Dean Lockwood
Coaching Record:
Northwood University head coach (1991-97): 68-96
Saginaw Valley State University head coach (1998-2004): 64-95
Lady Vols assistant coach (2004-present)
Pros:
Dean Lockwood has been a fixture on Tennessee’s sidelines for 15 years. He served as an assistant under Pat Summit and stayed on staff when Holly Warlick took over. He knows what it means to be part of the Lady Vol program, and he’s helped the Lady Vols win two national titles and a myriad of SEC titles. He also has head coaching experience on his resume, coaching at Northwind University and Saginaw Valley State for a combined 11 years.
Cons:
It’s likely Tennessee is trying to go in a completely different direction and part ways with the Holly Warlick era. While Lockwood transcends the Warlick era, turning to him would seem like settling for UT. Plus, his head coaching experience is only at smaller schools, and he didn’t have a great run at either school he coached at.

Katie Maier of Miami would be a good choice if she had any interest
I would have to agree only two names that would make any sense would be Banghart and Pearl
