Tennessee Women's basketball coach Holly Warlick is in trouble and is on a supernova hot hotseat right now after losing in the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament for the 2nd straight season. Holly,I believe has cut her own throat by criticizing the Tennessee fans and AD Phil Fulmer should just go ahead and fire her because it wont be hard for them to hire a top shelf head coach. I would like to see Baylor Women's Basketball Coach Kim Mulkey coach the Tennessee LadyVols.
