The 2006-07 season was a disappointment for Peck and the Gators, with a 14-game losing streak and a final record of 9-22. As a result, she was let go by the university in February but was allowed to finish out the season as coach.

Peck was soon replaced by Amanda Butler for the following season. Despite this setback, Peck quickly found work as a basketball analyst for ESPN, a position she held for 9 years. In June 2016, Peck returned to her alma mater Vanderbilt as an assistant coach, but after the 2017-18 season she stepped down and return to ESPN.
