Penson it is

I would fold on that if I’m McCray. I’m sure you want to get back to UT, but MSU is likely going to hang her a million-per-year salary. Plus, the returning team is a national caliber contender if you can hold it together.
That seems like a lot to sacrifice just so that one day you might be able to jump to Knoxville.

He is tired of getting burned. He will probably let it go. He of all people should understand that Obscure little Starkville, Ms., with no Target within 80 miles, is not going to hold a coach for more than 8 or 9 years and even less if the home folk start calling.***
this.
I would hate to see her jump next year because UT got tired of their current coach.
If that is truly the issue, that would be pretty rich coming from a guy who went back to his alma mater from an SEC school. Apparently Mullen had no such language in his deal.
Yep. Make the buyout painful for the Vol Nation. Even at UT, I suspect Women’s basketball loses tons of money for the program. It may be important to some fans, but they will be hesitant to pay a large buyout when they are trying to get their football program back up from the abyss. Salary of $1 mil and a buyout of $2 mil should do it.Exactly. Non-competes and huge buyouts are useless. If a coach wants to leave and that's the only thing keeping him/her at your school, you're going to be stuck with a coach who doesn't want to be here and isn't happy about it.
Let's just hope she can win with the talent on the roster and keep us competitive down the road. I think we all realize that no matter who we got it was going to be a downgrade.
For those of us who still haven't made our mind up about Cohen...
this hire, depending on how it goes, may give us a chance to start noticing some trends with his hiring of head coaches
This situation feels a lot like Mullen's departure. Vic left with a full cupboard so there really isn't any reason for the new coach to under perform

They don't lose a "ton" of money and actually make a few $$ when they are good. So, there is potential there for them to be profitable. The same could also be said for us, however. We aren't quite there yet, but we were headed in that direction.

maybe so, But we are talking about just a 4 year contract and she cannot agree to SEC non-compete to come here for 4years. She can re-negotiate that on the extensions especially if she then has leverage here from doing well and getting extensions to her liking.
But it shows an AD right out of the gate a coach wants the opportunity to leave within 3-4 years. It is a good barometer at the least.
Contract is limited to 4 years. She already wants wiggle room to TN in her first 1-4 years here.
My favorite part is that she was on Dawn Staley's staff at South Carolina from 2008 (Staley's first year at USC) until 2017 (the season they beat us for the national championship).
It goes without saying that Staley is a highly-successful coach during her reign at USC. And McCray-Penson was there for 9 seasons watching and learning.
Hopefully, NM-P will be able to hold our team together and quickly take us to even greater heights.
Interesting stat: overall, Vic Schaefer was 3-12 against Dawn Staley's South Carolina teams. That's almost complete domination.
After spending 9 seasons with Staley at USC, maybe NM-P can help us learn how to beat them on a regular basis.
Let's hope Staley's personality and behavior didn't rub off. She should be fine otherwise.
Unbiased officiating alone would make that a lot more even. How many times has helmet-head & her crew screwed us with them?
