Article: Tennessee’s Pearl not coming to Heights

[TN_gal]

Saying Geno has surpassed Summitt and UCONN is now clearly the preeminent program in women's basketball isn't bashing. It's fact.

UCONN is definitely the dominant team for now, but I won't ever count out Coach Summitt.

As for Geno, you mentioned disingenuous snake earlier... I'd definitely put him in that category along with Coach Calipari.

Uhm, no they aren't. Lane Kiffin has made this fan base so paranoid lol:

Be honest, you know most coaches, hell, most people would leave a job for a higher paying one.

 

[SaintBruce]

Can you be any more ignorant?

99% of coaches are looking for an upgrade? Maybe 99% of high school coaches and mid major coaches. Believe it or not, there is still a little bit of loyalty in the coaching biz.

Outside of Jim Boeheim and one or two others, I see little loyalty in the coaching business.

Coach K?

 

[andymuffins]

Eh, if Bruce ever left we would be fine.. On to the next one...

Yea, because that worked before. Bruce is one in a million.

 

[SaintBruce]

Are you limiting this to basketball?

You mean the ones using that as an excuse for not being offered?

Coach K?

And Tom Izzo?

Tom Izzo

Coach K?

There isn't a step up. If there was at the collegiate level, he'd seek to rise.

 

[iuvol2012]

Coach K?

K, Boeheim, Tom Izzo. That is just about all of them to my knowledge.

And yes, I am limiting this to basketball.

 

[getyopopcornready]

Bruce + Tucson = all the coeds he can handle.

I took a road trip there during college and there are an unbelievable amount of gorgeous women there. Bruce would suffer a 2nd divorce if he went there.

 

[BigPapaVol]

Tom Izzo

Where does Izzo go to step up?

Elaborate please.

That was my favorite part of the Memphis search last year. Nothing like watching guys who were never considered for a job telling their fans they aren't pursuing said job. Pearl wasn't the worst offender. Scott Drew probably won that race.

 

[BigOrange15]

And Tom Izzo?

I wouldn't say 99% because there are always exceptions. However, I do think that 9/10 coaches would take a higher paying job.

 

[SaintBruce]

And yes, I am limiting this to basketball.

Ok. Good decision.

 

[BigPapaVol]

K, Boeheim, Tom Izzo. That is just about all of them to my knowledge.

Few is there.

How about Roy Williams?

 

[hatvol96]

Where does Izzo go to step up?

The Pistons.

 

[BigPapaVol]

How about Roy Williams?

again, where is the up? He left KU for what he believes to be an up. There aren't any more.

 

[hatvol96]

How about Roy Williams?

You mean the guy who left Kansas and was negotiating a contract with UNC while his team was in the Final Four? A regular paragon of loyalty.

 

[iuvol2012]

Few is there.

Indeed. Forgot Few.

How about Roy Williams?

No dice. Roy is going to retire in Carolina. He has nowhere else to go.

I see what you mean. Well, if Oregon had it's way, those folks would love to hire Izzo and considering the money Nike would offer, it would definitely be a higher paying job.
