Adams: Re-hiring Pearl would be in the best interest of the program

Yes, but he pointed out it is in the top 10 but declining. And, it appears we won't continue to be in the top 10 if the trend continues.

Basically sums up my feelings on the subject. UT has an NBA quality arena, top 10 attendance (pre Martin), a sizable athletic department and a desperate fan base; there is no reason that we can't fill the void behind UK and UF. And no reason to continue shopping in the bargain bin. (Cuanzo is what, the 11th highest paid coach in the conference?)

Instant said nothing about it declining, he stated something that was wrong. Telling me it's declining is correct, but that's not what Instant said.

Yes, seriously.

I'm going to assume your 2nd "child-related" question was for dramatic effect. Pearl was an employee of the University of Tennessee and as such I expected him to have been offered the proper support, guidance and advice and counsel from his bosses and legal. Starting with providing and discussing the picture in question immediately upon discovery, not presenting him and the other coaches with it prior to entering the hearing. The attorney takes direction from his client, which leads me to the conclusion that it was his client that directed him to withhold evidence until just prior to the hearing. Yet, they told the NCAA that they had received the photo 6 days prior.

No, I shouldn't. That is your point of view, not mine. If I'm not mistaken, Pearl did have the "stones" to man up and requested a follow-up to tell them he did recognize where and when the photo was taken.

There's a huge difference in "having the stones" to tell the truth, and trying to save face. He admitted his lying after it was already known he lied.

Tennessee basketball is more likely to be hit by a meteor and struck by lighting when their winning lottery numbers are picked than rehiring Bruce Pearl!

People tend to hold others to a higher standard than themselves. Not a soul in these forums can say they are perfect either. Some just think they are. :)

It amazes me when people pull out the moral card when talking about college basketball recruiting. Get out of here with that nonsense.

Sadly, Adams typing it out and getting it out to some of the crazy fanbase is enough for some of the nuts to think its going to happen.

The saddest part is that it might actually happen.

Don't care how many beat writers, analysts, media say there is no way Tennessee brings back Bruce Pearl.... He is absolutely the best choice to replace our awful coaching staff and is loved by the fan base.... His errors are nothing compared to the Mizzou coach and he was only suspended 5 games.... NCAA fail

If Egypt can topple their own gov't with social media, we should be able to influence the rehire of Bruce.
