Chris Low is now reporting Bruce Pearl is out at Tennessee

[strongtower]

Guess Pearl's only choice now is to win the whole f***ing thing. Or at least beat Duke. That would triple Tennessee's Sweet 16 appearances since he showed up? Then on his way out, he can give everyone the finger. That's what I would do.

If Tobias and Hopson follow their coach out the door, I assume Pearl will take another crap school like Milwaukee back to the Sweet 16 before Tennessee gets there again. Hall and Maymon are the teams only bigs without Tobias. Unless you count Woolridge... I don't. BTW, should probably keep Hamilton so he can hold a gun to Jones and Ware's head. I'm not sure a new AD would be a big enough jerk to force a couple of 17 year olds to come play for a coach they've never met.

We'll see... I imagine this will end well though. Can't wait!

Go Vols! Beat Michigan!

I think the "bump" was the final straw for the UT administration.

So UT should honor Pearl for lying to the governing body of his profession? Ignore that he also lied to his boss?

Forget the fact that the NCAA is trying to levy sanctions against Pearl. We should keep him so that UT will go down with his sinking ship.

No if he is fired for lying so be it but the people who try to dismiss his attributes are the ones getting on my nerves with dumb ass threads of KO is better then pearl. That is asinine.

No one has started that thread that I can recall.

That is exactly why Pearl will be fired. Also, the majority of people here who support the firing of Pearl do recognize his accomplishments. However they do not agree that he should get a pass because of them. Also, the thread you speak of was Pearl is better than KO.

add strongtower to the impressive list of people who still just don't get it.

Come on dude. FLORIDA. He beat FLORIDA. Not this year when they were terrible either. No, that sly devil made sure to beat them when they were good.

Pearl was at the media stand 10 minutes before he was asked a question about the game or Michigan. Then the question about Michigan was followed by, "will this be your last game." I'm sorry, but Hamilton needs to be held accountable. Pearl deserves it, but I really feel for the guy.

Wow, sounds rough. Almost as rough as a 17 year old kid having the national media show up on his doorstep asking questions about tape recorded conversations that might cost him his collegiate eligibility. Anything that happens to Pearl professionally, he's earned it.

What does watergate have anything to do with this?

Oh wait my bad

I said he deserved it. Just that I felt for him. Chill.

 

[KYVolFan]

Hamilton has the PR timing sense of a neutered bull moose.

How dumb can he be as we go into the tournament. Hammy what a tremendous morale booster you are. If Pearl is gone at the end of the tournament Hammy should be gone before the sun sets today.

 

[shyster]

Apparently it is morally ok to buy players, as long as no one tells. But don't invite one to a barbecue and lie about. You'll go to NCAA Hades for that

 

[bronco104]

Also, I wonder if someone found out. You know that as soon as someone did they would run with the story. I think he had no choice. And I am in no means taking up for Hamilton. Just think it may have been out of his hands. I have believed for a bit now Hamiltion needed to go.
