Tennessee Lady Vols = Alabama Football When Saban Leaves
When watching our incredible Women's basketball team dismantle Tennessee at home yesterday, I couldn't help but realize the similarities between what Pat Summit had built at Tennessee & what Nick Saban has built at Bama.
Then after the game, I read the Tennessee message boards & saw where they were insistent that Holly Warlick needs to be fired. Tennessee is currently 16-3.
Anyway, if you want to see what Alabama football will look like after Saban, Lady Vol basketball is the best forecast.
Pat Summitt left in Tennessee in 2012 & since then Tennessee has gone:
27-8
29-6
30-6
22-14
20-12
No Final Fours, 3 Elite 8s, & 1 Sweet Sixteen.
Tennessee Lady Vol basketball is a darn good program STILL, but not quite elite or dominant.
I will be very interesting to see how Alabama fans handle this & I would say that, even with Bama's dominance, Lady Vol basketball had a much greater grip on the sport of women's basketball than Bama has had on football.
