After three straight historically underachieving regular seasons and two straight historically early exits from the NCAA Tournament by Tennessee Lady Vols standards, Holly Warlick should be firmly on the hot seat. She doesn’t need to be fired yet, but there should be no extended comfort.
With no Final Fours in six years and two straight second-round exits, the administration needs to send a message that program’s slow decline is unacceptable. Unfortunately, if reports are true, they are doing the opposite.
Under the Tennessee A.D. Phillip Fulmer, the Vols are reportedly working on a contract extension for Warlick.
