I do not understand why Peck is under consideration at all.
who said she is?

That sounds like a step backwards.
If that happens, you being a Tenn fan, you’re dead to me and all that goodwill created these past few months wasted!For me, Wes Moore would be my ideal pick but the only issue is his age. I think he is 61 but not sure how long he wants to coach. He is a great coach and would have a lot more resources at Tennessee than say NC State. I would shamefully be sorta a Tennessee fan if he were the coach. I respect him a lot.

bballnut...are you afraid that you're going to end up getting a less than stellar hire now since it's taking so long and hearing that Fulmer isn't paying top $$?
This happened to us in baseball after going to the CWS. Cohen promised a "known commodity" that had been to Omaha numerous times, blah blah blah. We missed out on Schlossnagle, McDonnell and some other big names. I'm pleasantly surprised with Lemonis right now, but it's early.
John Brice has worked for Volquest and 247 sports so might still have contacts...
Not really ESPN broadcasters don’t make the salary of a head coach of a university and she could always return to broadcasting if it doesn’t work out.I still can’t imagine Kara giving up that nice job she has even with the appeal of restoring her Alma Mater, That being said if I’m a recruit and I see Kara Lawson who is all over the TV that’s appealing and if she hires the correct staff it could work Since she doesn’t have any coaching experience.

According to Tennessee booster source Kara Lawson is a done deal to Tennessee.
That would be a very poor hire. Why would you hire someone with zero coaching experience and running a D1 program?
Wow, frankly I'm shocked by this. A lot of Vol fans have been asking for her, but I just think it's really a dice roll to go with someone with zero coaching experience outside of a single stint as USAB 3x3.According to Tennessee booster source Kara Lawson is a done deal to Tennessee.

And ESPN isn't exactly secure employment.
Kara Lawson can second guess with the best of them and I appreciate that. It's a nice skill.
I'm not sure that suggests she's any kind of coach, but I suppose there are plenty of examples of players stepping right into and doing ok.
Dawn Staley was still active when she started winning at Temple.
Pretty tough to start your first job at that level with huge expectations.
The again, there should be plenty of experienced staff with Vols ties to possibly bring in to help.
Kara other gig is with the Wizards.And ESPN isn't exactly secure employment.
