Bruce Pearl has joined ESPN

[mtt2d]

I sure do miss beating up on UF :loco:

 

[Chris4Vols22]

I believe this will help Bruce in his future coaching jobs... His face will be all over espn to help repair his image and help in the recuiting game... good move CBP...

Hell, he may get a shot at a mid-major program. Couldn't ask for much more.

 

[zjcvols]

Congrats to Bruce. He'll do a fine job at ESPN.

He will coach in a major conference again soon. Less than 5 years, in my opinion. There isn't a program in the country he couldn't revive.

Heh. Ok.

Saw ole' Bruce in Jiffy Lube last week. I would've gotten his John Hancock if I new he was a bonafide TV personality.

did he give you a tip?

did he give you a tip?

Bahahahahaha

Just about shot beer outta the nose.

 

[BubbaDoc]

Congratulations to Bruce!

Hope you still have that orange blazer.

 

[YankeeVol]

He's staying living in Knoxville.......

Now that's funny!

2 years at ESPN, then he comes home and we do a lot more NCAAs.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Can this go in the NCAA thread since he doesn't coach at the university of Tennessee anymore?

He could take Kodiak State to the pinnacle.

Thees.

 

[Daloth]

Good for him. Anyone who thinks this needs to be moved since he "doesn't coach for UT anymore" needs to go to the football forum and see the Fulmer and Kiffin topics that stay there non stop.

Stop being butt hurt and let's enjoy a former coach having success.

I was actually poking fun, because someone said the same thing in the swiperboy thread since he no longer plays here.

I could care less where it goes, I have no problem ignoring certain threads.

I wonder if the men/women that go to college and get their degree to pursue this type of career as a TV sports analyst/personality get irritated when these big time TV companies hire former coaches/players (that have no experience or degree in this field) over them? Some of these coaches or players that ESPN hires for their analyst positions are a complete joke. Example: Jalen Rose....lol...

So you not only have an unwavering man love for Fulmer, but also Pearl?

 

[Minibull]

Can't wait to see him coaching UT again in a few years.........................

Is there a dislike button on here...?

Jalen Rose is a joke compared some douchenozzle journalism major who's making the world a better place? GTFO. Rose is solid to boot.

 

[chiefer]

Any chance they celebrate his arrival with a BBQ?

Of the entire pool of terrible analysts, you select one of the best in the bidness.

Nice job.

 

[VolsFan4Ever-11]

Yeah Jalen Rose is a good announcer. I enjoy what he brings, especially as a former player.
