Mike4AU 1,739 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 OP, your friends in Memphis may be for it, until they have to write a big check to UT to enable it to hire BP. UT has serious financial problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfernoOrangeSS 321 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Bruce Pearl is going to build us into a powerhouse and become THE legend of AU BB. Years from now, your kids won't believe there was ever a time that AU wasn't a perennial NCAA tourney participant. He will be a legend and our BB arena will bear his name. Write it down.

When a preposterous idea is floated, apply some common sense. well then explain to the board the issue. Do you own research for the details but the "issue" is that BP lied to the NCAA and lied to his bosses at UTk and made them all look bad. At most places that is good enough to keep a person from being re-hired after having been fired. And perhaps "issue" #2 is that JJ stuck his neck out and hired BP while the "show cause" was still in effect and gave him a chance to get back in the big time. JMO, but only a truly inconsiderate, ungrateful ba***** would bail out after a year....and I don't think that describes BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee, from the fans to the Athletic department, would love to have Pearl back. They only fired Pearl because the NCAA forced their hand, so don't think they have no love for Pearl.

Tennessee, from the fans to the Athletic department, would love to have Pearl back. They only fired Pearl because the NCAA forced their hand, so don't think they have no love for Pearl. I've heard their AD, Dave Hart, doesn't care to have him back(based on the NCAA infraction). That in itself should end the absurdity. Hart said a coach with NCAA baggage would not be considered for the Vols’ job moving forward. http://www.si.com/college-basketball/2015/03/27/donnie-tyndall-fired-dave-hart-tennessee-athletics Take that how you will. Pearl won't be leaving for UT anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujeff11 6,243 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 http://bit.ly/1HX96oB There has been a lot of buzz about the money. We will donate the entire amount collected if it is under $5M to the charity of Coach Pearl's choosing. How embarrassing, instead of offering to donate that money to help recruit another elite basketball coach for Tennessee, some Tennessee fans would rather send it to a charity named by Pearl, an SEC adversariel foe.

AU64 10,122 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Could have done a lot worse IMO...and I expected them to do so. The guy they just canned seemed to have UTk moving in the right direction ....and I guess Barnes will keep them moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
