportunity to meet Pat Summitt numerous times during her career, she truly was a special coach, person and, truly enjoyed this fan base. I'm happy to see a coach like you because you are all business when it comes to women's basketball, your record is very impeccable and, what you done in Division II & Division I with Marshall is truly amazing, in short wishing you much success here at Tennessee women's basketball! GBO!!!🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🏀❤💯👍💪🙏👏👏👏
Lets see how it goes, lets give her a chance Vol Nation! Lets get behind her like we do all of them, some longer than others. We need youth, its all about getting to know the kids and what make them click. New times we are in, so lets welcome her with open arms and hope and wish for the best. Its in the lords hands, so lets do our part as fans in a positive way. We didn't get named the best fan nation in the US for nothing, right. GBO!! Go Kim as well!!
As soon as I heard about the hire, pulled up some Marshall games on TH-cam. Coach was being interviewed after they clinched at least a share of regular season title, they scored almost 100 points, while she was waiting for the interview. She was totally stonefaced when the interview started I figured out why, she was still pissed off about how they played in the first quarter. Coach Summit would be proud.
Wow, what a GREAT Press Conference. Welcome to Rocky Top Coach Caldwell. I believe you have come to the right place. I am looking forward to watching you and the Lady Vols do GREAT things on the floor and off the floor. This old man believes you are the one to lead this program back to the top. Glad you are here.
Welcome coach congratulations on becoming the lady vols new head coach and how blue blood this program truely is and this job show no fear and learn that stare God bless and good luck
GREETINGS AND CONGRATULATIONS from South Carolina! Home of the NEW, REIGNING, DEFENDING, UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONS OF NCAA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL!!!! .... We're waiting on ya!
I come from the Hickville of the college sports world. New Mexico State, Texas El Paso and New Mexico don't get mobs buying tickets. Male or female. A coach like Kellie Harper and her NCAA tournament resume would have fans in my corner of the world think that she came directly from the Gates of Heaven if she had that type of record over here. I hope Coach Caldwell gets to at least the 2nd round of the ncaa tournament. She gives me the same feeling of, "God help her," that I feel for Molly Miller of Grand Canyon University. Coach Miller hasn't been able to get to the NCAA tournament after 4 years. She has a great coaching history of success just like Caldwell. She has big shoes to fill.
The outlook sure has been stale for the Lady Vols really the past 10-12yrs. I sure hope she can Coach outside of WV! I’m optimistic, I am getting those Heupel vibes, hope I’m right!! GBO🍊🍊
I was happy when they let Holly go, but I was not happy when they let Kelly go. She is saying all the right things, so lets see where this takes us. But I am not convivence this was the right move yet!
tennessee womens basketball reminds me of Nebraska football, UNLV men's basketball, and Arizona St. baseball...used to be good, and now going through Coaches like tampons to reclaim the glory--when maybe one top tier player in a blue moon wants to live in that state.
i love Kim Caldwell and want this to succeed, but she is gonna have quiet the rebuild, this is one of the top jobs but also one of the hardest, I think we miss the NCAAs this year hope I am wrong (hey at least it aint Holly Warlick again)
Playing fast and putting up a lot of shots is fine but making shots is what counts. If she’s going to press the entire game then she’ll definitely have to remake this roster.
I AM NOT SOLD ON THIS HIRE. WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I AM IN A SCENE OF “GROUNDHOG DAY?” THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS A DIFFERENT COACH AND REPEAT THE CYCLE IN 4 YEARS. IF YOU HIRE MEDIOCRE, EXPECT MEDIOCRE RESULTS.
So stupid to fire the previous coach... she did a solid job, and what people don't seem to understand is that there is a lot more parity now than ever before... just because there weren't any natties in the last 5 years, it's not fair to blame the previous coach.
Butch. Pruitt. Harper. Warlick. All killed the introductory press conference. Said all the right things. Sounded great. It was all talk. Hopefully she works out but Danny White went cheap on this hire and it’s more than likely gonna come back to bite us. I know one thing. This hire isn’t scaring anyone in the SEC.
I'm a Gamecock first and foremost but have always respected UT WBB as a benchmark for the women's game. I must say that the decision to replace Kelly was a total and complete mistake. Understanding that college athletics is on a wheel, she should have been given more time. Best of limited luck to this new lady but your AD is the one who is out of his league. You'll replace him within the next two years with this decision and the inevitable failure of UT football.
“ I wouldn’t be here if I thought it wouldn’t work here “!!!!! I’m loving that attitude already
She put John Adams in his place, that's for sure!
What coach has ever not thought or said that though?
YES!!!

Can't do anything but give her a chance. Welcome to Rocky Top!! No one is expecting you to be MY G.O.A.T. Coach. Just be yourself and win. 🧡💙
...and to give God His glory in the process. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sit down John Adams!!! She threw it back on you bud! I love her already!
The more I listen to her talk and watch her attitude I think she's going to be perfect for the lady vols

Fell in love with Lady Vol basketball because of Pat Summit. This gets me excited for Tennessee Lady Vols!
Welcome to Tennessee! I’m excited about this hire…it’s what we have needed in Knoxville. A different brand and a new outlook! GBO…

@@JJBanks1975 ok, thanks for letting us know
Lol, Hey Johnny Boy Adams, she put you in your place. Love it.😂
Me too
Good luck Kim I believe in you and God bless you and the lady Vols
Perfect hire
Give god the glory in the process and that’s all I had to hear! Much love Kim welcome to Vol country
It's been a while for me to get excited for Lady Vols Basketball. That changed today I can't wait to tune in and attend games. GO VOLS!
So excited to have Kim lead the Lady Vols!
Love it! Shut that reporter up at the end! I'm not even going to mention his name because he is that much of a hack.
Amen
Welcome Coach Kim!!! Go Vols!!!
WV girl! Go Vols!
Love the hire!!!Go Vols
Welcome to Rocky top!!!
Welcome Coach!!!!! GBO
Maybe Danny's best hire yet..
"Glory to God"
✌️🙏☝️
Leave it to John Adams to ask a dumb question
And he called her Kim. How disrespectful was that?
Let's Go!!
I’m a believer, she’s gonna bring them to contend with lsu n usc… They are my team, #LLPat

Great hire !!!

Coach Miller hasn't been able to get to the NCAA tournament after 4 years. She has a great coaching history of success just like Caldwell. She has big shoes to fill.
She sounds like former Bruce Pearl of Men's Basketball with her style of play.
Negative 😂. Most definitely similar to the newer wave coached both men's and the women's.
The outlook sure has been stale for the Lady Vols really the past 10-12yrs. I sure hope she can Coach outside of WV! I’m optimistic, I am getting those Heupel vibes, hope I’m right!! GBO🍊🍊
GOD BLESS PAT SUMMITT ,no one can fill her shoes
Coach Summitt does have 8... count 'em... 8 championships, so you are exactly right. No one can fill her shoes.
@@stonecold7919 exactly my friend
@@stonecold7919that’s been our issue tho, is we expect Pat summit level, with no time to build it
“You guys are great, but did you hear that Peyton Manning texted me?”
Mood 😂😂😂
Yeah, if there’s an attention to be had he’s not far behind.
GO BIG ORANGE 🍊
Looking Forward to Kim Caldwell COACHING The Lady Vols!!!!!!!!!!!!
She has the "it" factor.
I absolutely wish her nothing but success, but the look she had during the press conference tells me she realizes this is not Huntington WV anymore.
The "Peyton Manning text me" Comment was the best part lol
I like her.
I was happy when they let Holly go, but I was not happy when they let Kelly go. She is saying all the right things, so lets see where this takes us. But I am not convivence this was the right move yet!
Coke must be a sponsor. Great product placement.
I guess you got that John Adams!
John Adams is a doofus.
Oh wow she’s cute to boot
cool
I wander if the bulls approve? Or did they want another lady vol or bull?
In Danny we trust.

Tennessees issue is they aren’t settling for anything that’s not Pat Summit within a handful of seasons.

Ya'll better recruit some of those girls from South Carolina if you wont a national championship next year
Why they edit an orange coat on her in the thumbnail

Thundering Herd to a Vol in one year…. Cmon Danny. You honestly think that’s going to work?
Kim Caldwell, welcome to the bottom of the SEC.
Good coach but need some players to compete the sec is no joke lsu KY sc an more good luck
Butch. Pruitt. Harper. Warlick. All killed the introductory press conference. Said all the right things. Sounded great. It was all talk. Hopefully she works out but Danny White went cheap on this hire and it’s more than likely gonna come back to bite us.
I know one thing. This hire isn’t scaring anyone in the SEC.
do you know about her record??
She didn't scare anyone in the SUN BELT either, that is, until she was cutting down the nets in PENSACOLA, FLORIDA.
May last 3 years
Big mistake. She has no high level experience.
Little fish comes to BIG water. Little league to big league! What r u thinking UT AD?
We hire winners here
@@greenwave819 🤣🤣🤣
This makes absolutely no sense! They should’ve kept their previous coach!
Ha Lady Vol for life my ASS!!!

Danny White has made 0 bad hires, including Nate Oats to Buffalo
they couldn't get Kim Mulkey so settled for another no name Kim.
Kim Mulkey and toxic behavior isn't welcome on Rocky Top.
She won her press conference. Great start
@ajackson1618 Skipping the national anthem won't fly in Big orange country. She is a solid hire.
They didn't want Kim...
Who would want her??😂
She put that old man in his place. John "are you really a Vols fan" Adams ...
it's not his job to be a Vol fan. He's a journalist.
