"Kieger has been at the helm at Penn State since 2019 and has managed just one winning season since her arrival. The Nittany Lions have not made an NCAA Tournament since that time."
The lesson here re Kieger, and Coquese is STOP hiring wannabe has been types. They are not going to change their stripes.
Coquese got her millions, new hairdo, new body thanks to a good surgeon. OK, enuf of me being nasty. She is 55 and can retire very nicely, thaks Hobbs.

Expand a bit, I think I know your reasons but...
the cviv coaching tree isnt all that great and while I like her and she definitely has experience at big time programs as an assitant, we need to move away from anything connected with cvs

I think Reiss and Griffiths are the best to go after.

Yeah definitely not as a head coach, especially in this cycle. There’s also this issue, that I don’t remember ever being resolved:

this just seems like a hit piece with disgruntled players quotes

Point out the coach on the list that has better credentials than Tami Reiss. Besides coaching she owned a nightclub, beauty salon and did personal fitness training. She also acted in a few TV shows, did modeling and was also doing commercials. Maybe we can get her to pitch for Jersey Mike's.
Let me add from an A I search:
Dawn Staley and Tammi Reiss (often spelled Tami or Tammie in some references, but commonly Tammi) played together as college teammates at the University of Virginia (UVA) Cavaliers women's basketball team.
They were backcourt partners and roommates, teaming up from 1989 to 1992. Dawn Staley arrived at UVA in 1988 (her freshman year), while Tammi Reiss played from 1989 to 1992. Their overlapping years as key starters were the 1989–90, 1990–91, and 1991–92 seasons.
During that time, they helped lead UVA to significant success, including three ACC titles, three consecutive Final Four appearances, and a run to the national championship game in one of those seasons.
Duffy would be my answer , she was BE coach of the year in 2020 while Marquette's HC , has WNBA credentials as a player and 194-87 as a HC.
But I doubt she'll leave VT to gamble her career at Rutgers, unless Zinn gave her an offer she couldn't refuse

Not that it matters, Duffy's VT team lost to NC State on Feb 8th 82-62. NC St lost to Rhode Island 68-63 way back on Nov 23rd. However, back on Nov 13th Rhode Island visited RU at the packed morning Recess Game and lost to RU 68-63. Rhode Island had 7 new players on the team this year. 3 transfers and 4 freshmen for that early season game. They got better, RU didn't.
